Classic, Vintage & Collector Car Shipping

Royal Shipping Lines provides reliable and secure international classic car container shipping from the USA to destinations worldwide. Container shipping is one of the preferred methods for transporting classic cars, vintage automobiles, antique vehicles, American muscle cars, luxury vehicles, and rare collector automobiles overseas.

Unlike RoRo shipping, container shipping keeps vehicles inside an enclosed shipping container, providing additional protection from weather and external exposure during ocean transportation. This method is especially suitable for restored classics, high-value collector cars, non-running vehicles, and automobiles requiring careful loading and handling.

Types of Classic & Collector Cars We Ship in Containers

• American Muscle Cars: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Pontiac GTO.

• Classic American Cars: Chevrolet Bel Air, Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac Eldorado, Lincoln Continental, and Ford Thunderbird.

• European Classic Cars: Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz SL, BMW classics, Jaguar E-Type, and vintage Volkswagen models.

• Luxury & Exotic Collector Cars: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and other rare automobiles.

• Antique & Vintage Vehicles: Ford Model T, Ford Model A, early Chevrolet models, and pre-war automobiles.

• Classic Pickup Trucks: Chevrolet C10, Ford F-Series, Dodge Power Wagon, and restored vintage trucks.

20ft & 40ft Classic Car Container Shipping

We offer several container shipping options based on the number of vehicles, their dimensions, and the destination.

• 20ft Private Container: Suitable for shipping one classic car in a dedicated container.

• 40ft Private Container: Ideal for shipping two or more classic cars, depending on vehicle dimensions and loading configuration.

• 40ft High-Cube Container: Provides additional interior height for certain classic vehicles and specialized loading arrangements.

• Shared Container Shipping: Available on selected routes for customers shipping a single classic car without booking an entire container. Departure depends on consolidation space and vessel availability.

Classic Car Loading & Vehicle Protection

Our Miami shipping facility provides professional classic car container loading and securing services. Vehicles are positioned inside the container and secured using appropriate wheel restraints, straps, blocking, and other cargo-securing materials.

We document vehicle condition with photographs during receiving and before container loading. Additional care is taken when handling low-clearance sports cars, restored vehicles, and valuable collector automobiles.

For customers purchasing classic cars from auctions, dealerships, or private sellers, we also coordinate nationwide vehicle pickup using open or enclosed auto transport throughout the continental United States.

Non-Running Classic Car Container Shipping

We accept eligible non-running classic cars and restoration projects for container shipping, subject to loading requirements.

Vehicles that cannot be driven may require a winch, forklift, or specialized loading equipment. Customers must disclose the vehicle's operating condition before scheduling transportation.

Important Classic Car Shipping Requirements

Accurate vehicle dimensions, operating condition, and ownership documents are required before booking. Vehicles must fit within the container's loading and clearance limits.

The vehicle's 12V battery must be disconnected, and fuel levels and other components must comply with applicable carrier safety requirements.

Any spare parts, accessories, or personal items shipped inside the vehicle must be declared in advance. Additional cargo is subject to a $500 surcharge, and a detailed packing list is required. Hazardous materials, liquids, and prohibited cargo are not permitted.

Shipping rates and departure schedules depend on container availability, destination, vehicle specifications, and vessel space.

Whether you need to ship a classic Mustang to Europe, a vintage Porsche to the Middle East, a Chevrolet Corvette to the Caribbean, or a non-running collector car overseas, Royal Shipping Lines provides secure international classic car container shipping with nationwide pickup, professional loading, export documentation, and ocean freight services.

Royal Shipping Lines provides reliable and cost-effective international RoRo classic car shipping from the USA to destinations worldwide. Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) shipping is a practical option for transporting running classic cars, vintage automobiles, antique vehicles, American muscle cars, and collector vehicles overseas.

RoRo vessels are specifically designed to transport vehicles that can be driven directly onto the ship. Classic cars are loaded through the vessel's ramps, parked on designated vehicle decks, and secured for ocean transportation.

RoRo shipping is often a more affordable alternative to private container shipping, particularly for standard-sized classic cars that are fully operational and do not require specialized handling.

Types of Classic & Collector Cars We Ship by RoRo

• American Muscle Cars: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Pontiac GTO, and Plymouth Barracuda.

