Hi All,

I was wondering if it is best for us to bring our car from the US to the Netherlands? We have a Mazda SUV which is paid for here in the US and we are trying to decide if we should sell the car and buy a new one in the Netherlands or if we should ship the car when we move? Are we able to bring in a car free of duties and taxes if it is our first car and is for personal use? Also, are we able to eventually able to use our car for business purposes?

Any help and guidance as to recommended avenues and costs would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
