How to Ship a Motorcycle to Burundi

You can ship to Burundi from the United States by choosing one of the two shipping methods: Roll On/ Roll Off and container shipping.

• Roll On/ Roll Off, also known as RORO shipping is the most chosen method of shipping because it doesn't cost as much to ship this way. With this method of shipping, your motorcycle will be shipped by an 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 then 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, it is affordable when you use a shared container. Container shipping allows you to ship personal items with your motorcycle 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.
