9.11 How do I arrange the documents required for exporting a vehicle outside the EU? (Continental European customers only)

OPENLANE is only able to provide the EX-A and T2 documents for cars located at the HUB in Genk, Bilzen and the HUB in Raamsdonksveer.


EX documents

An EX document (or EX-release) is required when exporting vehicles to countries outside the European Union. The cost for having this form provided by OPENLANE is €110 and you will also receive a copy of the original car documents. It takes approximately two working days for the EX document to be delivered to you in digital form.


T2 documents

A T2 document is a transit note that’s required when exporting vehicles to European countries that are not members of the EU, including San Marino and Switzerland. When you are shipping to these countries and request your EX document from OPENLANE, we will also provide the T2 document in digital form.


Arranging your own EX and T2 documents

You are also free to arrange your EX and T2 documents yourself. If you do so, the customs agency will usually require you to complete a power of attorney/authorisation document. This needs to be filled in, stamped and signed by OPENLANE (see example). As the customer, it is your responsibility to arrange the power of attorney/authorisation document with OPENLANE and ensure it is filled in correctly. This form can be sent to [email protected] for processing. At your written request, a copy of the car documents will also be provided.
