International Vehicle Shipping Options
Bulk Carriers
Primarily used for transporting materials like grains, ore, wood chips, and construction goods—not commonly used for vehicle transport.
Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) Ships
Designed for wheeled cargo, vehicles are driven directly onto the ship and secured—no cranes or containers required.
Barges
Used as supplemental transport, barges are often towed behind larger vessels to expand shipping capacity.
Cargo Ships (Container Vessels)
Vehicles are loaded into containers that can be seamlessly transferred to trucks or trains upon arrival, offering added flexibility and protection.
Rules for Preparing Your Vehicle for International Shipping
To ensure smooth international shipping and customs compliance, please follow these essential guidelines:
- All hazardous materials must be removed, including fluids, paints, aerosols, and cleaning supplies
- Ensure antifreeze protection to withstand sub-zero temperatures
- Thoroughly clean the vehicle inside and out, including undercarriage, to eliminate soil, debris, and plant material
- Comply with USDA requirements: the undercarriage must be free of foreign soil to prevent pest importation—steam cleaning is recommended
- Fuel tank must be no more than ¼ full
- Remove license plates and keep them with you
- No personal items may be stored in the vehicle
- Only factory-installed accessories and equipment are allowed

Selecting the Right Shipping Option for Your Vehicle
Whether you're shipping a classic car, motorcycle, motorhome, or travel trailer, we offer tailored solutions to fit your vehicle type, destination, budget, and timeline. Our primary international shipping methods include container shipping, Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO), and air freight.
Shared Container Shipping
Your vehicle is shipped in a container with others, making it a cost-effective option as fees are divided among customers. Although transit times may be slightly longer, it’s suitable even for non-running vehicles.
Dedicated Container Shipping
Your vehicle is the only one in the container, offering quicker delivery and the ability to include additional items. This method costs more but is one of the fastest options next to air freight.
Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO)
Vehicles in good running condition are driven onto the ship, secured, and transported like in a floating garage. RORO offers competitive rates and faster delivery than container shipping.
