*Prices are for one car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive, and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Exporting a vehicle overseas to any foreign country will present its obstacles. However, many people going to reside or stay a while in a country other than the U.S. will have a personal vehicle sent to the country in which they are going to. This will help them to travel more leisurely once there and to avoid any further language and currency barriers as well.

With the strict laws of North Korea, you may have to have your vehicle delivered to a port in a country nearby. Trying to have a vehicle shipped to North Korea might be too difficult for just anyone. Contacting the Embassy of North Korea will help you become knowledgeable about what needs to be done in order to have a vehicle shipped. They will fill you in on all the most current vehicle shipment requirements.

What Are My Options for Vehicle Shipment?

There are a few ways to have a vehicle shipped over to Korea. Two of these shipment forms are by boat, while one of them is by air. Air shipping tends to be way out of the price range for most people and is, therefore, rarely ever used. Below, you will find descriptions of the other two vehicle shipment methods.

RO/RO shipping is a method of shipment that requires the vehicle to be completely empty except for floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire at the time of its shipment. The vehicle is then driven onto and off of the ship. While this is the least expensive method of vehicle shipment, it is not accepted by all ports. Make sure that there is a port close enough to your new place of residence that accepts this form of shipment.

Container hauling is a method of shipment that will allow the automobile's owner to ship other belongings over with the vehicle. The automobile and the container can both be filled with property. Korean Customs must accept the items. Containers come in two sizes, so select the best to suit your needs. You may also want to consider sharing the container with another individual. This will lessen the cost of shipment.

Here is a list of examples of oversized cargo and heavy equipment we can deliver to North Korea or any other country…

What Kinds of International Transport Services Are Offered at A1?

As previously stated, the type of cargo you’re transporting will determine which carrier methods are available to you. When you call in to speak with a representative, they’ll let you know of your options after you fill them in on the details of your cargo but if you would like to know what all of our overseas shipping options are, here is a list as well as a bit of information about them…

  • Flat Rack Shipping
  • Roll On/Roll Off Shipping
  • Lift On/Lift Off Shipping
  • Container Shipping

The RoRo, LoLo, and flat rack transport methods that we offer are all open-air services. RoRo is the cheapest option overall,, but your heavy equipment or large vehicle must be able to drive onto and off the ship with the help of a ramp. LoLo shipping is for inoperable vehicles and crated equipment that must be lifted onto the boat, while the flat rack is a more secure open-air service. Container shipping is the only enclosed service but it is only available to those with heavy equipment small enough to fit into a 40ft container.
