Before You Export the Sedan
When planning to move a car to a foreign country, you must obtain a written quote from the company that includes all totals. On the quote, you need to make sure the port of origin (where your car is leaving from) and the destination of drop-off will be. Since the country is landlocked, there are no ports within the country itself. It would help if you made plans with the company to unload it at the nearest port of entry and have one of their staff drive it into the country for you unless you will meet the ship and pick up it or hire someone else to drive in for you. If you choose to have the company or someone else drive into the country for you, you will have to make sure they have a Power of Attorney warrant to do so.
The country does not have many of the stricter regulations on cars that many countries have, but there are some quirks that you will want to take care of before the car is loaded to move. You will want to make sure that all of your personal belongings are removed from the trunk as well as the interior of the auto and that your car has been cleaned. Depending on your company, you may need to also make sure that all fuel and any flammable materials have been drained from the coupe. The country does not require sedans to be drained of gasoline upon entry, but your company or the carrier may have their own requirements about that. Your agent will be able to go over in detail any rules and regulations that you will have to heed to before moving and they will assist you with details on how to prepare your car for the trip. For more assistance in gathering information as to what is allowed when importing your car and other personal property, you can contact the U.S.
Pricing and Ways of Delivery in the City
Pricing on moving your car to a foreign country will vary depending on several factors. The type of method you choose, the distance from where your car is leaving from to the closest port of entry, and the weight of your car will factor into the pricing. You will also need to determine whether you will pick the vehicle up yourself or hire the company or another individual to pick it up and drive into the country for you. If you have the company deliver it, the delivery cost will be totaled into your final quote before departure.
There are three ways to move your car, and you must decide which is more suitable for your ride and your individual preference. The methods available are:
- Roll On Roll Off (Ro-Ro): Most people choose Ro-Ro when moving their car to another country. With Ro-Ro, cars are driven directly on the carrier ship at the origin point and off at the destination point. This is the simplest and most inexpensive way of moving a car.
- Container: Container is exactly what the name says. It will be moved inside a container on a carrier ship from the United States to the closest port. While a container is a bit more expensive than a Ro-Ro due to having more stability for safety reasons while moving your car, it is a great value when you want to include other items with it. You have an option of a 20ft or a 40ft container and can easily have your wheel and other items moved simultaneously. You can also opt to share a container with another who may be moving it to the same port.
- By Air: Air is the quickest way to move your car. With two International Airports and over ten domestic airports in the country, you can easily have your sedan moved to the area closest to where you are. Air is by far the fastest and easiest way, but it is also the most expensive of the three. Your company can give full details of the cost of air service when you speak to them.
Before you ship your car to Macedonia you will need to obtain and fill out all of the necessary paperwork before you hire the transport company. For a complete list of all forms that will be needed, you can contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency and they can give you all of the information needed to locate forms that will need to be completed to have your car shipped.
Transmitting Of Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo
When moving your heavy equipment and oversized cargo, you’ll want to work with a company with decades of industry experience. At A-1 Auto, we have that experience, from knowledge of the country's import policies (and the U.S.’s export policies) to determination of the vessel needed to accommodate your cargo. The best part is, we aren’t limited to just your cars or large trucks. We move a wide range of freight for a large variety of institutions. Just in recent experience, we have moved some of the following loads: tractors, backhoes, excavators, hydraulic equipment, graders, claimers, cranes, pile drivers, engines, and much, much more.
If you are looking to inquire about a large multi-phase project or about moving your single cargo, we would be happy to help you on the right path. Part of that process is determining the best option for your baggage.
- Lift On/Lift Off transport also known as LoLo shipping is one of the most common forms of transporting freight internationally. A series of cranes at the port are used for the loading and unloading of the cargo to and from the LoLo ship.
- Roll On/Roll Off is also known as RoRo shipping. This is the most inexpensive and simplest way to transport vehicles overseas. Vehicles are driven onto the RORO ship and secured to the deck. Once inside the vessel, it is protected from the wind and rain.
- Flat Rack delivery is also a common form of international transport that is desirable due to its ability to hold large and unwieldy cargo. Your heavy cargo will be secured to a flat rack or open-top container and then placed on top of the vessel. Shrink-wrapping your cargo is an option for added protection
- Container shipping isn’t available for most oversized cargo unless it can fit into a 40-foot container. This is the most expensive and secure form of delivery we have available as it will protect your cargo from the elements while keeping it secure.
