Auto Import Requirements.

You want to be prepared when you call A1 Auto Transport regarding shipping needs by first knowing what your choices are in shipping. There are two methods available for you to choose from- Roll On/ Roll Off method and the container shipping. The container shipping allows your car and all your personal belongings to be placed in a 20 ft. or 40 ft. box and sealed before being lifted onto the deck of the ship for transport. This is the more expensive method of shipping when compared to the RORO method which allows your car to be driven onto the ships deck for transportation and then driven off once it reaches the port.

Another factor in determining your cost of shipment will be the time of year that you ship your vehicle in as well as the size of your vehicle, any insurance you may have purchased in addition to your normal insurance, and whether or not you chose to have your vehicle picked up at your home or whether you drove it down to the port.

Documentation for vehicle import.

To validate and verify the authenticity of the owner and the vehicle, it is essential that the documents are submitted in advance at the U.S Customs and another set at the Colombian Customs. You will need to provide the following information prior to shipping:

• A social security card.
• Driver's license.
• Original title.
• Vehicle registration.
• Power of Attorney, if you need someone else to pick up your vehicle.

As you prepare your vehicle for shipment, other paperwork may be requested. When determining the delivery of your vehicle, you will need to have directions to the major shipping ports close to your location so your vehicle can be delivered to that particular port or to you. Our agent put in charge of handling your import will also help you determine the cost of shipping the vehicle to the port.
