Methods of shipping.

If you are shipping by RORO, it is important to remove any accessory or personal items from within the car before you ship your vehicle. The cars are driven off and on the ship and while it is on the ship, it is secured in place to lower the chances of damage. You will be required to completely clean the car and ensure that the air conditioning gas is removed. You are only allowed to keep a jack, spare tire and floor mats in the car. Otherwise, the car is quarantined and will delay the procedure.

Container shipping is more expensive and has a higher degree of security. Your car along with other household goods is kept within the 20 feet or 40 feet container. However, you are not allowed to keep anything that is considered illegal in the country. Then it is sealed and hoisted on the ship using cranes. At the port of delivery, it is hoisted off the ship. However, this is more expensive.

As regulations keep changing and it is best to connect with the Embassy of Kazakhstan to get the latest details on the import-export laws.
