A combine harvester, known as a ‘combine’, is a large and complex machine used to harvest grain crops. It performs four separate harvest operations – reaping, threshing, gathering, and winnowing – as a single streamlined process.
To successfully harvest crops, a combine should be delivered to your place.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Combine?

Additional expenses: Such as insurance, permits, customs duties, and so on.
Size and Weight: The heavier the combine, the higher the cost.
Season: There are high and low seasons in shipping, and they affect the final cost.
International Shipping of Combines
Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)
It’s a method of shipping where vehicles, like combines, are driven directly onto and off a ship.
Full-Container Load (FCL)
This means the entire container is dedicated to your harvester shipment. It’s a popular choice for shipping combine harvesters due to the protection and control it offers.
Flat Rack
Excellent choice for shipping harvesters, especially those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits.
Air Cargo
The fastest method for transporting harvesters or their parts, but it is high cost.
International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Combines
The rules differ from country to country, but the common ones are:
- Export control (ITAR, EAR, and so on);
