Question

What documents do I need to ship a car overseas?

Answer

US Customs requires original ownership documents. Copies will not be accepted. For an automobile, you will need an original title. Salvage certificates may also work, depending on your shipment's destination. We can provide the remaining documents needed for US Customs clearance.

Question

What documents do I need to ship a machine overseas?

Answer

Since machines do not have original titles, US Customs accepts original, notarized bills of sale or commercial invoices. The document must state the machine is paid for in full, and it must be in color. Copies will not be accepted. Our team can provide the rest of the documents you need for US Customs clearance.

Question

How is the cost of insurance calculated?

Answer

Marine insurance premiums are based on the value of the cargo being shipped, and the desired level of insurance coverage. Most premiums will be between 0.75% and 1% of the asset's value.

Question

How do I claim my item when it reaches the destination port?

Answer

Our team will provide you a Bill of Lading, which is the document needed to claim your asset upon arrival at the destination port. You will require the services of a Customs agent at your shipment's destination to facilitate the local clearance into your destination country. We can recommend an agent at your request.

Question

What costs are not included in your online quotes?

Answer
