Required Documentation

When shipping to Laos, you need to prepare a range of different documents for submission to Lao PDR Customs. Of course, this is required for every type of import, so there is nothing surprising here. The documents include:

• Make, model, VIN of the vehicle
• Invoice of purchase
• The year of the vehicle
• Title and Registration
• Bill of lading
• Import permit
• Letter of employment

Now, the majority of the paperwork should be handled by the shipping company. This is documentation such as import licenses as well as other related documentation. However, you still need to be prepared. If you need more information about shipping your vehicle from U.S to Laos, contact the Laos Embassy or call in A1 Auto Transport service.

Shipping Methods

There are two great shipping options that you might want to take advantage of and they include:

• Roll on, Roll off (RORO): This is a convenient and popular option. You have to drive your vehicle on its own wheels on a shipping deck at a freight carrier. It’s going to get fastened and transported as is. You are not allowed to carry any other personal belongings and the car is constantly exposed to the elements of the weather. This is why it’s cheap and quick.
• Container shipping: if you have a valuable vehicle or a lot of personal belongings – you can take advantage of this shipping method for the added convenience and security.
