Process of importing.

If you are planning to export a vehicle to Kuching, you will be required to pay specific customs duties, complete all of the documentation, and go through the formalities before you can get the car in. Furthermore, you would have to be aware of the tropical climate, which is suitable for year-round shipping. However, the rainy months are also heavy with cyclones and hurricanes, which might delay the process. Therefore, it is, without a doubt, better to follow the weather patterns if you want to ensure smooth transit.

Steps before importing the car.

Certain documents will be required to prove ownership and ensure that the export is valid. The documents that are needed at the Customs in the USA and in Malaysia include:

• Ownership proof.
• Purchase bills.
• Clear title and registration.
• Passport of the owner.
• Resident or work permit.
• Insurance policy.

You are advised to pay the VAT in advance as the banks are closed on weekends. You can also contact the Royal Malaysian Customs Department for further information on the import.

You should also be aware of the different restrictions. If you work with reputable and reliable shipping services such as the A1 Auto Transport, all of these considerations would be accounted for on your behalf. When your vehicle arrives in Malaysia, you will need an international driver's license. Additionally, the local insurance and registration will be required.

Things to consider.

You are also going to need to prepare the vehicle before the export. You will need to remove the air conditioning gases and personal items. Only one set of spare keys, spare tire, car jack, and floor mats are allowed if you want to use the RORO method. You would also have to get the car steamed if you're going to prevent prolonged quarantine waiting periods. You can also look at the Title 19 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations to determine whether your vehicle is eligible for the shipping.

You can also go for container shipping, and you must choose between a 20ft and 40ft container. Unlike RORO, you could also ship other personal belongings with this method. For further information, you could contact the Embassy of Malaysia in Washington, D.C.
