Q: What does international auto shipping cost?
A: Prices for international auto shipping are determined by vehicle size, origin and final destination.
Q: How long does international auto shipping take?
A: The transit time of an ocean shipment depends on the port of departure and the port of arrival. For example, shipping from the East Coast to Europe generally takes two weeks, whereas shipping from the West Coast to Europe takes four to five weeks.
Vessel sailings are regularly scheduled and we can always provide you with the estimated dates of departure and arrival of our next vessels. However, these dates are estimated and the actual departure or arrival may occur a few days earlier or later than scheduled.
Q: What documents are required to export my vehicle?
A: U.S. Customs requires the original title for each vehicle being exported. The title must either be printed in the name of, or re-assigned to the name of either the shipper or receiver of the vehicle. All of the documents sent to us for US Customs clearing will be returned to you upon completion of the shipment.
If a lien (loan) is held on the vehicle, a letter from the lien holder is required specifically authorizing the shipment of the vehicle to its destination. The letter must reference the year, make, model and VIN (vehicle identification number) of the vehicle, must be printed on the lien holder's letterhead, and must be signed and dated with contact information.
Q: Do I need marine insurance?
A: Optional marine insurance provides coverage against both loss and damages during ocean transit. Uniworld will obtain marine insurance coverage for your shipments upon request (additional charges apply).
Q: Will there be other charges due at the destination port?
A: Apart from duties and taxes, there will be port handling charges upon arrival at the destination port. These charges cover terminal handling/off-loading and documentation fees for your vehicle. Uniworld can provide you with contact information for clearing agents at each destination to prepare you with this information ahead of time.
