Limitations And Restrictions
The rules are stringent and used vehicles or vehicles can only be moved by citizens of Uruguay. They have to apply for import authorization at the Ministry of Finance and then clear the Customs before the vehicle is delivered to the owners. However, even the citizens have to be staying abroad for a minimum of three years and the ride has to be registered for at least 3 years in the owner’s name. However, the regulations for shifting a new car aren’t difficult to meet. However, all autos and vehicles shifted to the country will need to pay customs duty at the port of entry.
Prepping Your Vehicle For Delivery
You start the process by prepping the vehicle to be moved. This includes checking for the eligibility of the vehicle that has to be hauled. At the US port, you will need to submit documents proving that you have a clear title deed or a written statement from the lien holder that the vehicle can be shipped. Additionally, other paperwork has to be completed and submitted including:
- Original bill of purchase with your name as the purchaser
- S Custom clearance on the car title deed and driver’s license
- Vehicle insurance certificate
- Passport of the vehicle owner
- Bill of Lading
- Details of the vehicle- chassis and engine number, model and make
It is best to start the process early so that you can arrange for the different permissions and clearances before the date to ship the vehicle. However, if you have hired the services of A1 Auto Transport service, an experienced international delivery service, we will do it all. We offer a range of services starting from picking your vehicle for delivery to the US port and after being given the authorization letter, we can collect the vehicle in Salto and get the customs cleared.
There are two methods to shift the vehicle to the area apart from air transportation which is out of question as it is exorbitantly expensive. The other two options are namely:
- RORO: This is the cheapest mode of freight hauling wherein the vehicle is driven on the haul deck using ramps at the US port and driven off at the Uruguay port. However, you are not allowed to keep any accessories or personal items while the air conditioning gas needs to be removed. It is important to clean the interiors so that the ride is not quarantined when it reaches the area.
- Container moving: This is a more expensive method as it offers protection to the vehicle and other goods that you are transporting to Salto. The car and goods are sealed within 20 or 40-foot containers and sealed completely. It is protected from pilferage and weather conditions on board the ship during transit.
