Ways to Ship a Vehicle
Two main methods exist for shipping automobiles leaving the United States to enter another country. These methods aren't nearly as costly as air transportation and are reliable.
The container shifting option is more expensive, allowing the owner to send more than just the car. Two different-sized bins are available. The automobile is loaded into the container. Both the truck and the container have storage capacity. Everything must be cleared for entry into West Africa. You can find out from customs whether or not the goods you plan to send are permitted. Sharing the container with another person is one way to save on shifting costs.
RO/RO hauling is the cheapest method of vehicle shipment. The vehicle must remain empty except for floor mats, a jack, and a spare tire. The automobile is then driven onto and off the ship during import and export. This method is not accepted at all ports.
The vehicle's owner must know the port to which the vehicle will be delivered. When the car is due for arrival, it is essential to arrange a ride to the port. Ports will not hold a vehicle for the owner.
