You will need to prepare your vehicle for importing. In order to do that, you need to steam clean your vehicle first. This will prevent it from being quarantined and keep your import process on time. If you don't, your vehicle will most likely go into quarantine and then be sent to a cleaning facility so they can steam clean it. Not only will these extra steps take more time but you will be charged for the cleaning as well. You can view the procedure for importing before you begin. You will also need to drain the air conditioning gasses from your vehicle. You can refer to Title 19 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations for further information.

Freight Shipping Methods.

You can choose from two different shipping methods; Roll On/ Roll Off and container. With Roll On/ Roll Off shipping, your vehicle will be driven onto the ships deck and then parked in a bay where it will be fastened down to avoid any complications. Most people will choose this method of shipping because it is the most affordable way of shipping. It is the best and quickest way to ship a vehicle. The ship comes equipped with ramps to assist you in driving the vehicle up on the deck.

Another form of shipping is the container shipping. This method of shipping allows you to drive your vehicle inside either a 20 foot or 40 foot container. Then the remainder of the container can be filled up with your household goods. You can use the additional space for other luggage you want to bring on your trip or move. You can even share a container with someone to split the cost if you have the additional room.
