  • Since Afghanistan has no seaports of its own, vehicles shipped there go through Pakistan using either RORO (roll on, roll off) or containerized shipping.

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save the ground transport cost by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for 1 car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive, and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

If you intend on going to Afghanistan for any extended length of time, consider having your vehicle shipped over too. Whether you are there for employment or study, Afghanistan is a place where having your own vehicle will definitely be worth your while.

With everything going on in Afghanistan, staying there for a while will be challenging. Having your own vehicle will allow you to travel freely and avoid language barriers and other challenges that come along with moving to a foreign country.

The Variety of Hauling Methods Available

After contacting the Embassy of Afghanistan for the most current information about vehicle shipment from the United States, consider the variety of shipping/exporting methods available to you. Three methods are available for vehicle hauling/exporting. However, one of these methods is rarely used.

The cheapest form of vehicle shipment is RO/RO shipping. This moving/exporting method requires that the automobile remain empty with a few exceptions. Only floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire are allowed inside the motorcar at the time of shipment. The automobile will need to be rolled onto and off the ship.

Another common delivery method is the container method. This method allows you to fill the motorcar and the container with other belongings. The containers usually come in two sizes. They can also be shared with someone else, splitting the costs.

Air shipping is another method for automobile shipment. This method is great for landlocked countries, yet it is so expensive that not many people can afford to have a vehicle shipped this way.

Keep in mind, that not all ports accept the RO/RO hauling method. Make sure there is one that does somewhere near you so that you can easily retrieve your vehicle when it arrives or is imported. A port will not hold a motorcar for the owner. You must be present on the day that it arrives at port.

Hauling Of Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo

It can be challenging to transport bulky items and heavy machinery across international borders without the assistance of transporters or the proper shipping materials and equipment. Also, you will need to follow international import policies, which can be challenging for those without adequate background information. A1 AT is here to help, fortunately.

Ideally, any cargo that cannot fit into a 40ft shipping container is considered as over-sized. However, if your cargo fits into a shipping container yet exceeds the standard weight limits, it may also be considered heavy equipment. Here are some examples of the heavy and oversized equipment we’re able to have shipped overseas:

  • Tractors, combines & other farm equipment
  • Backhoes and excavators
  • RVs and motorhomes
  • Industrial equipment
  • Bulldozers, dump trucks and forklifts
  • Hydraulic equipment
  • Oversized engines
  • Pile drivers
  • Cranes
  • Large trucks & heavy vehicles
  • Engineering & agricultural equipment

At A1 Auto Transport, we ensure the safe transport of your heavy equipment from the United States to Afghanistan. We will even make sure you comply with foreign policies so that your cargo isn’t denied access into the nation. Throughout the entire shipping process, you will benefit from our guidance and the ability to monitor your cargo’s whereabouts through satellite tracking services.

The Hauling Options We Have Available

Depending on your cargo and the route that must be taken to carry out the delivery, we have several shipping methods available. Some of these options offer more security than others, and some are much less expensive than others. Our professionals can help you decide, but here’s a little further insight first…

LoLo Hauling or Lift On/Lift Off

Using a crane, we will safely lift your cargo onto the ship. Once the cargo reaches the port nearest Afghanistan, it will be lifted off the ship in the same manner. This shipping service applies primarily to non-op vehicles and crated heavy equipment.

RoRo Moving or Roll On/Roll Off

Although not all sea ports except cargo shipped through this method of transport, it is the cheapest option available. With this shipping method, the motorized piece of equipment or vehicle is rolled onto and off of the ship using a ramp.

Container Hauling

This method tends to cost a bit more yet it isn’t available to all those shipping heavy equipment. If your heavy cargo fits into the container than you’re likely able to request this method of transport. The walls and ceiling of the container provide the ultimate protection during your cargo’s travels.

Flat Rack Hauling

This shipping method uses what appears to be the frame of a shipping container. Lacking walls or a ceiling, your cargo is secured to the frame for its transport. The frame with your cargo secured, is placed atop the ship for its delivery. Depending on the weather conditions, your cargo may be wrapped and protected by shrink wrap or plastic sheeting.
