Documentation and procedures.
There are some important documents that have to be submitted at the U.S Customs and Border Protection and with the Customs department in Eritrea, including:
- Letter of authority from SABS to import used cars.
- Proof of employment/work permit.
- Passport and driving license.
- Residency permit.
- vehicle title and registration.
- Insurance on the vehicle.
The paperwork is compulsory and all aspects of the procedures have to be completed. It is important that you look up the driving rules and regulations in the country so that there are no run-ins with the law enforcement. Additionally, before the price quote can be provided, you will need to decide whether you want to ship using Roll-on, Roll-Off which is the cheaper option or use closed container shipment for a safer transit.
In RORO, the vehicle is driven on the ship using pre-laid out ramps and parked in the allocated bays. The size and length of the vehicle is considered as you only pay for the parking space on the deck. When it reaches the requisite port in Tanzania, it is driven off the ship. The limitations associated with this method include:
- Disable alarms.
- Only an empty vehicle can be shipped.
- Remove air conditioning gas, personal items.
- Steam clean the interiors.
While in container shipping, you are allowed to ship your personal goods and household items along with the car in the same container. You might want to discuss your budget and requirements with A1 Auto Transport’s representative and then select the best method.
