How to Ship a Car to San Cristobal.

RORO- Roll-On Roll-Off Shipping, also referred to as RORO is the simplest way to have your car shipped internationally. The easy method of driving (rolling) a motor vehicle onto the carrier and driving (rolling) it off makes it fast and efficient when loading multiple cars on and off the ship or truck. Millions of cars around the world are shipped via RORO every day of the year and when using RORO you’ll find that your car is not only safe during transport, but it will arrive quickly and cost less than other modes of transport for shipping.

Enclosed Shipping- Enclosed shipping is a more secure type of vehicle shipping that places the car inside of a shipping container during relocation. Many automobile collectors choose enclosed shipping due to the extra security of the car being sealed inside of a large shipping container. While enclosed shipping will cost more than RORO, it is preferred by thousands of people who want to ensure that the investment they have in their car will remain intact as sea water and air cannot reach the car during transport overseas.

When the car arrives for the customs checkpoint, the owner must be present even if the car will be delivered by the transporter to the new home or office location and you will need to pay all taxes for import at the time of the customs inspection. Something that you will need to ensure you have is the paperwork required by customs. Some of the paperwork will include the following documents:

• Commercial Invoice or Sales Invoice.

If denied you will need to have the car exported back to the United States and will have to wait up to one year before you will be able to attempt import again.
