6. Bill of lading
7. Passport and/or visa

Exporting Methods to Select From

There are several forms that a person can take advantage of. However, two of them are more reliable and cheaper than the others. The air method is only best for landlocked countries and is so expensive that not many can afford it.

The RO/RO method is the least expensive. It requires that the auto can drive onto the ship as well as off of the vessel. The motorcar must be empty with the exception of floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire. This method isn't permitted by all seaports so make sure that there is one close enough to you that is willing to accept the RO/RO method.

The container option is when the vehicle is placed inside a large container aboard a ship. The container and the auto can possess other belongings as long as they are accepted by the country's Customs. When choosing the container method, consider sharing the container with another individual to help ease the costs.

The owner must be present at the time of the arrival at port. A port will not hold a vehicle for the owner so arranging hauling will be necessary.

Explanation of Solutions

One part of that process is determining the type of vessel and option that aligns best with your needs. The dimensions of your freight play a deciding role in how it’ll be hauled. If your item isn’t oversized and not particularly heavy, then moving via a container might be a good route to go. Albeit more expensive than some of the other options it provides unparalleled protection from the elements and criminal activity. If your cargo is self-propelled, then the least expensive option might be best for you. Known as RoRo (Roll On/Roll Off), vehicles roll onto the ship’s ramp, through the hull, and are placed amongst thousands of other operables. Locked into a car deck, this is the simplest method we offer.

If your freight is inoperable, oversized, and/or on a flat rack then a LoLo (Lift On/Lift Off) vessel would be the most ideal form. With the help of a crane operator, your freight is lifted dockside and placed onto the ship. Sometimes a flat rack is necessary when moving stacks of materials or oddly shaped items that need special attention. Acting as an open-walled container, freight can be attached to a multitude of locations on the rack to ensure secure delivery.
