Preparing to Ship

• 1). Find the appropriate freight carrier for your vehicle. For international exports this will be either by plane or by ship. You can easily find large freight shipping companies online, such as Transit Systems Inc. or Pakmail.
  
  
• 2). Arrange a pick up or packaging location with the freight company. A customs official will be present at any international ports, otherwise contact your local customs official.
  
  
• 3). Fill out the Vehicle Export Worksheet found on the United States Border Patrol website to turn in to the customs official.
  
  
• 4). Make two copies of the car title. In the case of extremely old cars or salvage cars, you can use the bill of sale, sales invoice, or a Salvage Title. In either case, you will need the original copy plus two copies for the customs official.
  
  
• 5). Present your vehicle, the title, plus copies, and the Vehicle Identification Number to the customs official at least three days (72 hours) before the scheduled shipping date.
  
  
• 6). If the vehicle has been presented to the shipping company before it has been inspected by the customs official, be sure the vehicle is readily accessible.
  
  
• 7). Leave the customs approved vehicle and paperwork with the appropriate freight company official to be packaged and shipped.
