Requirements for Moving a Vehicle Overseas
The requirements for transporting your vehicle into Northern Africa are pretty consistent from port to port. Although customs regulation varies throughout the continent, you’ll want to be prepared for changes known to occur. To avoid theft, shipping services require shippers to present proof of ownership of the vehicle as well as other documents, which include:
- Drivers License.
- Title and Registration.
- Seaway Bill.
- Proof of Insurance.
- Proof of Residency.
How the Cost of Freight a Vehicle Is Determined
Transport companies can give their customers a quote over the phone for their specific transporting service fees. Other taxes, such as foreign customs duty or offloading fees, differ and must be paid on arrival. Those transporting an auto can pay for the shipping process using a credit card or cashier’s check; personal checks are usually unaccepted.
A transport company's rate can vary depending on the shipper's specifications, such as the vehicle's weight and the mode of shipment. Vehicles can be transported in enclosed containers or on open decks of ships. Offloading costs are also more significant for container shipping. Batteries, coolants, and oils that leak during transport add additional costs.
Preparing a Vehicle for Overseas Cargo
After you have the proper documents ready, you should document damages to the vehicle and have it fully serviced. This will ensure that the car is prepared to be driven and won’t cause issues for customs. Personal items must be removed from the vehicle if the shipper doesn’t use a container. Personal items left inside of the car cannot be insured and are subject to additional taxes and fees.
