Car Shipping Banjul

Banjul is the capital city of Gambia and was earlier known as Bathurst. It is Gambia's only port and focal point of administration and economic activities.

It might be business dealings or other personal reasons that might be the reason for your extended stay in Banjul, but it is essential to have your vehicle as public transportation is unreliable. Additionally, there are language and currency barriers that you can avoid when you have your ride.

Working with a company with extensive experience shipping four-wheelers to Africa is essential, as there is plenty of red tape in government agencies. That is why A1 Auto Transport service stands out. We have shipped thousands of vehicles to the Gambia and surrounding countries and network with local shipping agents to ensure quick clearances and delivery. We will help you clean and prepare the vehicle so there is no chance of quarantine or delay at the Gambia Revenue Authority.

Requirement For Vehicle Dispatch

As each country has its requirements, a separate set of laws and regulations must be adhered to. You need to be aware that:

The purchase invoice (original) and log book must accompany the imported vehicle.
Only left-hand drive rides are allowed on the roads.
Import tax is based on the CIF (cost/insurance/ freight charges)
10% government sales tax is applicable.
1% customs tax is mandatory.
Details of the vehicle- VIN, engine/chassis no., model, year.

If you want more information about shipping your ride to the city, contact the Gambia Embassy. They will be able to provide you with the latest information about new changes in the law and applicable taxes.

Paperwork Dealing With Imports

Each vehicle is verified, and ownership proofs are validated before it can leave the U.S. port and enter Banjul in Gambia. This is a standard procedure when you are moving an auto anywhere in the world. The U.S Customs has to be notified about the pending shipment of the vehicle, and it should have the said documents at least 72 hours before the shipment leaves the port. Similarly, Gambian Customs requires the following documents to be submitted at least 5 days before the vehicle arrives at its destination.

Social Security number.
Driver’s License.
Bill of Lading.
Signed Power of Attorney (optional)
Insurance certificate.
Shipping bills/charges.

`If any other documents are needed, A1 Auto Transport service can assist you with the details and help compile them. In addition to overseas auto transfers, we offer door-to-door and door-to-port services. If you cannot drive the vehicle to the nearest port, we’ll come by and pick the car up from your doorstep and haul it to the terminal. However, these are additional costs on the shipping bills.

Transit Option To The City

We want to offer you a free quote, but before that, you must decide whether to transport your vehicle using RORO or Container shipping.

RORO moving has the vehicle rolled on or driven on the ship deck using ramps and is secured on a community auto deck, along with other cars in different parking bays. At the Port of Banjul, it is driven off the ship similarly. However, you are not permitted any personal items in or with the vehicle. Additionally, it has to be steam cleaned, air conditioning gas removed, and only a little fuel in the tank is allowed.
Container shifting is more expensive than RORO but is safer and allows you to move your ride to Banjul with ease. Your vehicle or any other goods that you are moving are put within 20-foot or 40-foot containers. It is then secured and sealed. Cranes are used to load and offload it from the ship.

If you need to know more about the procedure or have questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with A1 Auto Transport service and let us help you.
