Ship a car, truck or machinery from the USA to Slovenia

In a container to Koper, booked with the licensed carrier rather than a broker. A container protects the vehicle and lets three or four share one box so the freight splits across them. Cassandra Logistics is FMC-licensed under OTI No. 025125NF and issues the bill of lading in its own name. Get a price in 24 to 48 hours.

We do, as a licensed US NVOCC. We collect from any state, load and brace the vehicles at our own warehouse in New Jersey, Savannah, Houston or Baltimore, file the US export declaration and ship to Koper.

Yes. We collect directly from Copart, IAA, Manheim and eBay Motors yards anywhere in the United States, bring the vehicle to our warehouse and ship it to Koper. You never need to travel to the States for any of it.

It depends on where the vehicle sits in the States and how many vehicles share the container. Because we are the NVOCC rather than a reseller, the number is the carrier rate rather than a broker markup. Send us the vehicle and the pickup location for a firm figure.

Koper is an Adriatic port, so routings commonly transship through a Mediterranean hub rather than running direct. The sailing schedule therefore matters as much as the loading port. We give you a concrete timeline with the quote rather than a generic range.

Yes, and it is the biggest single saving available on this lane. Ocean freight is charged on the container rather than per vehicle, so filling a 40ft box drops the cost per car sharply. Tell us the exact vehicles and we will confirm the loading plan.

It is the largest dedicated car terminal in the Mediterranean. Six berths, five roll-on roll-off ramps, over 840 metres of operational quay and storage for tens of thousands of vehicles, handling cars from more than twenty manufacturers. Around 885,000 vehicles moved through it in 2024.

Slovenia applies no maximum age to an imported used car. Age changes the vehicle tax rather than eligibility, and the tax payable on a used car steps down with age, falling to roughly a third of the calculated amount once the vehicle is over ten years old.

A tax calculated from the vehicle sales value excluding VAT, with the rate set by the vehicle type, the fuel, the carbon dioxide figure and the emission standard. For used vehicles only a published percentage of the calculated tax is payable, and that percentage falls as the vehicle gets older.

Because of how the base is built. Slovenia calculates import VAT on the customs value plus duty plus the motor vehicle tax, so the vehicle tax sits inside the VAT base rather than beside it and the two compound. On a cheap car it is minor. On an expensive one it is noticeable. Ask your agent to show the calculation on your specific vehicle.

Vehicles holding Slovenian classic vehicle status are exempt from the motor vehicle tax. That status is granted under the Slovenian motor vehicle regulations rather than claimed on build year alone, so confirm your specific vehicle with your agent before you buy it expecting the exemption.

Yes. A vehicle cannot be registered in Slovenia without a certificate of conformity, and for an American car that means going through an accredited inspection body rather than presenting a US document. Factor the time and cost in before you bid.

Yes. Slovenia drives on the right, so American vehicles suit the road configuration directly with no steering conversion. That removes a real cost and delay carried by right hand drive stock from other source markets.

Yes. Excavators, loaders, telehandlers and plant move on this lane. Depending on dimensions we ship containerised, on flat-rack or by heavy haulage, with dismantling and securing where the size requires it. Send the model number so we confirm dimensions rather than estimate them.

Yes. Full container freight from any US origin, including building materials, industrial goods, machinery parts and trade goods. Tell us the commodity, weight and volume and we will price it the same way we price a vehicle shipment.

Yes, and that is a large part of what the port exists for. Koper runs regular rail services into the commercial centres of central and eastern Europe, and its published hinterland includes Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania. Your receiving agent arranges the onward leg.

For Austria and Poland the North Sea container hubs usually work better, and we cover that route on a separate page. Koper earns its place for Slovenia itself and for the countries south and east of it. Tell us the final town and we will route it honestly rather than toward this page.

Yes. Nationwide pickup and towing from any state, whether the vehicle sits at an auction yard, a dealer or a private seller. Non-runners are winched rather than driven. Distance affects the cost of collection, not whether we can do it.

Our warehouses in New Jersey, Savannah, Houston and Baltimore all serve Mediterranean sailings, with East Coast departures most common on this lane. Routings into the Adriatic usually transship, so the schedule matters as much as the loading point.

No. Clearance is handled by a licensed customs agent in Slovenia. We are the ocean carrier, we deliver to Koper, and we provide the documentation your agent needs. Be wary of any company claiming to clear customs in every country, because it cannot.

We handle the US side, including the filing in the Automated Export System. You provide the title or equivalent ownership document and the bill of sale. A vehicle cannot leave the United States without its title, and there is no workaround. See the AES filing guide.

Collection from the US seller, transport to our warehouse, loading and bracing, the US export filing, and the ocean freight to Koper. Slovenian duty, VAT, the motor vehicle tax, the conformity certificate, port handling, your agent fee and inland delivery are paid at that end.

Usually because they exclude collection, loading or the export filing, or because they are broker prices that get revised once the booking becomes real. Ask what is excluded and ask who issues the bill of lading. See what actually drives the cost.

Yes. We can hold vehicles while you win others, then load them together in one container. Auction yards charge daily storage and our warehouse does not, so waiting for the right load usually saves money rather than costing it.

Loaded on its own wheels, chocked, strapped at the wheels or suspension rather than over the bodywork, and blocked so it cannot shift at sea. Where the straps attach is what separates a careful load from a damaged car.

Yes. We photograph the vehicle when it reaches our warehouse and again once it is loaded and braced, before the doors close. That record also supports a claim if anything goes wrong in transit, which is why we do it as standard.

Only if they are declared on the export filing. Undeclared goods inside vehicles are a common cause of clearance problems, and the consequence falls on the importer rather than on the carrier. Send us the list when you book.

Our service ends at the port of discharge. Inland delivery is arranged by your clearing agent, who is already handling clearance. Tell us the final town anyway, since it decides whether Koper is genuinely the right port for your cargo.

Within 24 to 48 hours in normal cases. Send the vehicle details including the VIN and where it sits in the United States. For machinery send the model number so we can confirm dimensions rather than estimating them.

We arrange collection, bring the cargo to our warehouse, photograph it, book the container, load and brace it, file the US export declaration and send you the bill of lading. Your Slovenian clearing agent takes over from the port of discharge.

We are the NVOCC. Cassandra Logistics is a federally licensed Ocean Transportation Intermediary under FMC licence OTI No. 025125NF, legally Royal Port Container Lines, Inc. The licence number is public and verifiable with the Federal Maritime Commission before you send anyone money.
