Collection Network

Pickup Across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany

We collect throughout the Netherlands — from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Groningen and Maastricht.

France is covered on request as well.

  • Every province of the Netherlands covered
  • Belgium & Germany pickups in the same booking, France on request
  • Dealer lots, auction houses, warehouses & private addresses
  • One team from first message to departure
Collection by Source

How Collection Differs by Source

AUCTION PURCHASEUsually can’t leave without a release note or gate pass — we arrange the pickup date together with the auction house to avoid storage days.
\n
DEALERSHIPGenerally quicker — agree a time, and the vehicle or cargo and its documents are ready when our driver arrives.
\n
PRIVATE SALE / BUSINESSWorks on its own schedule — tell us when the vehicle or cargo can be reached, and collection is arranged around that.
Cargo Types

Car Shipping to the United States

Car Shipping to the United States is a popular service for private customers, collectors, dealers, expats and companies. Vehicles are often shipped from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany to the USA for relocation, resale, collection, events or personal use.

We can arrange shipping for many types of vehicles, including private cars, classic cars, luxury cars, sports cars, electric vehicles, motorcycles, vans, pickup trucks, auction vehicles and dealer vehicles.

  • Private cars and family vehicles

  • Classic cars and collector vehicles

  • Luxury cars and sports cars

  • Electric and hybrid vehicles

  • Motorcycles

  • Vans and pickup trucks

  • Auction and dealer vehicles

Vehicles can be shipped by Container Shipping or, when suitable, RoRo Shipping. Container shipping is often used for cars to the USA because it offers protection and flexibility, and a car can be shipped alone or together with parts, personal items or additional cargo when accepted. The best method depends on the vehicle, destination port and shipment details.

Export Documents

Paperwork to Arrange Before Export

We handle all essential export documentation, including the EXA Export Declaration, customs paperwork, commercial invoice, packing list, and Bill of Lading instructions to ensure a smooth export process to the USA.

⚠ Check this early: make, model and VIN need to appear identically on every document. It’s easy to overlook — and one of the more common reasons a shipment gets held up at the terminal.

Shipping Methods

Deciding Between RoRo and Container Shipping

ROLL-ON / ROLL-OFF

RoRo Shipping to USA

Built around anything that can move under its own power — driven onto the vessel at the European port, then driven straight back off at the Port of USA. No container, no lifting gear.

20FT / 40FT CONTAINER

Container Shipping, RoRo Shipping and Special Cargo to the USA

We offer 20ft, 40ft, High Cube, Open Top, and Flat Rack container shipping, along with RoRo, Breakbulk, and Project Cargo solutions for vehicles, household goods, machinery, and commercial cargo.

We recommend the most suitable shipping method based on your cargo’s size, weight, dimensions, and destination to ensure safe and efficient transport to the USA.

Not sure which one suits your shipment? Describe what’s travelling and we’ll compare RoRo against a container for your specific vehicle, cargo and timeline.

Container Freight

Household Goods and Business Cargo Shipping to the USA

Household goods shipping to the United States is often needed when people move from Europe to the USA for work, study, family, relocation or personal reasons. This can be a small shipment with several boxes, or a larger shipment with furniture, personal belongings and household items.

This service can be suitable for moving boxes, furniture, clothing, books, kitchen items, bicycles, tools, personal belongings, household appliances, small machines, personal effects, full household moves and mixed shipments with a car or motorcycle.

Business Cargo Shipping to the United States is used by companies that export products, equipment and industrial goods to American customers. This can include machinery, automotive parts, technical equipment, medical equipment, electronics, tools, workshop equipment, commercial stock and project cargo. Business cargo can move by 20ft container, 40ft container, flat rack, open top container or breakbulk shipping depending on the size and weight.

For household goods and business cargo, we usually need the pickup address, destination city or state, number of boxes or items, estimated volume, photos and packing list. We can arrange pickup, inland transport, export documents, customs documentation, container booking and ocean freight to the United States.

Machinery Shipping to USA

Machinery shipping from the Netherlands to USA is arranged just as regularly as our vehicle and container bookings. Construction equipment, agricultural machinery and industrial equipment are loaded into a 20ft or 40ft container, documented and shipped through the same process as everything else — inland transport, export paperwork and ocean freight to the Port of USA.

What Affects the Price

None of this is fixed enough for a published price list to mean much. We put a figure together once we know where it’s coming from, what exactly it is, and where it’s headed.

Shipping from Rotterdam, Antwerp and Germany to US Ports

Many USA shipments start in Rotterdam, Antwerp or Germany. These are important export areas for vehicles, containers, household goods, machinery, industrial cargo and commercial goods moving to the United States.

In the Netherlands, pickup can be arranged from Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Venlo, Tilburg, Breda, Utrecht, The Hague and surrounding regions. In Belgium, we arrange pickup from Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Liege, Charleroi and nearby areas. When needed, export shipments can also be arranged from Germany, including Dusseldorf, Cologne, Hamburg, Frankfurt and surrounding regions.

Common US destination ports include New York, Newark, Baltimore, Savannah, Charleston, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland. East Coast ports usually serve the eastern states, Houston and Miami serve the south, and the West Coast ports serve California and the western United States. The best port depends on where the cargo needs to go after arrival.

Cargo can be collected from private homes, dealers, auctions, warehouses, factories, workshops, storage yards and company locations. Once the shipment details are clear, GSA LOGIX checks the most suitable route, shipping method and export preparation for the chosen US destination.

Stay on Schedule

Delays We Help You Avoid

A handful of recurring issues account for most of the hold-ups we see. Spot them early and the shipment keeps moving on schedule instead of stalling at the terminal.

HOLD·01

A contact number that changes after the booking is already confirmed.

HOLD·02

Paperwork describing a different vehicle, model or VIN than what’s actually collected.

HOLD·03

Nobody around to hand over the vehicle or cargo on the day it’s due.

HOLD·04

Someone other than the owner exporting without proof they’re allowed to.

HOLD·05

A booking confirmed so close to sailing that there’s no room to absorb a hiccup.
