Preparing your Motorcycle for Shipment

Your motorcycle is shipped from Miami or New York ports in the United States. To begin the process, your motorcycle will be given a dock receipt and an inspection report which you will need to keep track of throughout this process. Pictures of your motorcycle will also be taken at that time. You will receive an emailed copy of the photos taken for your records. When you work with us, we ensure that Shippers Export Declaration (SED) with U.S. Customs is completed and submitted before the date of shipping from USA.

The crate in which your motorcycle will be shipped is sturdy enough to keep it in place once it is braced and secured down. Size options for the container are flexible based on the number of motorcycles being shipped. To help you get your motorcycle from the United States to Albania, our shipping agent can set up door-to-door courier service as well as alternative shipping options.

Documents Needed to Import a Motorcycle

To import your motorcycle, you will need to have the following documents:

• Copy of the motorcycle title
• Original bill of sale or invoice
• Photo of the motorcycle with the VIN
• Photo of the build date
• Proof of ID such as your driver’s license or passport

Import Options from USA to Albania

When shipping a motorcycle from the United States to Albania, you will have three options to choose from- container, Roll On/ Roll Off, or air. In most cases, air cargo is the best way to ship a motorcycle. When shipping by air, the motorcycle cannot have any gasoline in the tank and the battery will need to be disconnected.

If you choose to use the Roll On/ Roll Off service, you may still elect to have your motorcycle crated where it will be strapped down in a bay on the deck of a ship while in transport. The procedure is quite the same for container shipping. However, your motorcycle will be crated and then placed within the shipping container to minimize movement and damage.
