With a new and well-developed road network, Bahrain is a popular place to own a car. Those relocating to the country should consider importing their own vehicle, as Bahrainโs government has made the process particularly easy for Americans โ going as far as to waive customs duty. With a busy port at Manama and frequent departures from the USA, shipping is an easy and economical choice.

Other Types Of Vehicles We Transport To Bahrain
Port of Arrival
The major port in Bahrain is located in the capital city of Manama, a populous metropolis and ideal spot to enter the country. This harbor offers Ro/Ro (roll on/roll off) facilities for auto shipping.
Required Documents For Shipping A Vehicle To Bahrain
Before you can ship a car out of the US, youโll need to obtain a few documents:
- Proof of ownership / original title.
- Consent to ship (if vehicle is under lien)
- Bill of sale.
- Bill of lading.
- Insurance.
Import Regulations
Bahrain permits the relatively easy import of American vehicles โ in fact, vehicles originating in the USA are exempt from tariffs. Note, however, that the country does not allow importation of cars that are more than eight years old. Some paperwork will be required for a quick Customs clearance โ important for avoiding cost delays at the port or elsewhere. Youโll need to submit:
- A Customs Declaration Form
- Traffic Technical Inspection (with included Clearance Certificate)
- Inspection License Plate from the Traffic Department of Manama.
- Export License Plate.
- Vehicle details (prepared by the Customs Port)
- Identification Card.
- Vehicle insurance documents.
- Delivery order.
- Bill of lading.
- Clearance certificate.
Note that vehicles can be collected at the destination only by the owner, or by an authorized representative.
Types of Shipping
Once you have decided to ship your car to Bahrain, youโll next need to decide on the mode of transport. Ro/Ro (roll on/roll off) is the more economical option, in which the vehicle is simply driven onto a ship and then off again at the destination. However, should your vehicle be an antique or otherwise particularly valuable, consider the additional protection offered by container shipping.
Preparing Your Car for Shipping
Proper preparation of the vehicle is necessary to ensure a smooth transportation process. Before shipping/exporting, be sure to:
- Remove all personal belongings from the car.
- Clean it thoroughly, inside and out, to avoid quarantine delays.
- Make note of all dents and scratches along with the shipping representative, and obtain a signed form attesting to the condition of the vehicle.
- Leave only a quarter tank of fuel in the car.
Shipping Of Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo To Bahrain
Transporting heavy equipment and oversized cargo to another country can be done when you hire experienced professional transporters. With the help of A1 Auto Transport you wonโt have to worry about the logistics of the shipping process. We have access to durable, high quality transport equipment and extreme knowledge of foreign import laws. Your heavy equipment is guaranteed to arrive in the nation safe and sound.
Whether itโs farming, industrial, paving or mining equipment, a large vehicle, heavy machinery, or an RV, we have the ability to ship it overseas. There are several ways to ship heavy equipment and oversized cargo. The transport methods youโre able to take advantage of depend on what kind of cargo youโre trying to ship to Bahrain. Typically, any piece of equipment that canโt fit into a 40ft shipping container or of excessive weight is considered as heavy equipment or oversized cargo. When you call in to schedule your international transport, weโll help you make any decisions regarding the transport method and shipping services.
International Transport Methods for Heavy Equipment
Before you call in to A1, weโve figured weโd give you a little run down of the shipping methods we have to offer to those wanting to ship heavy equipment to another country. Of course, the methods and services youโre able to purchase will depend on your cargo. Nevertheless, here are the four overseas transport methods we have availableโฆ
- Flat Rack Shipping
- Lift On/Lift Off (LoLo) Shipping
- Roll On/Roll Off (RoRo) Shipping
- Container Shipping
Some of the transport methods listed are more expensive than others. For example, container shipping is the most expensive way to ship heavy equipment overseas. Since your equipment is placed inside of a container, it is given the ultimate protection from outside elements such as inclement weather conditions.
The cheapest option available is RoRo shipping. This form of transport includes rolling your equipment or vehicle onto the ship and off of the ship so it must be operable to take advantage of this method. LoLo shipping is another inexpensive option that includes lifting your equipment with a crane to place it on the ship as well as to take it off the ship. This shipping method is usually recommended to those with crated equipment or large inoperable vehicles.
