Ways to Ship your Vehicle to Qingdao.

When shipping from the United States to China, you will have four shipping methods to choose from Roll On/ Roll Off shipping and container shipping. Container shipping - This type of shipping places a vehicle securely inside a container. While the vehicle is in the container, it is protected from the elements as well as collisions that could happen while the ship is traveling, while it rarely happens, the possibilities are still there. Once the containers are filled with your vehicle and everything else you plan to take with you, they are then loaded onto the ship and secured for the trip.

Roll On/ Roll Off shipping - With this method of shipping, a vehicle is driven up onto the carrier directly and then strapped down into place. Once the vehicle reaches the port in China, it is driven off. Because this method doesn't require a lot of extra work or space, the cost of transporting using this method is kept down.

Preparing your Vehicle for Shipping.

Before your vehicle can be shipped, you will need to prepare it first. There are a few things that you must do in order to keep your vehicle on schedule, otherwise, it will be quarantined.

• Clean your vehicle inside and out very well. All dust and debris must be removed from the outside body of the vehicle and throughout the interior.
• Car alarms will need to be disabled in order to prevent the battery from being drained.
• Both the foot brakes and electronic breaks will need to be checked to ensure that they are functioning to the fullest compactly.
• The vehicle will need to be completely emptied of any belongings. You will only be able to leave your spare tire and jack inside the vehicle during import.
• Do not leave any ski racks, antennas, and other fixtures that can be detached during import. If they are removable, then remove them.
