Car Shipping Aleppo
Aleppo is the current and acting capital of the Aleppo Governorate which is the most populous in the country. It’s also one of the largest cities right now. Although the situation is volatile and there is a war-like situation going on, still there are requirements for vehicle import especially for diplomats and non-profit organizations.
If you are planning a trip to Aleppo or you are going there for an extended period of time, shipping your car is something that you might want to consider. The country borders the Mediterranean Sea and it has 5 ports which makes it rather easy to ship your car there from the U.S.
Having your own car in Aleppo is going to make traveling in the country a lot easier, more convenient and quicker. The truth is that the prices of cars in Syria are rather high so purchasing a new one there wouldn’t be the wisest choice and importing your own would prove to be beneficial.
