Ship Car To Arasji

Car Shipping Arasji

A scenic settlement on the Aruba Island, Arasji is populated area and extremely popular with tourists. If you are moving to Aruba, having your own vehicle is of advantage. But if you are unfamiliar with the legal procedures and documentation, it can be intimidating unless you work with an experienced shipping service like A1 Auto Transport service. We understand the processes as we ship worldwide and are one of the trusted shipping services. With clear understanding of the import policies in Aruba, we can guide you through the import procedures that start with sending a Letter Of Intent to ship to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. After the custom clearances are given at the U.S port, your vehicle uses either container shipping or RORO method to ship to Arasji.

We advise that if you prefer RORO it is best to strip the vehicle of all personal belongings, clean and fumigate the vehicle before you ship as it will hasten the process of delivery and avoid quarantine in Aruba. As Aruba’s Custom’s department accounts for everything kept within the vehicle, if you fail to declare any of the goods, you will be penalized. However if need additional security and want the vehicle to be protected from tropical rainfall and winds, you can opt for the more expensive container shipping. The vehicle and other personal items are put within a large container usually measuring 20 feet or 40 feet and then secured.
