Preparing your bike for its international shipping process may take some time. To lawfully ship a motorcycle off to another country, you must pay attention to the laws.

Not only must you prepare the documentation, but you’ll have to get the bike itself ready. Below is standard preparation for a bike before transport.
- Cleaning the inside and outside of the vehicle so that all dirt and debris is gone.
- Removing any possessions from the vehicle. This includes GPS systems, DVD players, and any other electronics or items that didn’t originally come with the vehicle when it was manufactured.
- Top off all fluids in the vehicle except the fuel. The gas tank shouldn’t have more than a ¼ of a tank of fuel in it.
- Have the vehicle looked at by professional technicians and write down any damages or problems with the vehicle. Even note any visible markings and take pictures.
