Importing and Auto Shipping to Denmark:

Where and When to Register a Vehicle
New arrivals in Denmark have six months from the date of their own registration with their commune to register any vehicles that they have brought with them. Anyone staying in Denmark for more than one year must import and register their vehicle. They will not be asked to pay any import tax as long as the vehicle has been used, the owner can provide proof that the car was theirs prior to the move to Denmark and that (in the case of newer vehicles only) the car was purchased at least six months prior to arrival in Denmark.

Importing a vehicle from outside the EU

This is a more complicated and lengthier process.

Bringing a vehicle into Denmark from outside the EU as part of personal and household effects can mean that it is exempt from customs duties and VAT. However, the owner must have lived outside the EU for at least the previous twelve months, have bought the car outside the EU and have driven it for at least six months prior to arrival, have already paid the VAT equivalent in another country and must subsequently keep the vehicle for personal use for a minimum of twelve months following import.

Customs clearance must be given before starting the registration process.
Denmark customs must be provided with the following documents:

Letter requesting exemption from customs duties and VAT
The bill of sale/invoice for the car
Certificate of ownership or title
Receipt to prove payment of sales tax (VAT equivalent)
Certificate of insurance for at least the six months prior to import
Proof of residency outside the EU for at least 12 months prior to arrival in Denmark
Shipping document for personal effects

If a vehicle has been owned for less than six months or does not meet the requirements for import duty exemption for any other reason, the owner will be liable for both customs duties and VAT based on the market value of the car.

Vehicles belonging to temporary residents of Denmark (in Transit)
Belgian number plates can only be requested when the applicant has legal residency in Denmark. Non-residents who plan to have their vehicle with them for some time will need temporary plates for insurance purposes. The DIV issues provisional (known as transit) licence plates valid for a six-month period, renewable once. In this case the import formalities need not be completed. Anyone wishing to take advantage of this scheme must provide proof of their address outside Denmark and proof of appropriate insurance cover. Documents not in one of the official Belgian languages will need to be translated.
Anyone wishing to import their vehicle in to Denmark will be asked to provide the following documentation to the customs authorities:

Residency permit showing a permanent address in Denmark
Proof of purchase for the vehicle to be imported
Previous registration document

No import tax will be payable if these conditions are met.

Auto Shipping Insurance for Denmark:

It is recommended that ‘Marine Shipping Insurance’ is taken out on any car that you ship or transport to or from Denmark. In most cases the company shipping your car will not be liable for any damage that occurs to your car over the amount of $500. ‘Shipping Insurance’ is typically purchased our shipping agents before the exportation of your vehicle.
