Shipping your car from the US.

If you don’t have your car prepared you might prepare for delays which might take weeks. Your car is going to be inspected when it arrives in order to ensure the safety and legality of the process. Once you ship the car to the country there are only particular ports that would accept it – the one of Bissau and one of Bolama. You need to use transportation services to reach the inland destination.

Required Documents.

There are a few documents that you’d need and they include:

• Vehicle Export Declaration APX. You have to submit this along with all the export information. You have to submit it to the customs of the US prior to the export date. You can send it with the SED. If you fail to submit it your car won’t be shipped.
• Title of vehicle.
• Copy of your photo ID.
• Social Security Number.

Now, keep in mind that you can fax all of the above but make sure that you do so in a clear and visible manner and ensure both sides of the documents are faxed. The customs regulations require adherence to all requirements before the vehicle can be shipped.

Container shipping: if you plan to use this you would need:

• Provide all of the paperwork such as car title and insurance policy.
• Cars are the last loaded items and they face the doors of the container.
• Hire a flat-bed truck that will raise the car to the entrance of the container.
• The driver you hire would responsible for securing the car in the container.
• Ensure the container door is properly shut and secured.
