Ship Car To Caracas

Car Shipping Caracas

Santiago de León de Caracas, as popularly known, is Venezuela's capital and largest city. Strategically situated on the banks of the Guaire River with the backdrop of the mountain ranges, it is the hub of economic activities and the political and cultural center of the country. Whether you intend to move to the city for employment or education or are returning to your country, you’ll need a reliable means to get around. However, given the security concerns in Venezuela and the tumultuous political relationship with the USA, getting your ride shipped from the USA to Caracas, Venezuela, can be a task.

Corruption is an issue and can inflate the fees you will have to pay, but it is not as expensive as most people think. There are procedures to import your item duty-free or get an exemption.

We Are Exporting Your Vehicle Duty-Free.

Import regulations only permit the citizens of Venezuela to import new, old, or used machines. For foreigners, they can only import new vehicles. As per legal requirements, there are ways to haul your machine duty-free and exempted from all import and customs taxes. However, you are eligible if:

• As a citizen of Venezuela, you have been away for a minimum of 12 months.
• Motor is in your name for at least 11 months, and have the documents to prove it.
• The car is not valued at over $20,000.
• However, 1% of CIF value is mandatory on all imports.

Ways To Haul Your Motor-Vehicle.

With plenty of harbors in Venezuela and the country’s capital being a major port city, hauling by ocean-bound freight ships isn’t an issue. Here are the two standard methods:

• RORO or Roll-On/Roll-Off Service: This is the most affordable delivery option, and you only need to pay for the space your item occupies on the boat deck. The auto is driven onboard at the local US terminals, harnessed and secured, and then off at its destination. If you want to ship by RORO, several limitations and regulations must be followed.
• Enclosed Container Service: It is a long journey by sea from the local US port to Venezuela. If you want to add a layer of security for your shipment or need to ship household goods alongside the machine, this method might be more expensive but safer.

Whether you plan on using container delivery or by RORO, at A1 Auto Transport Service, we can assist at every step. Additionally, it is important to note that all essential documents must reach the Customs Department of Venezuela at least 3- 5 days before the car arrives, as the customs clearance procedures have to start. You must pay a heavy penalty if your documents do not arrive on time. To browse more about the latest regulations on the import of machines, you can contact the Embassy of Venezuela in the USA.
