Key Considerations For Dispatching

You must establish ownership of your ride so that the Belize Customs and Excise Department can verify the import/export. You will need to have an international driver’s license as well as a passport with photo ID. All documents for authenticating your identity and ownership claims must be vetted in advance of the departure from the US and before the arrival of your bike in the area. Additional documents that are needed include:

• VIN and other details on the purchase invoice
• Original title deed and registration documents about the said vehicle
• Multiple copies of the original documents
• Insurance policy
• Bill of Lading

Note: You will need to make several copies of these documents before you start the process.

Cost To Move

With any international moving, there are associated costs such as hauling duties and other taxes. In Belize, the motorcycles are taxed as per the engine capacity. Two-wheelers with engine capacity under 50cc's are taxed at 14.75% and those with engine capacity of over 50 cc pay a tax of 37.25%. Additionally, there are a few factors that you will need to consider when determining how much it will cost to import. You will need to consider freight charges, insurance, hauling method, door-to-door service, and more when considering the total cost of cargo.

Process Of Moving

When it comes to insurance, you will need to buy insurance from the Insurance Corporation of the area. However, after you have received the immigration clearances, you will receive the delivery permit for the two-wheeler.

You will need to go to immigration have your passport stamped and obtain a vehicle permit. Once your passport has been approved by immigration, you will then proceed to customs and begin the paperwork to import your ride. This is when you will need to have all the copies of your original documents. Your motorcycle will need to be inspected before it can be boarded. Once you have all the forms filled out, and an inspection certificate, you will be issued a permit slip. You will need to keep up with this slip and all other documents to dispatch to Belize. Be sure to check your insurance coverage and if necessary, purchase additional insurance to have enough. Shifting can take 10-15 days in total, depending on the weather.

Options Of Delivery

Shipping methods include roll-on/Roll-off and container shifting. Container moving is the best way to haul your bike. If you are only sending your motorcycle, you can opt for a shared container, wherein your ride can be put in a crate and moved along with others.

However, if you do not want the added cost of creating the vehicle, you can then choose to haul then Roll-On/Roll-Off shipping. If you choose this method of delivery, you will need to prep the two-wheeler for import by keeping only 1/4 tank of gas in the gas tank and have no personal items including helmets or saddlebags on the two-wheeler. The battery will be disconnected to ensure that there is no threat of fire during transit.
