The following important information will help you prepare and avoid unnecessary delays:
 
Vehicles must be in operating condition when shipping abroad, with a working emergency brake, and must either be licensed or qualified to be licensed for operation on public streets or highways.  We will not accept cars if these standards are not met.
 
All vehicles must have a clean exterior so that a vehicle inspection may be performed at the port. Dirty vehicles will not be accepted.  Clean cars are necessary because we want to be able to take note of if any preexisting damages on your vehicles.  The ocean carrier cannot ship vehicles with cracked or damaged windshields or windows and must be fixed prior to shipment.


All personal belongings must be removed.  No exception.  The only items acceptable for shipment in your automobile are those tools and accessories normally attached to the vehicle, or permanently installed in the dash, doors, rear deck, or console. If it is not bolted in, you must remove it from your vehicle.  You can choose to leave the car alarm in your vehicle, make sure that the system is disengaged prior to shipment. Fire extinguishers can not be left in the vehicle and must be removed. You will need to have your registration and car information in the glove compartment.

Vehicles with propane tanks for auxillary uses must be delivered for shipment with the propane tanks empty of any liquid or fumes. The empty tank must be tagged and certified as "gas free" by an authorized propane dealer or service company. We recommend that you verify the cost of emptying and certifying propane tanks. It may be less costly to purchase a new tank at your destination.

Please deliver your vehicle to port with 1/4 tank or less fuel.  The port personnel will receive and inspect your vehicle and make sure your vehicle is ready to go to its destination. If you are shipping a vehicle powered by an alternative fuel -propane, electric, natural gas, etc., do let us know and we can make the necessary arrangements.
