Methods of Freight a Vehicle

• Air freight is a costly method of transporting a vehicle to Zambia. It is usually too expensive for most people, but it remains an option.
• RO/RO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) freight is a method where the vehicle must be driven onto and off the ship. The vehicle must be empty except for a spare tire, a car jack, and floor mats.
• Container freight is slightly more expensive than RO/RO freight. However, it allows the vehicle to be filled with items permitted in Zambia. The container can also be shared with another person to help reduce costs.

These methods are possible ways to import a vehicle from the U.S. to the Area. Considering that there are no seaports in the landlocked country, a person will need to prepare a ride to the place of importation when the vehicle is due for arrival.

South Africa has its own car manufacturers. Because of this, it does not allow used vehicles to be shipped unless they are over 25 years old and considered a classic vehicle. However, if a personal vehicle needs to be shipped, certain documentation will be needed.
