When shipping from New York to Buenos Aires, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports. During the North America Winter Storms (December-March), prepare for delays due to snow and ice, and avoid tight cutoffs. Additionally, during the South Atlantic Cyclone Risk (November-April), monitor weather forecasts closely and allow for potential diversions. Lastly, confirm vessel space early during peak seasons, such as the South America fruit export peak (January-May) and soy export peak (February-June).

Preparing cars for international shipping Requires Thorough cleaning, removal or securing of all loose items, inspecting hoses and seals, and ensuring the battery is tight and protected. We recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required Titles and export documents before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside Autos depend on the transport company and lane. Many international carriers Prohibit 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. Most experts 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 Autos, specialists 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 Desiccant packs inside the Vehicle, applying rust-inhibiting sprays to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing sealed equipment wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for Vehicles is usually restricted and may not reflect the true value of your Car. We recommend purchasing comprehensive 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 Auto transport, you typically need the original title or registration, a Commercial invoice or bill of sale, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require Emissions or safety compliance documents. Customs specialists recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Required documentation includes the vehicle's original title, bill of sale, and a customs declaration form. Additionally, an import permit may be necessary for Argentina, along with proof of compliance with local regulations regarding emissions and safety standards.
Seasonal weather patterns can affect ocean freight routes, with potential for storms during hurricane season, typically from June to November. It's advisable to consider these factors when planning shipments to ensure smooth transport and minimize delays.
