| What can i ship along with my car? You can ship one spare tire, one jack and one wrench. Boxes of personal effects inside your auto should be sent LCL via air or sea. When Customs fills out the inspection report on your auto they will not include the boxes of personal effects in this report. The Shipping Line and the insurance services take a hands off approach to personal effects in that if they are found to be missing at the port of destination. |
| The Shipping Line will not be
held liable for the missing personal effects and the marine insurance you
purchased for your vehicle will not cover your claim for missing personal
effects.
It is the shippers responsibility to make Customs aware of certain high tech gadgets that came with the car eg. navigational equipment or audio equipment that they may not notice. In certain situations where the whole car has been outfitted with expensive audio equipment the equipment should be taken out and shipped separately or the car and equipment should be shipped in a container. Less expensive equipment that you have installed in your auto such as cell phones with their speaker phone attachments should be taken out. When you deliver your vehicle there should be less than a quarter tank
of gas in the tank and your car should be in good shape and not leaking
anything deemed hazardous. All cars leaking gas, motor oil, battery or
radiator fluids will be deemed hazardous and will not be shipped. Extra
gasoline canisters, cases of motor oil, cleaning and polishing solvents
are deemed hazardous and can't be shipped with the car. |
| NON-RUNNING VEHICLE Non-running cars can be shipped overseas using the roro service but they must have the following in order to be accepted by a Shipping Line: good brakes, proper steering and a windshield. Rates will be subject to additional charges added to the shipping rate for the tow-on tow-off services provided by the Shipping Line. These services on average will cost you about $300.00 over the shipping rates. |
