Shipping Motorcycles To Colombia

How To Ship Your Motorcycle To Or From Colombia

Typical Dispatching Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• The freight charges for shipping a bike to Columbia from the USA are $1,300 to $3,000.
• The most preferred method of transporting a motorbike is in a shared container, as that is the most affordable option

Columbia is located in South America, while some of its territories are in Central America. It shares its borders with Venezuela, Panama, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil. Geographically, the country encapsulates the Pacific and Caribbean coastlines, tropical grasslands, and Amazonian rainforests.

Documentation

If you plan to travel around Colombia on your bike or just need it to commute to work or study, transporting it from the USA seems the best solution. It is important to consider the fact that used vehicles and two-wheelers are not allowed in the countryside. Additionally, you must have an importation license before you can move a vehicle here. To get the permit to import and clear the Colombian Customs Department and the United States Customs, you are required to submit documents including:

• Motorbike title deed
• Registration documents- VIN, year, make, and model details
• Bill of sale
• Purchase invoice

It is important to note that the information on the documents is the same as on the entry license that you need to ship your bike here. However, you must have a delivery license before shipping your motorcycle from the USA to Colombia. Another key aspect to consider is that you should not consider putting your cruiser as part of the household goods if you plan on moving to the Colombian Republic for a long stay. It is essential to know all about its regulations on sedan interchange so that cargo imports have no delays or seizures, apart from paying fines and fees.

Temporary Import

It is legal to bring a ride with a U.S. registration here for tourism or transit purposes. You cannot just ride your bike into its cities without first obtaining a temporary entry license. You must have SOAT or compulsory auto insurance even though this import permit will be issued at the border. You can drive to Medellín once you have completed and authenticated the temporary import permission. In addition to the form, you must attach copies of your title deed registration papers, owner passport, and Bill of Lading. The Ministry of Transport is a good resource for additional details.

Registration of Cross-border Bike

It is important to submit a lot of paperwork to register your motorbike at the local transport office. These are:

• Import declaration
• Purchase invoice
• SOAT Certificate
• Receipt of paid taxes

It is cheaper to register a bike than a car, so ensure you have all the required documents. You might want to talk with us or contact the Colombian Consulate for updates on the latest import laws and duties.
