Bringing a car from Belgium
Belgium matters for two reasons: it has a large used-car market, and Antwerp and Zeebrugge are where many cars bought in the United States are unloaded for Europe. Once a car is released from the port, it continues to Bulgaria on a road transporter like any other EU car.
What to hand over
The Belgian registration certificate, the certificate of conformity if you have it, the purchase contract or invoice, and the keys. A car shipped from outside the EU that arrives at Antwerp or Zeebrugge must be cleared through customs before a carrier can take it on.
