Cost of Shipping

To ship a motorcycle from the United States to Aruba, duties are calculated by the shipping cost, Insurance and Freight costs (CIF), with the median value at approximately 12%. Our shipping agent will be able to give you an estimate of how much your import will cost in total. You will need to factor in other costs such as:

• Any modification that will be required before your motorcycle can enter into Aruba.
• Any additional service that we offer and you elect to choose, such as door-to-door service or door-to-port.
• Shipping method you opt for
• Custom duties and additional taxes

License and Registration

You can drive in Aruba on a driver’s license issued from the United States. Familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of driving in Aruba so you will be a safe driver. You must register your motorcycle while you are in Aruba on a temporary registration that is good for a minimum of six months.

Documents

When you begin the process of importing your motorcycle, you will need to submit the copy of the following documents to the Aruba Customs Authority:

• Original title of the motorcycle issued in the United States
• Form that shows where you are currently registered, including the city and country.
• Tax ID number issued by the Aruba Tax Department
• Motorcycle registration certificate
• Foreign auto inspection certificate
• Proof of insurance on your motorcycle
• Show proof of ownership of the motorcycle of at least 6 months

Aruba immigration officers stationed at the port of entry will have final authorization for admission to the country. If all admission requirements and documentation is not presented at the time of entry, admission to Aruba can be refused.

Shipping Options

Though we will be of assistance all through the shipping procedure, you will need to decide on the method of shipping that you select for your motorcycle. The method you select will govern the total price of the shipment. When shipping your vehicle to Aruba from the United States, there are three choices:

• Container shipping- Two containers one 20 feet and one 40 feet long will house your motorcycle. Along with your motorcycle you can also store household goods and personal belongings in the container. Your motorcycle will be in safe hands with this shipping option all the way to Aruba. You might want to cage your expensive motorcycle for extra security during transport. Your motorcycle will be transported in a container with other motorcycles if you are only shipping one. Before being shipped it will be created to protect it from harm.
• Roll On/ Roll Off shipping – The motorcycles are allowed to have 1/4 tank of gas, and you need to leave the keys so your motorcycle can be started up and then driven onto/from the deck of the cargo ship using ramps. Once it is parked in the bay, the tires are fixed in the metal protectors and strapped down so that no movement will occur.
• Air shipping: If you are in a hurry to get your motorcycle over to Aruba, this method may be the answer. Keep in mind, this method is the most expensive method of shipping but it is also the quickest.
