The export process requires careful attention to detail and understanding of both US and destination country requirements. Here's what you need to know about exporting a vehicle successfully.

Legal Requirements

Before beginning the export process, it's crucial to verify that the vehicle can be legally exported. This means ensuring:

  • The vehicle is fully owned (no outstanding loans)
  • No active liens or legal holds
  • Compliance with destination country regulations

Documentation Needed

Successful vehicle export requires several important documents:

  • Original title with no liens
  • Vehicle export form (7 days before export)
  • Bill of sale
  • Insurance documentation
  • Shipping manifests
  • Destination country import permits

Shipping Preparation

Preparing your vehicle for international shipping requires specific steps:

  • Professional cleaning (required by many countries)
  • Removal of personal items
