Required documentation.
To ensure that the import is legal and as per the standard procedures, there are documents that need to be submitted to the U.S. Customs before the vehicle leaves the U.S port and at the Comoros Custom department, at the time of clearance. The important documents are:
- Clear title of the vehicle.
- Registration documents.
- Ownership proof.
- Insurance on the vehicle.
- Passport and driving license.
- Residency permit or work visa.
- Receipt of payment of taxes.
As there are multiple ports on the islands, the three main ports include Port of Moroni, Port of Fomboni and Port of Mutsamudu. It is important to keep current with the regulations so you may contact the Embassy of Comoros and know more about the documentation and restrictions that are applicable. The cost of shipping is usually based on the freight charges, price of the vehicle and the insurance.
Processes of Shipping.
As most people have a limited budget when they ship, the commonly used methods include Container shipping and RORO. In Container shipping, you can select from two-sized containers and are allowed to put your vehicle inside the container and can keep any personal items along with it. However, it is essential that you do not keep anything inside that is illegal in Comoros. As the container is sealed, your vehicle and property is protected and that is why it is more expensive method of shipment.
Roll-on, Roll-Off is a comparatively cheaper method of shipping your vehicle. The car or vehicle is driven on board, harnessed in a bay on the deck and driven off at the port at Comoros. It is important that the vehicle is completely clean and empty when it is shipped. Thus, to ensure there are no delays, steam clean the vehicle before shipping and only keep the jack, spare set of keys and tire in the vehicle.
