Shipping considerations.
It is important to prepare the vehicle for transportation because here are certain limitations and requirements that have to be fulfilled while the eligibility is checked at Title 19 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. It is important to remove air conditioning gas, clean the vehicle and ensure that there is an only quarter tank of fuel is left in the tank. If you intend shipping by RORO, then you will need to ensure that there are no personal items left in the car. You are only allowed to leave extra keys, car jack, and spare tire.
When you ship by Roll-on/Roll-Of method, it is important to know that you are only charged for the space occupied by the car in the parking bay after it is driven on the deck. That is one of the reasons that it is cheaper than container shipping.
If you have an expensive vehicle, then it is better to ship by container shipping as the vehicle is sealed inside the 20 feet or 40 feet container. You are allowed to keep your household goods within the containers and ship everything together. To get additional information, you can contact Embassy of Malaysia in USA.