• Classic American Cars: Chevrolet Bel Air, Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac Eldorado, Lincoln Continental, Ford Thunderbird, and Buick Riviera.

• Antique & Vintage Vehicles: Ford Model A, early Chevrolet models, and other historic automobiles that meet RoRo operating requirements.

• Classic Pickup Trucks: Chevrolet C10, Ford F-Series, Dodge Power Wagon, and restored vintage trucks.

• Classic Sports Cars: Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 356, MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, and other collectible sports cars.

We coordinate RoRo vehicle shipping from major U.S. ports, including Baltimore, Jacksonville, Freeport, and Port Everglades, depending on the destination and available vessel service.

Our services include:

• Open or enclosed inland vehicle transportation to the designated export port.

• Port delivery and vehicle receiving coordination.

• U.S. Customs export documentation and AES filing when required.

• RoRo vessel booking and international ocean freight.

• Vehicle condition photographs and shipping documentation.

RoRo vs. Container Shipping for Classic Cars

RoRo shipping is generally suitable for running classic cars in good mechanical condition that can be safely driven onto and off the vessel.

Container shipping may be a better option for high-value collector vehicles, fully restored show cars, low-clearance sports cars, and automobiles requiring additional protection or specialized loading.

Unlike container shipping, RoRo vehicles are transported on the vessel's vehicle decks rather than inside individual shipping containers.

Important RoRo Classic Car Shipping Requirements

Vehicles must be fully operational, with functioning steering, brakes, and the ability to start and drive safely.

Classic cars with mechanical problems, extremely low ground clearance, excessive fluid leaks, or other conditions that prevent safe vessel loading may not be accepted.

Non-running classic cars are not accepted for standard RoRo shipping. These vehicles must be transported using an approved container shipping arrangement.

All RoRo vehicles must be shipped empty. Personal belongings, loose spare parts, tools, and additional cargo are not permitted inside the vehicle.

Vehicles must also meet applicable carrier safety requirements, including fuel restrictions and battery handling procedures.

RoRo shipping availability depends on the vehicle's dimensions, operating condition, vessel capacity, destination port, and carrier acceptance.

Royal Shipping Lines coordinates RoRo classic car exports to selected destinations throughout Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and the Middle East, subject to available shipping routes and destination import regulations.

• Our Miami Shipping Yard & Warehouse

The recommended delivery location depends on the destination country, shipping method, vehicle specifications, and available vessel service.

For RoRo shipments, eligible running vehicles may be transported directly to the designated port terminal.

Classic Car Pickup, Inspection & Condition Photos

We coordinate vehicle pickup with the assigned inland transportation carrier and arrange collection from the seller or designated pickup location.

Vehicle condition photographs are taken during pickup to document visible exterior condition before transportation. Additional photographs are taken when the vehicle arrives at our Miami shipping facility.

Customers should remove loose personal belongings and disclose any existing damage, mechanical problems, missing components, or special handling requirements before pickup.

Non-Running Classic Car Pickup & Special Handling

We also coordinate inland transportation for eligible non-running classic cars and restoration projects.

Depending on the vehicle's condition, a winch-equipped carrier, flatbed truck, or specialized loading equipment may be required.

Customers must confirm whether the vehicle rolls freely, steers, brakes, and has all four wheels and tires installed.

Vehicles with locked wheels, missing tires, damaged suspension, or extremely low ground clearance may require additional equipment, loading assistance, or transportation charges.

Important Classic Car Transportation Requirements

Accurate vehicle information, including year, make, model, dimensions, operating condition, and pickup location, is required before quoting.

Pickup locations must provide safe access for the assigned vehicle carrier. Residential pickups may require an alternative meeting location if streets, gates, trees, or other restrictions prevent safe truck access.

Auction vehicles must be fully paid for and released before transportation can be scheduled. Applicable gate passes, pickup authorizations, and release instructions must be provided in advance.

Inland transportation is subject to carrier availability, route demand, vehicle condition, and pickup location. Remote locations and specialized enclosed transportation may require additional scheduling time.

Inland carrier insurance is separate from optional marine cargo insurance, which covers eligible ocean freight shipments according to the applicable policy terms.

Vehicles purchased with salvage titles, significant damage, or missing components may be subject to additional shipping restrictions.

For container shipping, the vehicle's 12V battery must be disconnected, and applicable carrier fuel and safety requirements must be followed.

