How To Ship Your Motorcycle To Or From Burundi

Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• Shipping a motorcycle to Burundi costs from $1470 to around $2,200, depending on the motorcycle's weight and the method of shipment chosen.
• Poor accessibility to the country makes for higher prices for shipments.

Situated in Central and Eastern Africa, Burundi is a landlocked country in the African Great Lakes region. It shares its boundaries with Tanzania, Rwanda, and Congo. If you want to ship a motorcycle from the United States to Burundi, you will need to familiarize yourself with the import requirements and regulations. For example, the documents you will need throughout the process include a copy of the original purchase invoice, registration bike, and a copy of your current passport.

Cost of Hauling to Burundi

You must know the cost of sending your motorbike to Burundi before you begin the process. You will need to know the following information, which will be used to determine how much you will pay:

• Chassis/Engine number
• Cubic capacity
• Year of manufacture
• Brand/Model

Additionally, there are charges for the handling of the motorcycle which is about 4% of the CIF value. There are more taxes and you will need to pay 25% and the VAT is 18%.

Shipping a motorcycle from the USA to Burundi is not an inexpensive venture. You have to consider the fact that Burundi is far from the United States and not easy to access. The transport rate for bikes will depend on the specifics of your shipment. If you plan to move to Burundi, you will benefit from having your own bike with you so you can get around from place to place when you want to.

Shipping a bike is going to take a lot of time and money, so you will need to hire an expert global auto-hauling company, such as our A1 Auto Transport Service.

Delivery Documents

You will need to have the following documents with you when you begin the process of importing your motorbike from the United States:

• Bill of sale
• Motorcycle registration
• Original title of your bike, which includes the chassis number, engine number, cubic capacity, make and model of the motorbike
• Copy of Passport
• Driver’s license
• Bill of Lading
• Social Security Motorcycled
• Signed affidavit giving A1 Auto Transport Service to represent you at the port of exit and the port of entry when needed.

Prior to Hauling

It's important that you speak to our shipping agent to determine the current rules and regulations prior to your scheduled shipping date. They can also arrange for your motorcycle to be picked up at your home and driven to the port for shipping from the United States to Burundi and watch for it to arrive at the port near Burundi.

You will need to prepare your motorbike for shipping, which includes cleaning it and removing all your personal items. If you have any accessories on the exterior of your bike that may fall off during transport, such as a helmet and a saddle bag, you will need to remove them prior to your shipping date. For more information, call us or contact the Burundi Embassy in the USA.

How to Ship a Bike to Burundi

You can ship to Burundi from the United States by choosing one of the two shipping methods: Roll-on/roll-off or container shipping.

• Roll On/ Roll Off, also known as RORO shipping, is the most popular method of shipping because it doesn't cost as much. With this method of shipping, your bike will be shipped by open freight. It will be driven onto the deck of the ship and then braced down for the travel. Once your motorcycle reaches the expected port, it will be driven off the ship and handed over to customs.
• Container shipping is another form of shipping. While this option offers more protection from the weather and elements, using a shared container is affordable. Container shipping allows you to ship personal items with your motorbike at the same time so you can save money in that respect. Thus, whether you are shipping the motorcycle alone or with your household possessions, this works out best.
