Ship a Motorcycle to Guam

You will need the title, registration, a government-issued ID, and a bill of sale if recently purchased. Guam customs also requires a clearance form and proof of ownership that matches the vehicle identification number. Shipments arriving from the mainland or overseas move through U.S. territory protocols, so documentation must be error-free to avoid delays. For cost planning, many riders use A1’s motorcycle shipping cost calculator.

The lowest-cost method is typically crated transport paired with standard ocean freight. Using a major West Coast port lowers long-haul domestic trucking costs, which often account for a large portion of total spend. Riders willing to drop off at the port and accept flexible sailing dates typically pay less. Crates also reduce damage risk and insurance claims, which can further reduce total expense.

Most shipments fall between $1,200–$2,000, depending on distance to the departure port, service level, crating, weight, and seasonal demand. Guam freight rates are influenced by vessel schedules and limited weekly sailings. Prices also shift when moving from remote mainland states or Alaska. For broader pricing comparisons, review the international motorcycle shipping guide.

Yes. Guam follows U.S. DOT and EPA standards, so imported motorcycles must match federal safety and emission guidelines. Customs may request manufacturer specifications, and discrepancies can delay release. Ensuring the bike is clean, leak-free, and properly documented helps speed inspection. For riders comparing transport styles, this resource on uncrated motorcycle transport explains how condition affects handling.

Most shipments arrive in 18–30 days. Transit length varies by mainland origin, domestic trucking time, port congestion, and vessel availability. Guam-bound sailings are less frequent than Hawaii or mainland U.S. routes, so scheduling early is important. Riders using enclosed domestic transport or crating services should add a few days for loading and preparation.

Service members can often ship a motorcycle with PCS allowances, but approval depends on branch rules and weight entitlements. Many choose to ship privately for more control over timelines. Military shipments typically require a copy of PCS orders, POV authorization, and updated base registration. For general guidance, see A1’s military motorcycle shipping resources.
