The United States is the world's largest mobile home market, but importing European mobile homes is an emerging high-value niche. Green Village offers export of European mobile homes (UK, Netherlands, France) to the US; transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division. European mobile homes are valued in the US for superior build quality, compact design, and premium materials — distinct from American manufactured homes (HUD-regulated). Prices for the US start from $17,150 for used units; transport is included in the delivered price. Target markets include luxury resorts, glamping parks, Airbnb/VRBO hosts, and private buyers who value European design. Green Village handles all logistics: export preparation, documentation, transport, and US customs clearance.
Przepisy
In the US, mobile homes are regulated at federal level by HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) for factory-built manufactured homes. Imported European mobile homes do not classify as HUD homes — they are treated as prefabricated structures. Import requirements include customs declaration, EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) compliance for materials, and potentially UL certification for electrical installations. There is no federal VAT in the US; state sales tax applies (0-10% depending on state). Customs duties depend on the tariff classification and origin of the unit and are confirmed in the written quote. Each state has its own zoning and installation regulations for prefabricated structures — Green Village advises on specific destination state requirements.
Transport
Transport to the US, to the final destination state, is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division. Green Village coordinates the unit's preparation for the journey, export documentation and US customs clearance. Transport is insured at 100% of the unit's value, from collection to installation on site. Transport is included in the delivered price shown on each product page, and the exact amount is confirmed in the written quote.
Ceny
European mobile home export prices to the US start from 14 576 euros for quality used units. The delivered price shown on each product page already includes transport, which is insured at 100% of the unit's value, from collection to installation on site. US customs clearance, applicable customs duties and final delivery are confirmed in the written quote. There is no federal VAT — only state sales tax.
Montaż
Installation in the US varies significantly by state. Most states require a permanent foundation (concrete pad or pier-and-beam) and local building permit. Electrical connections must comply with the NEC (National Electrical Code) — European mobile homes require conversion from 230V/50Hz to 120V/60Hz American standard by a licensed electrician. Water and sewage connections follow local building codes. In states like Florida and Texas, with strong manufactured housing markets, the process is more streamlined. In Northeast states (New York, Massachusetts), regulations may be more restrictive. Green Village provides state-specific installation guides and referrals to local installation partners.
Najczęściej zadawane pytania
