Important Documents

Now, if you want to get your vehicle imported to Karakol, there are quite a few different things that you have to take into account.

The documents that you need to submit include:

Before You Ship

Before you ship out the car, you might want to get a free quote by A-1 Auto Transport. This is going to allow you to know how much money you will have to spend for the entire thing. The agent that you work with is going to help you prepare the car for the shipping depending on the transportation method that you choose. Speaking of which, you have to choose between two methods:

• RORO Shipping – this is going to guarantee that the car is driven to the freight carrier, secured in place and shipped off as it is. This is the most affordable sea-bound method and that’s why most people prefer it. However, there are some limitations that have to be considered including only shipping an empty vehicle.
• Container shipping – this is the better way to go if you are prepared to pay for it. You can store additional personal belongings with the car. You can pick a 20 feet or 40 feet container depending upon a number of goods you need to send along with your car. It will be safely protected within the container.
