When shipping from Kaohsiung to Atlanta, anticipate the impact of the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October). Build in buffer days for potential delays due to weather-related disruptions and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially before Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December). Expect extended transit times and work closely with carriers to adjust schedules as needed during these critical periods.

Readying Autos for international shipping demands Thorough cleaning, removal or securing of all loose items, verifying there are no active leaks, and ensuring the battery is tight and protected. Logistics providers recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required vehicle and customs documentation before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside vehicles Vary by carrier and route. Many international carriers do not allow household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers Permit limited items if they are below window level and securely fastened. Customs advisors recommend confirming with your carrier in writing and understanding that personal items are often outside normal liability, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for automotive cargo, We recommend starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using humidity absorbers inside the Vehicle, applying protective wax coatings to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing sealed equipment wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for autos is usually Limited and may not reflect the true value of your Car. We recommend purchasing full-value cargo insurance that covers theft, impact damage, and moisture-related issues such as corrosion or water intrusion. Provide an accurate value, share recent photos and condition reports, and confirm that loading, unloading, and any storage periods are explicitly insured.
For international vehicle transport, you typically need Proof of ownership, a purchase invoice, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require Emissions or safety compliance documents. Most freight forwarders recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Required documentation includes the bill of lading, commercial invoice, export declaration, and any necessary customs forms specific to both Taiwan and the United States. Additionally, proof of ownership and compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for the vehicle must be provided.
Seasonal considerations may include typhoon season in Taiwan, which typically runs from June to October, potentially affecting port operations and shipping schedules. Additionally, weather conditions along the shipping route and at the destination port in Atlanta could impact handling and customs clearance.
