Required Documents For Moving
Before you can move out of the US, you’ll need to obtain a few documents:
- Proof of ownership / original title.
- Consent to ship (if the vehicle is under lien)
- Bill of sale.
- Bill of lading.
- Insurance.
Import Regulations
Bahrain permits the relatively easy import of American vehicles – in fact, autos originating in the USA are exempt from tariffs. Note, however, that the country does not allow importations that are more than eight years old. Some paperwork will be required for a quick Customs clearance – important for avoiding cost delays at the port or elsewhere. You’ll need to submit:
- A Customs Declaration Form
- Traffic Technical Inspection (with included Clearance Certificate)
- Inspection License Plate from the Traffic Department of Manama.
- Export License Plate.
- Vehicle details (prepared by the Customs Port)
- Identification Card.
- Insurance documents.
- Delivery order.
- Bill of lading.
- Clearance certificate.
Note that vehicles can be collected at the destination only by the owner, or by an authorized representative.
Types of Delivery
Once you have decided to move, you’ll next need to decide on the mode. Ro/Ro (roll on/roll off) is the more economical option, in which the automobile is simply driven onto a ship and then off again at the destination. However, should it be an antique or otherwise particularly valuable, consider the additional protection offered by the container method. The container option provides an extra layer of security, ensuring that your auto is shielded from any potential damage during its journey. Additionally, hiring a reputable company that specializes in international delivery will greatly simplify the process and provide you with peace of mind knowing that it will reach you safely and efficiently. With experienced professionals handling all the necessary documentation and logistics, you can focus on your journey while the experts take care of getting it to its destination.

Preparing Your Motorcar
Proper preparation is necessary to ensure a smooth process. Before exporting, be sure to:
- Remove all personal belongings from it.
- Clean it thoroughly, inside and out, to avoid quarantine delays.
- Make note of all dents and scratches along with the moving representative, and obtain a signed form attesting to the condition.
- Leave only a quarter tank of fuel in it.
Moving Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo
Hauling to another country can be done when you hire experienced professional haulers. With the help of A1-AT, you won’t have to worry about the logistics of the process. We have access to durable, high-quality equipment and extreme knowledge of foreign import laws. Your tools are guaranteed to arrive in the nation safe and sound.
Whether it’s farming, industrial, paving, or mining equipment, a large auto, heavy machinery, or an RV, we can move it overseas. There are several ways to haul supplies and oversized cargo. The methods you’re able to take advantage of depend on what kind of cargo you’re trying to dispatch. Typically, any piece of tools that can’t fit into a 40ft container or of excessive weight is considered equipment or oversized cargo. When you call in to schedule your international delivery, we’ll help you make any decisions regarding the method and services.
International Methods
Before you call into A1, we’ve figured we’d give you a little run down of the methods we have to offer to those wanting to move to another country. Of course, the methods and services you’re able to purchase will depend on your cargo. Nevertheless, here are the four overseas methods we have available…
- Flat Rack
- Lift On/Lift Off (LoLo)
- Roll On/Roll Off (RoRo)
- Container Shipping
Some of the methods listed are more expensive than others. For example, the container method is the most expensive way. Since it is placed inside a container, it is given the ultimate protection from outside elements such as inclement weather conditions.
The cheapest option available is RoRo. This form includes rolling your supplies or vehicle onto and off of the ship so it must be operable to take advantage of this method. LoLo is another inexpensive option that includes lifting your tools with a crane to place them on it as well as to take them off the yacht. This method is usually recommended for those with crated equipment or large inoperable autos.