Any spare parts, accessories, or additional cargo placed inside the vehicle must be declared in advance. A $500 additional cargo surcharge applies, and a detailed packing list is required.

Customers should confirm destination import eligibility before purchasing a classic car, as vehicle age restrictions, historic vehicle exemptions, taxes, and registration requirements vary by country.

Our services help private collectors, classic car dealerships, restoration shops, and international buyers arrange overseas vehicle transportation with appropriate protection and handling.

Optional Marine Cargo Insurance for Classic Cars

Royal Shipping Lines offers optional marine cargo insurance for eligible classic and collector vehicles shipped internationally.

Insurance premiums are generally calculated at 1% to 1.5% of the declared vehicle value, subject to a minimum premium and applicable policy terms.

Coverage availability depends on the vehicle's condition, declared value, shipping method, and insurer approval.

Marine cargo insurance is particularly recommended for:

• Restored Classic Cars: Fully restored vintage automobiles and show-quality vehicles.

• American Muscle Cars: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Charger, Pontiac GTO, and other collectible performance cars.

• Luxury Collector Cars: Classic Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, and other premium automobiles.

Marine Insurance Coverage & Limitations

For eligible container shipments handled through our Miami facility, optional marine insurance generally applies from the time the container is sealed in Miami until it is unsealed at the destination, subject to the policy's coverage terms and exclusions.

Marine cargo insurance is separate from inland transportation insurance.

Customers should review the insurance terms before shipping, including applicable deductibles, exclusions, claim procedures, and coverage limits.

Salvage vehicles are not eligible for our optional marine cargo insurance. Other damaged or non-running vehicles may require additional review.

Insurance is not automatically included in the ocean freight rate and must be requested before shipment.

Enclosed Classic Car Transportation

Royal Shipping Lines coordinates enclosed classic car transportation throughout the continental United States for customers shipping valuable automobiles overseas.

Enclosed transportation is recommended for restored classics, luxury vehicles, exotic sports cars, and rare collector automobiles.

Compared with standard open auto transport, enclosed carriers provide additional protection from:

• Road debris and dust.

• Rain and other weather exposure.

• Exterior contamination during highway transportation.

• Direct exposure while traveling on an open vehicle carrier.

Enclosed transportation is especially suitable for vehicles with custom paint finishes, delicate bodywork, low ground clearance, and valuable original components.

Inland carrier insurance is provided under separate transportation arrangements and should not be confused with optional marine cargo coverage.

Private Container Shipping for Valuable Classic Cars

For high-value and rare collector automobiles, private container shipping is generally the recommended international transportation method.

A private container provides an enclosed shipping environment and allows the vehicle to be secured for ocean transportation.

Container shipping is commonly selected for:

• Rare and collectible Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini models.

• Restored American muscle cars and classic Corvettes.

• Vintage Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce automobiles.

• Antique and historic vehicles.

• Low-clearance sports cars and custom-built classics.

• Non-running classic cars and restoration projects.

Shared container shipping may also be available on selected international routes, subject to consolidation space and vehicle eligibility.

Professional Classic Car Container Loading & Securing

Our Miami shipping facility provides vehicle receiving, condition photographs, and professional container loading for eligible classic and collector cars.

Vehicles are positioned inside the container and secured using appropriate wheel restraints, straps, blocking, and other cargo-securing materials.

Special handling arrangements may be required for vehicles with low ground clearance, custom bodywork, oversized tires, or delicate exterior components.

For non-running classic cars, winches, forklifts, or other suitable loading equipment may be used when necessary and approved.

Proper vehicle positioning and securing are important parts of preparing classic automobiles for international ocean transportation.

Classic Car Condition Photos & Shipping Records

Royal Shipping Lines coordinates condition photographs at key stages of the transportation process.

These may include:

• Vehicle Pickup: Photographs documenting visible vehicle condition when collected by the inland carrier.

• Miami Warehouse Receiving: Additional photographs when the vehicle arrives at our shipping facility.

• Before Container Loading: Photographs showing the vehicle's exterior condition before loading.

• Inside the Container: Photographs documenting vehicle positioning and securing before the container is sealed.

These records help document the vehicle's visible condition and may support an insurance claim if damage is reported.

