Military POV shipping Hawaii

If you receive orders to ship out to Hawaii from the mainland U.S., you will most likely want to take your vehicle with you alongside your household goods. Privately owned vehicles, or POVs, can be shipped from the United States to Hawaii using the A1 Auto Transport Service.

Military personnel and their families can use alternate ports approved by the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) for transport. You will need to issue a request to use the alternative port so that your personal shipping office isaware of the incoming vehicle.

Restrictions.

Whether you are in a privately owned or leased vehicle, you will want to have it shipped to the new duty station at the government's expense. You can, however, ship your own POV, but you still need to consult with your sponsor and book an appointment with the transportation office to get clearance. If shipping from another country, you will most likely need to pay for an import duty on a second private vehicle. Your local transportation office can assist you with information on such navigation.

Preparing Your Vehicle For Cargo.

Before you start, you must prepare your vehicle and Have all your documentation ready and available to view at request. Military POV shipping to Hawaii documentation includes:

• Proof of entitlement - bring one copy of your official orders and amendments.
• Show proof of identity - Bring with you a valid government or state-issued ID.
• Show proof of ownership - You can verify your ownership by bringing with your proof of registration, a lien holder authorization letter, or even the title of the vehicle. It must have the service members name on it.
• Please print out and fill out the IAL form and have it ready to hand In.
• Have the lien holders' information so they can be contacted to verify.
• If you have a leased vehicle, you will need to obtain a letter authorizing its exportation.

Prepare your vehicle for shipping by washing it both inside and out to clean it free from debris and take a photo of the vehicle. You will also want the doors, the trunk, and underneath the seats to be cleaned as well. Remember, nothing can be left inside the vehicle, such as a loose video or even the band radios. Any vehicle shipping out of a port in the United States is subject to a search in order to determine that the vehicle is clean, ready for transport, and prepared. Any blemishes will be noted at this time, and you must sign the DD788 Inspection Form. Not all branches will have the same requirements for importing your vehicle.

• Army and Air Force personnel are accepted for shipment as long as they are delivered to the port within three months of the serviceman's department date.
• Navy and Marine Corps personal vehicles, cars, and other items will be accepted when there are at least twelve months remaining on their terms to serve.

Another necessity is the EPA and DOT stickers, which assure the state that the vehicle is compatible with its environmental laws. Do you have more questions about POV shipping to Hawaii? You might want to contact A1 Auto Transport service to learn more about the process.
