Shipping Cars Abroad – How Should You Prepare for The Event?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We are usually familiar with shipping cars within the country while relocating. However, there are instances when it becomes necessary to move cars from one country to another and across the seas. While families and individuals prefer to sell their car before moving, businesses that depend on vehicles to operate cannot do the same. If you own such a business, you would be happy to know that there are companies that specialize in shipping cars.

If you decide to move your car from the USA to any other country, shipoverseas.com can help you.  The company can ship your vehicle from port to port to reach the preferred destination. Although the shipping company will handle all the stress of transportation, you have to be prepared to make the journey smooth. Let us explore what measures you can take to facilitate the shipment.

Check the viability of shipping

The vehicle that you want to ship has to comply with the laws of that country. Many nations do not allow import of used cars, and most countries have strict rules about the age and vehicle type that are allowed in that country. Learn about the rules well, so that the car that you are shipping meets the requirements.  Also, know about the duties and taxes to be paid in that country to evaluate the feasibility of shipping the car. Browsing through the website of the Customs department of that state should provide enough information.

Have the car documents in place

Shipping overseas is an export activity, and it requires a lot of documentation. The shipping company does it for you, but you have to provide the correct documents to avoid any embarrassment later. Some of the necessary documents are:

  • The bill of sale (purchase contract) if it is a new car.
  • Current registration certificate.
  • Certified copy of the title certificate or the original.
  • No objection certificate from the lien holder (if there is a loan on the car).
  • Any documents that are specific to the country or destination.

Decide on the shipping method

Depending on how much you want to spend on shipping, you have to choose between shipping in a container or use the Roll on/Roll off service. The latter means that the car is rolled onto the ship at the loading port and rolled off during unloading. As a business owner, you may be allowed on deck shipping that is applicable for large consignments of cars only.

Choose the shipping company

Research on the internet to select a shipping company that you want to entrust with the job of shipping your car. Give preference to businesses that have the necessary certification by BBB (Better Business Bureau). If you are not happy with the insurance cover of the shipping company you have to take additional cover at extra cost.

The shipment company should have a service at the port that is nearest to your home. This way, the cost of delivering it to the harbor will be less. Finally, prepare the car for handing it over to the shipping company.
