Air cargo to Faroe Islands

Air cargo (air freight) is the fastest way to ship to Faroe Islands. It is ideal for clothes, documents, electronics and things you need as soon as you arrive. Prices are based on the "chargeable weight": the actual weight or the volume weight, whichever is higher, so air cargo is best for smaller, lighter shipments.

Air shipments to Faroe Islands usually arrive at Vágar.

Car shipping to Faroe Islands

Cars can be shipped to Faroe Islands by RoRo (driven onto a special ship) or inside a container, which can also hold some household goods. Import duties, age limits and registration rules differ by country, so check the rules for Faroe Islands before you buy or ship a car.

  • RoRo: the car is driven onto the ship. Often the cheapest option, but you can't pack belongings in the car.
  • Container: more protection, and you can combine the car with household goods.
  • To export a car from the USA you need the original title, and the documents must be given to U.S. Customs before the car is loaded.
