Shipping a car to Le Havre, France? Let K International Transport arrange it for you!


Exporting your vehicle from the United States to France can be a headache, but using a Federal Maritime Commission licensed international transport company for cars will make the process much easier. Shipping a car internationally begins with an international car shipping quote for transporting your vehicle to a port in the country of destination (e.g. shipping an Audi A4 to Le Havre, France) once you tell us what vehicle you want to export from the United States and where it will start its trip we can get to work on an overseas car shipping quote for you. 


K International Transport can transport the Audi A4 you've purchased online from the seller's door in the United States to the port of your choosing in Europe. Base ports are the ones most commonly serviced by Roll on / Roll off vessels and include: Antwerp, Belgium; Le Havre, France; Bremerhaven, Germany; and Southampton, United Kingdom.  


K International Transport is a licensed Freight Forwarder and NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier), and acts as the architect of your shipment. We also routinely handle United States export customs clearance for cars. K International Transport will bring to you a rate quotation for shipping your Audi A4 to Le Havre, France, other locations in Europe, or any other port around the world. If our international car shipping quote is to your liking we will guide you through the shipment of your vehicle from its location of origin up to port of discharge, and can even give recommendations for agents at the final destination. If you have concerns about our terms, conditions, or the rate itself, we appreciate feedback and are glad to answer any questions. If you have target rates in mind, providing these can help us negotiate with the carrier for better freight rates.

How to prepare a car for international shipment on a Roll On / Roll Off Vessel

The international shipping process always goes more smoothly when our customers have all the information they need in order to prepare their vehicles and documents before deadlines come too close for comfort. Please take a look at the following list that gives a few pointers to keep in mind when you want to ship a car overseas:


- All vehicles should be delivered with no more than ¼ tank of gas.


- Please make sure the vehicle is clean, free of dirt, and does not have any leaks. The steamship line has the right to refuse cargo not up to its standards of safety.


- If you are shipping your vehicle abroad via roll-on / roll-off overseas car transport service, you must ensure that there are no personal effects left inside the vehicle.


- Having the right insurance coverage is for your benefit in the event of loss or damage to your vehicle while in transit. K International is happy to add either "Total Loss / F.P.A" or "All-Risk" Marine insurance to your quotation.


- Weigh your shipping options carefully. For example, if you plan to ship personal effects to the destination as well, it is likely more economical to ship them together with the vehicle inside a container than shipping them separately.


- Please prepare all required documents required clear your vehicle with United States Export Customs. Documents we will need include the vehicle's original title, notarized bill of sale, and, if your vehicle has a lien on it, a letter from the lien holder on their official stationery authorizing export.
