⚡ Quick answer: How can I ship a vehicle by RoRo from the USA to Croatia?
Eligible running vehicles and wheeled equipment can be collected in the United States, delivered to a suitable export terminal, cleared for export and booked toward Croatia. Rijeka is Croatia’s principal commercial port, but carrier availability, the actual arrival terminal and any transshipment must be confirmed for each booking.
All TransportDepot Inc. coordinates commercial RoRo exports from the USA to Croatia for cars, SUVs, trucks, buses and eligible rolling machinery. As an FMC-licensed and bonded NVOCC (#021693), we can arrange nationwide pickup, export-terminal delivery, document review, export filing and ocean booking.

RoRo shipping through Rijeka, Croatia
Rijeka is Croatia’s largest port and a major Adriatic cargo gateway. The exact carrier, terminal and connection depend on the U.S. departure point and current schedules. A shipment may require European transshipment or inland movement, so we confirm the workable routing before accepting an order.
Importers should confirm customs treatment with the Croatian Customs Administration. Vehicles originating outside the EU may also require conformity or homologation review. American-market vehicles should be checked with Croatia’s competent vehicle-testing authority before shipment because technical compliance is separate from ocean transport.
Cargo commonly considered for RoRo
- Running cars, SUVs, vans and pickup trucks
- Commercial trucks, buses and fleet vehicles
- Construction or agricultural machines that roll safely
- Eligible trailers and other wheeled cargo
Acceptance depends on operating condition, dimensions, weight, ground clearance, leaks and carrier rules. Non-running or unsuitable cargo may require container, flat rack, lift-on/lift-off or breakbulk service.
Information needed for a quote
- Year, make and model or complete equipment description
- VIN when applicable
- Exact dimensions and weight for machinery
- Running condition and known damage
- Pickup ZIP code and preferred Croatian destination

Typical U.S. export documents
Vehicle exports commonly require the original title or other acceptable ownership evidence, identification, bill of sale or commercial invoice, and consignee information. Extra authorization may be required when the exporter is not the titled owner. Final requirements are determined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the carrier.

RoRo or container shipping?
RoRo is often practical for operable vehicles when suitable capacity exists. Container shipping provides enclosure and can suit high-value or non-running units. Oversized equipment may need flat rack, breakbulk or lift-on/lift-off handling.
Cost and transit planning
Rates depend on cargo size, pickup distance, U.S. export terminal, carrier routing, fuel adjustments and destination handling. Transit estimates vary with sailing frequency and connections. We provide a shipment-specific quote rather than promising a generic fixed price or transit time.
Frequently asked questions
Can a U.S.-specification vehicle be registered in Croatia?
Do not assume eligibility. Confirm conformity, modifications and registration requirements with Croatian authorities or a qualified local specialist before booking.
Can belongings remain inside a RoRo vehicle?
Carriers generally restrict personal effects. Only load items if written carrier approval has been obtained.
Do you clear the vehicle in Croatia?
We coordinate U.S. export and ocean transportation. The importer should appoint a Croatian broker for customs, taxes, conformity and final release.
