Selling vehicles abroad: The importance and details of the required documentation

Selling vehicles abroad requires comprehensive and accurate documentation to ensure that the transaction goes smoothly. This documentation not only serves to fulfil legal requirements, but also to minimise potential problems and risks. In the following, we will explain the various documents that are required as part of a vehicle sale abroad.

Contents

Purchase contract: The basis of the transaction

The sales contract is the heart of the vehicle sale. It contains all the essential information about the vehicle, the seller and the buyer. This includes the purchase price, the vehicle identification number (VIN), the condition of the vehicle and any guarantees. Special attention should be paid to the inclusion of the CMR certificate (TIR Carnet), which is necessary for international transport.

Proof of ownership: Certainty about the vehicle history

The proof of ownership, also known as the vehicle title or certificate, proves who the rightful owner of the vehicle is. This document must be updated before the sale to correctly reflect the new owner. It is of great importance as it documents the vehicle history and ownership.

Technical inspection and certificates: The safety of the vehicle

In some countries, a technical inspection of the vehicle is required to ensure that it meets local standards and safety requirements. The certificate confirming this inspection must be handed over with the vehicle. It is important to observe the technical requirements of the destination country and ensure that the vehicle complies with them.

Export documents: The smooth transfer abroad

The export of vehicles requires special documents that officially register the export of the vehicle. These usually include export declarations and customs documents. The exact requirements can vary from country to country, so it is important to know and follow the respective regulations.

Confirmation of arrival and registration documents: Proof of legal importation

The confirmation of arrival is a document that confirms the legal import of the vehicle into the destination country. This is of great importance to avoid customs problems and to ensure the import of the vehicle. The registration papers are also important as they document the registration of the vehicle in the destination country.

Provided export declaration (in EU foreign countries): The necessary confirmation of export

In other EU countries, the export declaration provided is important. This document confirms that the vehicle has been exported to the third country and is therefore exempt from VAT. The correct issuance of this document is crucial to avoid financial and legal problems.
