q: What does it cost to ship my vehicle overseas?

a: Prices are determined by vehicle size, condition, service availability, origin and final destination. Please fill out our shipping quote form to request the rate.

q: How long will the shipment take?

a: The transit time of an ocean shipment depends on port of departure and port of arrival. As an example, a shipment from New York to Bremerhaven, Germany takes 11-14 days; from Los Angeles the transit time increases to 1.5 months. In general, please allow one-two weeks for vehicle loading and clearing customs.

q: W hat do I need to do to prepare my vehicle for shipment?

a: please make sure your vehicle contains no more than 1/8 tank of fuel and all personal items are removed. Only those items that were original equipment (including the spare tire and tools), or permanently installed aftermarket items can be shipped with your vehicle.

Personal effects, under certain circumstances, may be shipped with your vehicle. Please, check with our customer service prior to making shipping arrangements.

q: What documents are required to export my vehicle?

a: US customs officials require either the original title, confirming vehicle ownership, or notarized copy of the title with the original lien release letter from the lien holder.

If a lien (loan) is held on the vehicle, a letter from the lien holder is required, referencing the year, make, model, VIN (vehicle identification number) of the vehicle and specifically granting you authorization to ship your car to the destination country. The letter must be on the lien holder's original letterhead, signed in blue ink and dated by the lien holder; it should also include contact name, address and phone number.

Above documents are required to expedite export clearance and will be returned upon completion of the US customs export clearance procedure.

q: Do I need marine shipping insurance?

a: Optional marine insurance provides coverage against loss during ocean transit. We can arrange total loss or all risk marine insurance on your behalf, or you can consult your insurance company to determine whether marine insurance coverage is included within your existing vehicle policy.

q: Will duties and sales tax apply upon entering vehicle into a foreign country?

a: It depends on the destination country, your residence status and employment status. We recommend contacting the embassy commercial office for the country of destination for current rate information.

q: Will there be other charges due at the destination port?

a: Yes, there will be applicable port handling charges upon arrival at the destination port. These charges cover terminal handling/off-loading and documentation fees for your vehicle. We can only estimate what these charges might be, as they vary from destination to destination and type of service.

q: Will there be anyone to assist me with the customs clearance and pick-up of my vehicle?

a: Yes, we’ll provide you with full details of the destination agent at the time of sailing. You can also use your own customs broker at the country of destination.
