Cars and Motorcycles Shipping Services Across The Country

Flatbed

Open trailers with a basic platform used for securing and hauling cargo

Open Carrier

Open, multi-vehicle trailers are commonly used for cost-effective transportation of several cars or motorcycles at once. Best for standard vehicles not requiring special protection

Enclosed Trailer

A fully covered trailer provides maximum protection from weather, dust, and road debris. Typically used for high-value vehicles and can accommodate one or multiple vehicles, depending on size

Requirements to Import a Car into the United States

For vehicles younger than 25 years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates compliance with US emission standards

Vehicles below 25 years of age must comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) standards, encompassing safety, bumper, and anti-theft requirements

Acquiring a car from abroad that meets all these criteria is only possible if the automobile was initially designed for the US market

Cars produced for the US will feature a manufacturer’s certification label near the driver’s side door, explicitly indicating the vehicle’s compliance with US standards

25-Year Import Law

The 25-year import law allows the importation of cars older than 25 years without requiring adherence to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
Eligibility for importation under this law essentially requires two things:

The vehicle must be over 25 years old
The vehicle must have the original engine or an engine that is EPA-certified

NOTE: Some states, such as California, have particular requirements to operate a car on public roads and highways.

US Customs Clearance Process

After importing your vehicle into the US, it must undergo clearance through US customs.

The customs office evaluates your documents for discrepancies, errors, and negligence. Suppose the customs officer feels insufficient effort was made to provide clear, high-quality scans of the vehicle’s paperwork. In that case, they may request a comprehensive review, potentially leading to a customs examination.

Sometimes, even illegible handwriting may prompt the customs officer to flag your vehicle for an exam, resulting in a more thorough evaluation of your documents and vehicle.

US Vehicle Registration

When importing a car into the US, we recommend submitting the original foreign title and a bill of sale.

If a title is included, it will be stamped by US customs upon import approval.

However, if no physical title is provided and only an electronic record of the import entry exists, this may cause issues when registering the vehicle at your local DMV.

Although DMV requirements for registering an imported car differ by state, the DMV office typically necessitates the original foreign title, the original import documentation stamped by US customs, and the bill of sale.

Costs of Importing Cars to the US

Importing Vehicles to the United States from Overseas Involves Several Costs

Essential expenses for import cars include:

Domestic Shipping
Open or enclosed transport to any destination within the United States or Canada

Export Declaration
Documentation submitted to the export country’s governing body indicating the vehicle’s departure

Export Charges
Loading and transport fees

Booking Cost
Payment for air freight booking

Customs Exams
Potential random customs examinations upon departure and arrival in the US

Import Duties
Typically 2.5% of cargo value, except for pickup trucks, which are taxed at 25% due to the Chicken Tax. Duties apply even if taxes were paid overseas. Duty drawbacks may be possible if the vehicle is imported for sale and exported from the US

MPF (Merchandise Processing Fee)
Charged on all US imports at 0.3464% of the cargo value, with a minimum of $27.75 and a maximum of $538.40

US Customs Bond
A non-refundable bond purchased to cover potential risks. Instead of a hefty deposit, importers typically buy a bond for a single car or multiple years

Insurance
Optional coverage for the vehicle during shipping

Unloading Charges
Fees for unloading the vehicle from the container or crate at our warehouse

Numerous charges are associated with importing vehicles, such as meeting NHTSA, DOT, EPA, and DMV requirements. We simplify the process by offering a comprehensive door-to-door service, covering most costs.
