}EU-27 coverage
The first platform to offer import tax and registration cost estimates across all 27 EU countries.
Give international buyers a clearer view of the true arrival cost before they enquire, with country-specific estimates built into the same logistics response.
Expand the sales area of every vehicle you list
The API gives commercial platforms a simple way to show transport, shipping, customs and registration context without building the operational machinery behind it.
International car dealers
Show customers delivered-cost estimates before they enquire, even when the buyer is in another country.
Listing sites and directories
Add transport, import and registration context to vehicle adverts without becoming a logistics operator.
Relocation companies
Quote vehicle moves alongside household relocations with structured route, tax and continuation data.
One API for the awkward parts of cross-border vehicle sales
Buyers rarely stop at the sticker price. They need to understand transport, freight, import taxes, testing and registration before they commit. SMC API v1.0 packages those estimates into a clean response your platform can display or hand off to ShipMyCar.
