Shipping/Exporting your car to Brunei, one of the most decadently beautiful countries off the coast of Borneo, is simple compared to shipping/exporting a car to most other countries. Brunei has trade agreements with many countries and has fewer restrictions than many of the Asian countries surrounding it.
You must hire an auto transporter from the United States to haul your car to the nearest shipping port to have your vehicle loaded and shipped overseas. You’ll need to provide documentation to the auto transport agent when you’re making the shipping plans. These documents include:
- Driver’s License.
- Vehicle Title.
- Vehicle Insurance Certificate.
- Power of Attorney so they can haul your car.
- Social Security Card.
The agent will go over the different types of shipping, the cost of every kind of shipping, and any fees you will need to pay upfront for detailing the car or hauling it to or from the ports of entry or exit. You will also want to know that Brunei has very equatorial weather conditions, and the heat will require that you check and maintain the fluid levels in your car at all times to help prevent breakdowns. Aside from that, you can enjoy driving through Brunei and visiting bordering countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

Required Documents For Moving An Auto
Although Brunei is not extremely strict on importing personal vehicles into the country, you must supply some mandatory documents to customs when the car reaches the country. These documents are as follows:
- Copy of Passport.
- Residence Visa.
- Inventory sheet detailing contents of container (If using a container to ship)
- Letter of Employment.
- Original Bill of Lading (OBL) or Original Air Way Bill (AWB)
- If you’re a Diplomat, you will need your Diplomat Franchise.
- Vehicle Title and Registration.
- Must be physically present for Customs clearance.
- Must pay Customs duties.
You will also need to get approval to import your vehicle from the Controller of Customs. This approval applies to cars, motorcycles, SUVs, buses, and vans and must be obtained before your car is shipped to Brunei. You can contact the Embassy of Brunei in the United States for more information on import regulations and documents you will need when bringing your car into the country.
Before Hauling Your Vehicle
Before your car is even driven to the port of exit, you need to make sure you have a detailed quote that will show exactly what you will pay before the car leaves the U.S. and after it is delivered to Brunei. Your shipping agent will go over all of the details with you on the types of carriers and the cost of pick-up and/or delivery in Brunei.
Depending on how you're importing, you may need to have your car cleaned and ensure that no personal items or paperwork are left in it. You will also want to make sure that you have all of the necessary paperwork filled out for Customs so that clearance, when the car reaches the entry port, will not be delayed. You can contact Customs for more information on documents and paperwork that may be required.
Types of Carrier
You have three choices for shipping your car to Brunei. The most used way to ship overseas is to use Ro-Ro Shipping. Ro-Ro Shipping is the least expensive way to ship a car. It entails simply driving the car onto the ship, securing it into place for overseas travel, and then driving the car off of the ship when it reaches the entry port. You must have your vehicle completely cleaned before loading it onto the ship for transport.
You can also choose to ship via container. Container Shipping allows you to load other items into a container with the car when hauling. If you’re moving to Brunei, using a container and having all of your belongings shipped at one time is recommended.
If you have a very expensive or antique car, you may want to use Air Shipping to bring your car to the country. You can pack personal items in your car when shipping by air, and the car will arrive quickly when flown in. If you choose to ship, you can know that the auto transport company will take care of your car during its hauling and transportation.
When the car arrives in Brunei, be sure to give it a detailed inspection to check for any scratching or dents that can be caused during shipping. These things seldom happen when sending a car overseas, but it is always a good idea to check everything as soon as the car arrives.

- Flat Rack Shipping- Your cargo is secured to a metal frame or flat rack and then placed atop the ship safely. Your equipment or cargo is lifted off the boat the same way.
- Container Shipping is the most protective delivery method, but it is also the most expensive. During the whole transport, your equipment will be safe from possible outside hazards.
