To be eligible for the Overseas Delivery Program as part of our tourist program, you must be a U.S. resident and have both a valid driver's license and a passport. You must also be at least 18 years old. Although we're sure you could spend a lifetime exploring Europe, you must bring your new Volvo back to the United States within two months (if dropped off outside of Scandinavia) or six months (if dropped off in Scandinavia) of taking European delivery to remain exempt from a levy of VAT (25% of purchase price) by the Swedish tax authorities. For details, see the Home Shipment Brochure under "Bringing Your Car Home."
