CUSTOMS RULES AND
REGULATIONS
Cars must be completely empty,
except for factory installed equipment. You may
have no more than 1/4 tank of gas, and all keys
must accompany cars. All cars must be in running
condition for roll on/roll off service.
Custom regulations require that you have the
original title along with three copies of the
title, front and back.
THESE MUST ACCOMPANY THE VEHICLE TO THE PORT. If
there are any liens against the vehicle, a
notarized letter from the lien holder
authorizing the export of the vehicle must also
accompany the car.
The price quote is based on
cubic feet measurements. Older, oversized, and
customized vehicles will be measured at the
port. If they differ from the measurements given
by the customer, any additional cost most be
paid prior to shipping.
Price does include port fees in the USA.
However, should your vehicle need to be stored
at the US port for any reason (i.e.. improper
paperwork), those fees are also the
responsibility of the shipper. The price does
NOT INCLUDE storage fees, handling and custom
duties at the overseas destination.
Also included in the price is catastrophic
insurance. This insurance is for any catastrophe
that may happen, i.e.. the ship sinks. There are
companies that provide marine insurance for your
vehicle. Some auto insurance policies also cover
overseas shipping. Please check with your
insurance agent about this.
Ships depart approximately every week, with
delivery times of approximately 14-21 days. Some
destinations require a transshipment and may
take an additional 7 to 21 days.
For vehicles loaded in containers, they are
subject to U.S customs reinspection after titles
cleared U.S customs. Any fines or additional
cost incurred by i.e off loading of your
container, roll over fees, port storage fees and
any additional fees will be added to the
shippers account. for further clearification
please feel free to aks any questions you might
in regards to U.S customs regulations.
