Car Shipping Khartoum
The second largest city in Sudan, Khartoum is also the capital of the Khartoum state. Strategically situated on the confluence of the Blue Nile and the White Nile, it is the major river port for trade and commerce.
The cultural and economic differences can be wide when you move from USA to Sudan. The difference in the quality of transportation and roads is evident and that is one of the reasons that you need to have your own vehicle to faster and easier commuting. The conditions of the roads in Khartoum aren’t exceptional and most of them are unpaved, which necessitates constant maintenance of the car, so consider the expenses.

Sudan’s Motor Vehicle Regulations
There are a lot of taxes associated with shipping a vehicle to Sudan and when you have to register a vehicle, you will need to produce all of the receipts of the paid taxes. Your car will be delivered at the Port Sudan and transported by land over 800 km to reach Khartoum. When you hire A1 Auto Transport to ship your vehicle from U.S to Sudan, they will assist you with the logistics of the move. Additionally, there are going to be documents to submit with the U.S Customs and Border Protection and the Sudanese Customs. The paperwork includes:
- Lien-free title deed.
- Vehicle evaluation report.
- Insurance proof.
- Visa to work/stay in Sudan.
It is essential that the owner of the vehicle is present when the vehicle arrives at the port as there are procedures to complete before the delivery of the vehicle is given. A1 Auto Transport can be of assistance at every step of the way and as we have a strong network of shipping agents all over the world, our agents in Sudan will be with you to assist you.
The total cost of the shipping will depend upon the method of shipping that you select. You have the option of shipping your vehicle by air and ocean bound freights hips. The air shipping is quick but very expensive and that is why most people don’t opt for it. Freight-bound ships utilize two methods of shipping vehicles namely Roll-on/Roll-Off and Container shipping.
If you only have a vehicle to ship and have a budget to follow, it is best to ship by Roll-on/Roll-Off but there are some limitations that have to be complied with. You need to remove all personal items, air conditioning gas, and steam clean the vehicle before you ship it. It is parked in the bay on the ship deck along with other vehicles and is driven on and off the ship using its own wheels, so the vehicle has to be operable if you intend using this method.
The other method is container shipping which turns out to be more expensive as you hire exclusive 20 feet or larger containers and pack all your personal items and the vehicle. It is then sealed and cranes are used to lift and unload the container. To know more about shipping your vehicle to Sudan, you can contact the Embassy of Sudan.
