Readying passenger vehicles for international shipping necessitates a full wash and dry, removal or securing of all loose items, inspecting hoses and seals, and ensuring the battery is properly fastened. 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 vehicles differ between domestic and international moves. Many international carriers restrict household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers allow small quantities 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 not covered by standard cargo policies, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for automotive cargo, most carriers suggest starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using vapor inhibitors inside the Vehicle, applying rust-inhibiting sprays to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing covered carriers wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for autos is usually capped and may not reflect the true value of your passenger vehicle. Insurance brokers 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 covered under the same certificate.
For international vehicle transport, you typically need clear title documents, a value statement, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require homologation or conformity certificates. Customs specialists recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Shipping automobiles via ocean freight requires careful securing of the vehicles to prevent movement during transit. It's essential to use appropriate shipping methods such as Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) or containerization, depending on the vehicle type and volume.
Required documentation typically includes the original bill of lading, commercial invoice, export declaration, and proof of ownership. Additionally, vehicles must comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations and may require EPA and DOT forms for compliance with environmental and safety standards.
