Shipping Methods

There are two types of shipment that you can select from container shipping and RORO shipping. If you choose container shipping, a crane will load your vehicle into a 20- or 40-foot container, depending on your needs. In addition to the car, the container can hold other household belongings and personal items that are being shipped to Gdansk. This procedure is more costly than RORO.

However, if you have a fixed budget and just need the vehicle shipped, the vehicle will be driven on and is secured on the deck for the entire length of the journey. Once it reaches the port of Gdansk, it will be driven down the ramp. This is the cheaper choice as you only pay for parking the vehicle, but you are allowed to keep minimum fuel in the tank and remove the air conditioning gas. Additionally, as per law, you cannot keep anything inside the vehicle. Non-adherence to the Polish custom department rules will lead to delay in delivery and even quarantine if the vehicle is not cleaned before dispatch from USA.
