⏱️ Estimated Transit Time to Bolivia

🛳️ East Coast USA (Miami, Jacksonville, Savannah → Arica / Iquique / Antofagasta → Bolivia): Approximately 25–40 days

🛳️ Gulf Coast USA (Houston, New Orleans → Arica / Iquique / Antofagasta → Bolivia): Approximately 30–45 days

🛳️ West Coast USA (Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle → Arica / Iquique / Antofagasta → Bolivia): Approximately 15–30 days 🚀 Fastest Route

⚠️ Transit times are estimates and may vary based on carrier schedules, routing, port congestion, weather conditions, customs processing, inland trucking availability, and seasonal factors. Shipping method (Container, Flat Rack, Breakbulk, or RoRo where available) may also affect transit times.

👉 Fastest Route: West Coast sailings from Los Angeles, Oakland, and Seattle to Arica, Iquique, and Antofagasta generally provide the quickest transit times for vehicles, containers, machinery, boats, household goods, and commercial cargo shipments to Bolivia. Cargo is then transported inland to major destinations including La Paz, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Cochabamba, and Oruro.

📦 Container Shipping

Container shipping is one of the most secure and versatile ways to ship cargo from the USA to Bolivia. It is ideal for non-running vehicles, motorcycles, golf carts, boats, household goods, auto parts, machinery, and high-value vehicles.

We offer 20ft containers, 40ft containers, and 40ft Non-Operating Reefer (NOR) containers, along with Full Container Load (FCL) and Shared Container Load (LCL) options. Container shipping provides added protection from weather, theft, and damage, making it a preferred solution for luxury vehicles, classic cars, personal belongings, and commercial cargo.

🚗 RoRo (Roll-On/Roll-Off) Shipping

RoRo shipping is a cost-effective option for operational vehicles and wheeled equipment that can be driven directly onto and off the vessel. This method is commonly used for cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, motorcycles, commercial trucks, buses, trailers, motorhomes, and rolling machinery.

RoRo shipping offers fast loading and unloading, making it an efficient choice for vehicle exporters and equipment shippers moving cargo to Bolivia through gateway ports including Arica, Iquique, and Antofagasta.

⚓ Flat Rack Shipping

Flat rack shipping is designed for oversized cargo that cannot fit inside a standard shipping container. This method is commonly used for heavy machinery, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, boats, industrial machinery, and project cargo.

🏗️ Breakbulk & Heavy-Lift Shipping

For oversized, overweight, or out-of-gauge cargo, breakbulk shipping provides a practical solution. This method is often used for large industrial equipment, mining machinery, cranes, generators, boats, and project cargo that exceeds standard container dimensions.

Our logistics team will recommend the most efficient and cost-effective shipping method based on your cargo dimensions, weight, destination, and budget.
