We are aware of the import regulations and understand the nuances of transporting vehicles to Panama and can walk you through the different procedures.

Documentation and cost.
We offer a written quote so you are aware of the total cost and can budget accordingly. The shipping cost is based on the insurance, freight charges and value of the vehicle. Additionally, if you select RORO method to ship, the cost will be lower than if you prefer to ship by hiring an exclusive 20 feet or 40 feet container. The difference lies in the way the vehicles are shipped. In RORO, only your car is shipped devoid of any personal belongings. The car is driven on, secured and harnessed on an open deck in a parking bay and transported. You only pay for the car parking.
While in container shipping, you can ship personal belongings and household items along with the vehicle in the same container. However, as this is exclusive and secure transit method, it is more expensive. Add to the freight charges, Custom and excise taxes and steep duties.
As per the current laws, the Custom tax is about 30% of Cost, insurance and freight (CIF) charges. We are with you at every step to ensure that you do not face any issues either at the US port or the port in Panama. Although most vehicles are eligible for import to Panama, you can always look up the Title 19 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. Before you ship, you have to file for intent to ship which is mandatory by U.S Customs. For other important notifications and information, check with the Embassy of Panama in USA.
