Ship Car To Kuala Lumpur

Car Shipping Kuala Lumpur

The most populous city and capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is one of the fastest-growing cities in Asia. It is the financial, cultural, and economic center, as well as the hub of commerce and trade. In recent years, there has been a steady influx of foreigners and expatriates from the West for employment and trade. With the steady increase in tourism and work opportunities, more people have come to Malaysia on a temporary or permanent basis and require a personal vehicle.

Suppose you are exporting a vehicle to Kuala Lumpur. In that case, you must pay the customs duties and complete the documentation and formalities before the car or vehicle is handed over. Additionally, it is essential to know about the weather conditions there. The tropical climate is suitable for shipping throughout the year but only in the rainy months, as the climate is prone to hurricanes and cyclones. This can delay the deliveries. Thus, it is best to know the climate and weather patterns before shipping your vehicle. With new regulations that have made import easier, shipping to Kuala Lumpur has become convenient.

Steps before importing the vehicle.

There are certain essential documents without which transportation would not be possible. These documents are needed at the domestic US port and then at the Kuala Lumpur port:

• Proof of ownership of the vehicle.
• Vehicle purchase bills.
• Clear vehicle title.
• Registration certificate of the vehicle from country of origin.
• Owner’s passport.
• Resident or work permit.
• Vehicle insurance documents.

It is important to prepare in advance to pay the VAT and customs fees, as banks are closed on weekends. You might need to contact Malaysia Customs for more details on importing vehicles to Kuala Lumpur.

It will help you get more information on the restrictions you must take care of. However, when you work with experienced and trustworthy international shipping transporters like A1 Auto Transport Service, we consider these aspects. When your vehicle arrives in Malaysia, you must apply for an International license, local registration, and insurance before you can drive the vehicle around.

Things to consider.

You will need to prep your car before it is transported. You must remove the air conditioning gas and personal items and ensure that only an extra set of keys, spare tire, and jack are in it. If you are planning to use the RORO method, to ensure quick delivery and no quarantine period, then you will need to get the car steam-cleaned. A1 Auto Transport service will not have to move it from quarantine to a cleaning facility before shipping it. You must check with Title 19 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations for eligibility for shipping vehicles. You must drop off the vehicle with the shipping service or at the U.S. port before it can be shipped. However, there are two common methods of shipping, namely:

• RORO: Most customers choose this method as it is more affordable. The cars or vehicles are driven on the ships using ramps and secured for the transit. At the destination port, the cars are driven off.
• Container shipping: You can put your car in a shipping container along with other items, and it is then secured and sealed for transit. Usually, these are 20 feet or 40 feet in size, and though it is slightly more expensive, it is worth it.
