The Nuanced Process of Importing a Foreign Car into the United States


Many veterans of international automobile shipping services assume that the process of importing cars into the United States is similar to that of exporting vehicles. However, that is not the case.
 Because of many countries’ heavy restrictions and rigid laws regarding imported items, the process of shipping cargo differs accordingly. American import laws are especially difficult to sidestep.
With the export of cars out of the United States, clients can transport various types of automobiles: vintage, classic, and contemporary cars, as well as trucks and commercial vehicles, are all fair game. However, when importing cars into the United States, clients have to make sure that the particular car was designed for American markets.
This rule comes not from international shipping companies themselves, but is instead a governmental import regulation. It exists to protect American consumers from automobile manufacturing that may be standard in another country, but not in the United States.
Although it seems difficult to remember all the rules and regulations regarding international shipping services, an experienced company will usually take care of the hard part for their clients. 

What Might Go Wrong with International Shipping


When clients seek out international shipping services, expectations are high for a smooth process in which nothing ever goes wrong. Unfortunately, while international shipping is an efficient and safe procedure, sometimes obstacles get in the way.
One such hitch can be a delay in the actual shipment of cargo. This can occur for several reasons: along with the weather, problems with the steamship line, and issues with the specific cargo, a variety of things can slow down the process. Although this can be frustrating for the client, especially if they have a deadline to adhere to, delays don’t happen often and the problems are typically mediated.
Clients can also run into problems with the cargo they attempt to ship. For example, international shipping services often won’t allow clients to transport food, weapons, and perishable items due to customs regulations. However, clients very rarely run into this issue because companies do a good job of advising them regarding their cargo.
Finally, some containers are sometimes randomly selected for searches, which can delay the shipment. Unfortunately, there is no way to get around these searches, but the subsequent delays are normally not very long.
Even though the shipping process can be flawed at times, an experienced international shipping company can mediate the issues at hand, and transport cargo in an efficient and affordable way.
