The vehicle must be in clean condition (i.e. free of dirt, mud, oil, grease, etc.) and must have less than one-quarter (1/4) tank of gas when loaded. If shipping via RO/RO vessel (vehicle is rolled on and off the carrier; vehicle is not containerized), the vehicle must be delivered to the port of loading, without cargo and personal effects, at least four (4) business days (but no more than seven (7) business days) prior to sailing date. If the vehicle is containerized, the container may not contain any flammable liquids (other than less than ¼ tank of gasoline in the gas tank of the vehicle), flammable gasses, weapons, gun powder, alcohol, paint, plants, animals, or furniture. At or prior to delivery of the vehicle, you must present the original title or salvage certificate of the vehicle in your name or endorsed to you to secure U.S. Customs export clearance.

We can handle the domestic transport arrangements to and from the port if needed. Unless specifically stated in your quote in which we facilitate the domestic transport of your vehicle to the port of loading, you will be responsible for making arrangements to deliver the vehicle to the port of loading and to secure the vehicle at its destination. If transporting via container, you will be responsible for unloading the container and returning the empty container (with all dunnage removed) to the steamship line at the destination port. Unless otherwise stated in your quote, rates do not include insurance, import customs clearance, duties/VAT and any local charges at destination, including destination terminal handling.

Insurance

We provide two types of insurance coverage for your vehicle:

1. Total Loss: You will be covered for the full amount that you choose to insure for with zero deductible. In the event of the boat sinking, theft of the vehicle at the ports on either end or any permanent loss to the vehicle while in our possession. Note: This does not cover any minor damage. which is calculated as 1.5% of the value you wish to insure.

COST: 3% of the value that you wish to insure the vehicle.

2. Full Coverage: This covers you against the above and any dents or damage or loss to part of the vehicle while in our possession. This does cost more and has a deductible of $500.00.

COST: 4% of the value that you wish to insure the vehicle.

Rates are based on the vehicle specs by the manufacturer. If the actual shipping dimensions exceed the filed dimensions, the rate may increase. All rates are subject to change.

Prepayment in full is a condition of utilizing our services. We accept payment only by money order, wire transfer or certified check. Our rates are based upon today's tariffs and traffic conditions and remain subject to booking. They are also based upon utilizing a first-class steamship line, and if applicable, professional loaders with extensive experience handling vehicles. Our export clearance charges are for presentation of the appropriate paperwork to U.S. Customs. Please note that all charges in connection with any order of U.S. Customs, in particular, unloading for physical inspection or fees because of a "hold" on export clearance, are for the account of the customer.