Photographs do not replace insurance coverage or guarantee that all existing damage will be identified.

Important Classic Car Insurance Requirements

Customers requesting marine cargo insurance must provide accurate vehicle information, including:

• Vehicle year, make, and model.

• Vehicle identification number (VIN).

• Declared vehicle value.

• Purchase invoice or supporting valuation documents, when requested.

• Operating condition and any existing damage.

• Shipping method and destination.

The declared value must be accurate and supported by appropriate documentation when required by the insurer.

Customers should also remove loose personal belongings and declare any approved spare parts or accessories being shipped with the vehicle.

For container shipping, the vehicle's 12V battery must be disconnected, and applicable carrier safety requirements must be followed.

The documents required to export a classic or collector vehicle from the USA generally include:

Additional documentation may be required depending on the vehicle's age, ownership history, title status, and destination country.

Original Title & Classic Vehicle Ownership Requirements

Most titled used vehicles exported from the United States require an original certificate of title or other acceptable ownership documentation.

Classic and antique automobiles may have different ownership records depending on the state where the vehicle was registered.

Some older vehicles may have a registration certificate, manufacturer identification number, or alternative ownership documentation instead of a conventional modern vehicle title.

Alternative ownership documents must be reviewed and accepted before export arrangements are confirmed.

Customers should provide a scanned copy of their ownership documents for review before shipping. Original documents must be submitted as instructed for the applicable U.S. Customs export process.

Original titles should not be left inside the vehicle.

U.S. Customs Vehicle Export Clearance

Classic cars, vintage automobiles, and collector vehicles exported from the USA must comply with applicable U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements.

For used self-propelled vehicles, CBP generally requires the vehicle and applicable ownership documents to be presented for export review.

At many export locations, the required vehicle documentation must be submitted at least 72 hours before export, subject to the procedures of the applicable port.

The vehicle identification number and ownership information must match the submitted documentation.

Export clearance requirements apply to eligible classic cars shipped by both container and RoRo ocean freight.

Electronic Export Information (EEI/AES) Filing

Royal Shipping Lines assists with Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing through the Automated Export System (AES) when required.

This filing provides U.S. export authorities with information about the shipment, including:

• Exporter and consignee details.

• Vehicle year, make, and model.

• Vehicle identification number.

• Cargo description and declared value.

• Country of destination.

• Applicable export classification and shipment information.

The filing must be completed according to U.S. export regulations and applicable deadlines.

Classic Car Auction & Dealership Export Documents

Customers purchasing classic cars from auctions, dealerships, and private sellers should confirm that the required ownership documents will be available before arranging international shipment.

We coordinate exports for vehicles purchased through Bring a Trailer, Mecum Auctions, Barrett-Jackson, RM Sotheby's, Gooding Christie's, Bonhams, Cars & Bids, and other U.S. vehicle marketplaces.

Auction and dealership purchases may require:

• Paid purchase invoice.

• Auction lot number or stock number.

• Vehicle release authorization.

• Original title or acceptable ownership documentation.

• Buyer and seller information.

• Lien release, when applicable.

Some auctions and dealerships release vehicle titles separately from the vehicle. Customers should confirm title availability to avoid delays in export clearance.

Classic, Antique & Historic Vehicle Documentation

Vintage and antique automobiles may require additional documentation when their ownership records differ from those of modern vehicles.

This may apply to:

• Pre-war automobiles and early collector vehicles.

• Ford Model T and Ford Model A vehicles.

• Antique cars registered without a conventional title.

• Restored vehicles with replacement engines or modified components.

• Classic cars with older-style serial numbers.

• Historic racing cars and specialty collector vehicles.

Vehicles with missing, altered, or inconsistent identification numbers may require further review and may not be eligible for export until the documentation issues are resolved.

In addition to U.S. export requirements, classic cars must comply with the import regulations of the destination country.

Depending on the country, import requirements may include:

• Vehicle import permits or approvals.

• Historic or collector vehicle eligibility documentation.

• Vehicle age restrictions.

• Emissions and safety compliance.

• Customs duties and import taxes.

• Vehicle registration and inspection requirements.

• Destination customs clearance documents.

Some countries provide special import provisions for qualifying antique, historic, or collector vehicles. However, these exemptions vary by country and are not automatically available for every classic automobile.

