Before you plan to ship your motorcycle from USA to Chad, it is important to know that there is paperwork to submit, submit valid identification as an owner and pay the requisite taxes and import duties. You need to be aware of the climate in Chad before you ship as delays are common in the rainy season which is from June to September. It may be difficult to drive on the inner roads during these months as storms lead to flooding unpaved roads and they become impossible to traverse. For your own safety, it helps to carry your passport, title deed and driving license with you at all times while in Chad.

Before Shipping

It is important that one of our shipping agents provide you with a written quote, so that you are aware of the total cost. As there are no ports in Chad, we will ensure that it reaches the closes port and is then shipped through road to the destination city in Chad. However, if you are looking to save cost, you can collect the motorcycle and drive it to Chad on your own, though it helps to have professionals handle it for you. If you are shipping by container shipping, before it is put inside along with other motorcycles, you will need to remove the fuel and disconnect the battery. This will ensure higher safety during transit.

The cost of shipping the motorcycle will depend upon the distance from the USA, the weight of the motorcycle apart from freight charges. You can contact The Republic of Chad Embassy or give us call to know about the pricing and regulations.
