Ship Motorcycle To Bolivia

How To Ship Your Motorcycle To Or From Bolivia.

Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• It costs around $1300 and $1900 to ship a motorcycle from the U.S to Bolivia using standard ways of freight shipping
• Other costs that need to be budgeted include insurance, door-to-door shipment, and import duties.

Located in central South America, Bolivia is a landlocked country, with varied terrain spanning the rainforest of the Amazon Basin to the Andes Mountains and encompasses the Atacama Desert. It shares its borders with Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Chile.

If you are moving to Bolivia or want to stay for a certain amount of time, you will first need to obtain a specific-purpose visa or Visa de Objeto Determinado. This type of visa gives you the right to enter the country for a particular purpose while you are there and also to apply for residence.

Information on Motorbike Transport.

Since Bolivia is landlocked, you will not be able to ship your motorcycle directly to the country. You will need to direct it to either The Port of Arica or the Port of Iquique, which are both located in Chile. We are A-1 A-T, one of the leaders of the international auto hauling industry, and can help you at every step, from planning to conveyance and helping clear Customs in the U.S. and in Bolivia.

To haul your motorcycle over to Bolivia, you will first need to export it out of a port in the United States. Depending on where you live, there is a port on the east, south, or west coast that will allow exports to Bolivia. And if you need assistance with hauling your vehicle to the closest port or need to have someone claim it at the Customs in Bolivia, we’ll be there. At an additional cost, we offer door-to-door or door-to-terminal services.

Carrier Options.

If you choose our shipping service, we can ship the vehicle by way of door-to-port. You can select your preferred method of shipping. Roll On/ Roll Off is the most often chosen way to send a motorbike but, container shipping is also popular for those who have a motorcycle they want to add a layer of protection for. Our shipping agent will be able to go over all your hauling options and help you determine which one is right for you. If you choose the roll-on/Roll-off carrier method, your motorcycle is driven onto the deck of a ship where it is strapped down and secured for the trip. Certain rules apply if you choose this method of delivery, such as:

• You can only have 1/4 tank of gas in the motorcycle to board the ship.
• You cannot have any extra items on the bike – no gear or helmet.

Essential Documents.

As with all imports, when you ship the motorcycle from the United States to Bolivia, both the U.S. Customs and the Bolivian Customs Department require verifying the ownership and the vehicle that is said to be imported. You will need to gather up the following documents and make several copies to ensure that there is no delay with your import:

• Purchase invoice.
• Proof of insurance.
• Technical Report.
• Registration.
• Certificate of Origin.
• Description of motorcycle.
• Power of Attorney.

Cost of Hauling.

You can expect to pay import duties for importing a motorcycle from the United States to Bolivia but, the amount you pay will be determined by the age of the motorcycle, brand, and model. Total import duty is determined by 50% of the Impuesto al Consumo Específico tax, or I.C.E. Only two motorcycles or vehicles per family are allowed in Bolivia.

When your vehicle arrives in Bolivia, you will need to contact your shipping agent who will then proceed to clear your motorcycle through customs. They will have all the necessary papers to help provide proof that the motorcycle does belong to you. This paperwork will include a document(s) that provides proof that the motorcycle belongs to you. Since the shipping agent is also your power of attorney, they will be able to claim your vehicle.

You will need to provide a copy of your documents to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, our shipping agent who will be handling your import, and the customs in Chile or another country you will be importing your motorcycle to before it reaches Bolivia.
