Ship Car To Hargeisa

Car Shipping Hargeisa

Hargeisa is both the capital and the largest city of the Republic of Somaliland which is a self-declared state within Somalia, which is internationally recognized. The city is also a commercial and economic hub for stone-cutting, retail and construction services as well as other import and export endeavors.

It is very important to get in touch with the Somalian Customs Department in order to find out what the necessary documents and requirements are prior to beginning the process of shipping. This is due to the fact that they tend to change quite often but they aren’t as strict as those in other African countries.

It’s easy to guess that title, proof of insurance, ownership and vehicle registration are going to be required alongside a passport. There are also rather standard custom duties that have to be cleared. There are four separate ports – Barbera, Mogadishu, Merca and Kismayu which are located alongside the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea which border the country of Somalia.

There are two majorly efficient ways to ship your car to Somalia from the US. Both can be chosen and they depend on the requirements of the owner.

• Container shipping implies that your car would be stored within a private container and you can also ship additional items with your car. This is the more expensive choice but you get great value for your money and you can share the container with someone else to split the costs in half.
• RO/RO shipping is the second choice. It involves your car to be driven on a shipping deck where it would be safely fastened and exposed to the elements. The car has to be entirely clean and you can’t leave anything in it but your spare keys, floor mats, car jack and a spare tire.