Customers must confirm vehicle import eligibility with their destination customs authority or appointed import agent before shipping.

Royal Shipping Lines handles the U.S. export shipping process. Destination customs clearance, import duties, taxes, terminal charges, and local registration are generally handled by the consignee or destination import agent.

Important Classic Car Export Requirements

Before scheduling international shipment, customers should confirm that:

• The vehicle has valid and acceptable ownership documentation.

For container shipping, the vehicle's 12V battery must be disconnected, and applicable carrier safety requirements must be followed.

Incomplete or incorrect documentation may delay vehicle pickup, U.S. Customs clearance, container loading, or vessel departure.

Standard containers have limited door clearance and interior dimensions. Vehicles must fit safely through the container doors and allow sufficient space for loading, positioning, and securing.

Classic pickup trucks, lifted SUVs, oversized vehicles, and modified collector cars may require alternative shipping arrangements.

Low-Clearance Classic & Exotic Car Loading

Many classic sports cars, luxury vehicles, and modified muscle cars have limited ground clearance.

Examples include:

• Chevrolet Corvette and other low-profile American sports cars.

• Lowered Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, and Dodge Challengers.

These vehicles may require specialized loading ramps, additional equipment, or alternative loading arrangements to reduce the risk of contact with the undercarriage or bodywork.

Customers should disclose low ground clearance, front splitters, extended spoilers, custom exhaust systems, and other modifications before booking.

RoRo Classic Car Operating Requirements

Roll-On/Roll-Off shipping is available for eligible running classic cars that meet the ocean carrier's operating and safety requirements.

Vehicles generally must:

• Start and drive under their own power.

• Have functioning steering and brakes.

• Have properly inflated tires.

• Be free of significant fluid leaks.

• Meet the carrier's ground clearance requirements.

• Have no unsecured parts or accessories.

• Be empty of personal belongings and additional cargo.

Non-running classic cars are not accepted for standard RoRo shipping and must be shipped by container, subject to loading approval.

Very low-clearance vehicles, heavily modified automobiles, and certain specialty collector cars may not qualify for RoRo transportation.

Non-Running Classic Car Loading Requirements

We coordinate container shipping for eligible non-running classic cars, antique automobiles, and restoration projects.

Depending on the vehicle's condition, loading may require a winch, forklift, or other suitable equipment.

Customers must confirm whether the vehicle:

• Rolls freely.

• Has functioning steering.

• Has functioning brakes.

• Has all four wheels and tires installed.

• Has locked wheels or damaged suspension.

Loading arrangements depend on vehicle dimensions, weight, operating condition, and available container space.

For high-value classic cars, rare collector vehicles, and fully restored automobiles, private container shipping is generally recommended.

All vehicles shipped in containers must have their 12V battery disconnected before loading. Photographs confirming battery disconnection may be required.

Customers must also comply with applicable carrier fuel limits and safety requirements.

Vehicles must not have significant fuel, oil, coolant, or other fluid leaks.

International Classic Car Shipping Transit Times

Ocean freight transit times vary depending on the departure port, destination, vessel routing, and transshipment requirements.

The following are general planning estimates for selected international regions:

Destination RegionEstimated Ocean TransitCaribbean3–20 daysCentral America7–25 daysNorthern Europe15–35 daysMediterranean Europe20–40 daysSouth America15–45 daysWest Africa20–45 daysNorth Africa20–45 daysMiddle East35–80+ daysEast Africa35–65+ days

These are broad estimates rather than confirmed schedules. Actual transit times depend on the specific port pair and available routing.

Transit time generally begins when the vessel departs the U.S. port and ends when the shipment arrives at the destination port. It does not include inland pickup, vehicle consolidation, export preparation, customs clearance, or destination delivery.

Classic Car RoRo Shipping Schedules

Roll-On/Roll-Off shipping is available for eligible running classic cars on selected international routes.

RoRo vessels generally operate on scheduled services, with departure frequency varying by carrier and destination.

• Weekly Sailings: Available on certain Caribbean and regional routes.

• Biweekly Sailings: Available on selected international services.

• Monthly Sailings: Common on several long-distance RoRo routes.

• Limited or Seasonal Sailings: Some destinations have less frequent departures or restricted vessel capacity.

RoRo shipping is suitable for classic cars that start, drive, steer, and brake properly and meet the ocean carrier's loading requirements.

