Car Shipping San Salvador
El Salvador's capital is the country's most populated city and municipality. It is a cultural, financial, and educational hub, so there is an increasing number of foreigners and expatriates in the country.
If you plan on moving here for a few months or a couple of years, having your vehicle with you can give you the freedom of movement.
However, some many specifications and requirements have to be fulfilled before the vehicle can be imported to the Area. First, it is mandatory to possess an original and clear title. If the car is under a lien, you must present a letter authorizing the vehicle to be shipped abroad.

Motor vehicle regulations.
To export your vehicle to this place, the U.S. Customs will ask you to drop the car off at the pier, where it will likely be shipped out after 72 hours. This time is enough to check the vehicle proficiency and verify the documents. It will give time to the El Salvador Customs to ensure that nothing has been placed in the vehicle after going through an initial inspection.
If you plan to drive to the Area, you might have to reconsider it. The roads between the Southern US and El Salvador are not appropriately maintained, and some junctions are considered quite dangerous. That is why it is best to ship your vehicle by freight shipping with the assistance of A1 Auto Transport Company. You can easily import your car efficiently and safely. You must be present in this country to complete the auto shipment process. You need to be present in the Area, when the vehicle arrives and submit the proper identification upon arrival to clear the customs. These include:

- Title deed.
- Insurance and registration certificate.
- Bill of Lading.
- Invoice of vehicle purchase.
- Passport and photo ID of the owner.
- Permit to import.
- Listed vehicle details- VIN, chassis/engine number, model, and year of manufacture.
The cost of shipping includes the RORO and container shipping methods. If you have an expensive vehicle, it is best to use container shipping, and if you are just shipping the car, RORO works best. You must oversee the process and ensure that A1 Auto Transport service is with you at every step. The company plays a pivotal role in this entire procedure, and we will help you and your car after arriving in the Area.
Costs associated with cargo
El Salvador works on the Central American Tariff Service. The vehicle is considered a commodity, so there is a 13% tax on the car. Other than VAT, you have to pay 30% of your vehicle’s present CIF value, depending on the vehicle's make, year, and model.
Auto conveying
The auto shipping company must be a license holder and bonded through the Federal Maritime Commission. It offers you a greater protective level and ensures that the firm receives a higher licensure level. And A1 AT was stolen from the vehicles, which can be an issue. The cars shipped via container shipping and RORO must be cleaned and have an empty gas tank, as mentioned by the U.S. Customs. You can contact the Embassy of El Salvador to learn more details about cargo in the area.
