How to Ship Automobiles in Bulk Overseas from the United States


Whether it’s for business or pleasure, many international shipping customers are opting to transport automobiles in bulk to virtually every country in the world. However, those new to international shipping services may be wary about the cost, the process, and the benefits of transporting more than one vehicle overseas at a time.
            Any experienced international shipping company can tell you that the cost of shipping multiple automobiles overseas is reasonable: transporting several vehicles separately would be a much greater burden on a client’s wallet than getting job done at once. For this service, you are paying for the container to store your autos, the trip overseas, and the separate services offered by the company.
            So what exactly is the process for transporting multiple vehicles overseas? Many would be surprised to learn that it isn’t much different than any other shipment. First, the customer has to obtain and pass on multiple documents and fees to their shipping company. These include an original title for every vehicle, identification for the shipper as well as the consignee, prepayment in full, and more depending on the specific requirements of the country they are shipping to. Once everything is received by the company, the shipment is booked depending on the customer’s desired shipping date. Once the container with the automobiles arrives, the company can help you take care of unloading, as well as customs clearance.
            With a company’s international automobile shipping services, the benefits of transporting in bulk outweigh the pitfalls. With a reasonable cost, a company that takes care of the stressful aspects of international shipping, and possible financial benefits to overseas shipping for the client, the process is smooth and advantageous. 

International Shipping Services for those Studying Abroad or Moving Overseas


No matter whether a client is permanently moving overseas or temporarily living abroad for a program like Study Abroad, international shipping services can help them make the transition easier.
            If studying abroad, the student from an American university temporarily moves overseas to a country of their choosing in Europe, South America, Africa, or Asia from as long as 6 months to a year. In this case, a trustworthy international shipping company can help the client have a quick and easy transition abroad. For these types of moves, companies often help students transport clothing, furniture, and other personal effects with Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) services. LCL helped ensure that the client’s shipping process is quick, affordable, and efficient.
            For those moving overseas permanently, a shipping company can offer a full twenty foot, forty foot, or forty-five foot container depending on the cargo in question. This usually includes a greater amount of personal effects, like clothing and furniture, as well as an automobile or two. With a container, a customer can load an automobile as well as any personal effects, to the full capacity of the container. A company can also offer roll-on/roll-off shipping (ro/ro) for the automobile and any wheeled cargo.
            With reliable international container shipping services, the customer will also receive help with customs clearance in the destination country, as well as help with export formalities in the United States port, whether it be in New York, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, or California. Overseas shipping doesn’t have to be a hassle!