Non-running classic cars are not accepted for standard RoRo shipping and must be shipped by container.

Vessel space is subject to availability, and advance booking is recommended.

Classic Car Container Shipping Schedules

Container shipping is available for classic, vintage, antique, luxury, and collector vehicles through selected international ocean freight routes.

We offer:

• 20ft Private Containers: Suitable for individual classic cars and collector automobiles.

• 40ft Private Containers: Available for multiple vehicles, depending on dimensions and loading arrangements.

• 40ft High-Cube Containers: Suitable for certain vehicles requiring additional interior height.

• Shared Container Shipping: Available on selected routes, subject to consolidation space and vessel availability.

Private container shipments can be scheduled according to available vessel departures once the vehicle, export documentation, and loading arrangements are ready.

Shared container shipments require sufficient cargo to complete the consolidation before loading and departure.

Shared Container Consolidation & Waiting Times

For customers shipping one classic car in a shared container, departure timing depends on available consolidation space and the number of vehicles awaiting shipment.

Typical consolidation periods may range from 2–3 weeks, with longer waiting periods of approximately 3–4 weeks during peak shipping seasons.

These are estimates only and do not guarantee a specific loading or sailing date.

Customers requiring greater scheduling flexibility may prefer a private 20ft container, depending on the destination and available ocean freight service.

Nationwide Classic Car Pickup & Port Delivery

Royal Shipping Lines coordinates classic car transportation throughout the continental United States, including pickup from auctions, dealerships, restoration shops, private sellers, and collector vehicle storage facilities.

We offer open and enclosed auto transportation to our Miami shipping facility or the designated U.S. export port.

Pickup availability depends on the vehicle's location, operating condition, carrier capacity, and transportation requirements.

Typical inland carrier allocation may take several business days, while remote locations, enclosed transportation, and specialized non-running vehicle pickups may require additional time.

For high-value collector automobiles, enclosed transportation is recommended.

Classic Car Receiving & Export Preparation in Miami

Our Miami shipping facility provides secured vehicle receiving, storage, condition photographs, and professional container loading.

Before a classic car can be exported, the following steps may be required:

• Vehicle pickup and delivery to the export facility.

• Vehicle receiving and condition photographs.

• Original title and ownership document review.

• Electronic Export Information (EEI/AES) filing, when required.

• U.S. Customs vehicle export procedures.

• Container loading and securing, when applicable.

• Vessel booking and terminal delivery.

For used self-propelled vehicles, U.S. Customs generally requires applicable ownership documents to be submitted at least 72 hours before export, subject to the procedures of the departure port.

Incomplete documents or missing vehicle information may delay shipping.

Factors Affecting Classic Car Shipping Schedules

International vessel schedules and transit times may change due to:

• Vessel space and equipment availability.

• Port congestion and terminal operations.

• Weather conditions and ocean transit delays.

• Customs inspections and export documentation.

• Container consolidation requirements.

• Carrier schedule changes and transshipment connections.

• Peak shipping demand and seasonal capacity restrictions.

• Vessel cancellations, booking rollovers, and port omissions.

Booking, loading, and sailing dates cannot be guaranteed until vessel space is confirmed. Even after booking confirmation, carrier schedules may change.

Customers with time-sensitive shipments should request the latest available sailing information before arranging vehicle delivery.

International Classic Car Shipping Rates & Port Selection

Classic car shipping costs depend on several factors, including:

• Origin city, state, or ZIP code.

• U.S. port of loading.

• Vehicle year, make, and model.

• Length, width, height, and weight.

• Running or non-running condition.

• Container or RoRo shipping method.

• Open or enclosed inland transportation.

• Additional loading or handling requirements.

• Optional marine cargo insurance.

The closest U.S. port is not always the most economical option. Available vessel service, inland transportation costs, and ocean freight rates determine the most suitable routing.

Important Destination & Arrival Requirements

Ocean freight arrival dates are estimates and may change during transit.

Destination customs clearance, import duties, taxes, terminal handling, container unloading, and local transportation are generally arranged by the consignee or appointed destination import agent.

Customers should verify vehicle import eligibility, required permits, and destination regulations before shipping.

Classic and antique vehicles may qualify for special import provisions in certain countries, but eligibility must be confirmed with the destination authorities.
