FAQ For the past years we have been specializing in packing and shipping automobiles, boats, motorcycles and other vehicles in containers. Frequently Asked Questions What documents do I need in order to export a vehicle? An original certificate of title and a bill of sale is required. If I don't have a certificate of title? If there is no certificate of title either the seller or buyer can apply for one. Please note that sometimes there are additional fees like sales tax and back fees if the car is not registered. If the seller has lost the title he can apply for a duplicate which takes anywhere between 2-6 weeks. Please contact any DMV office for further details or visit www.dmv.org/ What if the car is junk? You must obtain a print out from the DMV stating that the car has been "junked". What documents do I need in order to move my personal goods overseas? You need to have a packing list of the personal goods you are taking with you. If a car is included, you need to have owned it for at least a year and present a proof of insurance and a bill of sale. Depending on the country you are importing to Rules and Regulations will vary. Do I need insurance? Marine insurance is optional and at your discretion. There will be no coverage for shipments moving without insurance. We offer the following insurances: "Total loss only insurance" or "All risk insurance". Total Loss insurance only covers if your vehicle cannot be recovered or salvaged. All Risk insurance covers total loss and damages that have occurred from loading and unloading. Please notify any of our staff before the vehicle is packed should you opt to purchase marine insurance. What about foreign customs? Most foreign governments require duties for any imported goods which are payable at the destination. You will need to provide receipts for all incoming goods. Our agents overseas will be glad to assist you with your questions or inquiries on port or customs regulation at destination. Can you arrange for a container to arrive at a specific date? All dates (departure/arrival) are estimates and based on information provided to us by the carriers. They may change at any point before or during transit so, therefore, are not guaranteed. However, we furnish our customers with any updates as we receive them.
