What Information Will I Need to Ship My Car Overseas?

So you've received a car shipping price and want to know what is next. The next step, in order to smoothly ship a car overseas, is to begin gathering all the necessary documents and pieces of information you will need during the shipping process:

1.                  Full name, address, and contact phone number of the shipper in the United States.  The shipper is the person who receives the primary benefit from the shipment of the vehicle; in many cases this is the owner of the vehicle at the time it is shipped.

2.                  Full name, address and contact phone number of the consignee (recipient) at destination.  This must be an address in the destination country; you may use name of shipper with a c/o address at destination.

3.                  Title Number and State of issue of vehicle’s original title. Vehicle Identification Number for Shipper’s Export Declaration purposes. The Original Title is necessary for export customs clearance. Some states require further documents, like a notarized bill of sale.


4.                  Vehicles with liens on them may not be exported. If the vehicle at one point had a lien, we must present U.S. Customs with a notarized Lien Release Letter on the Lien-holder's stationery.

4.                  If shipper is an individual, copy of a picture I.D. of shipper.

5.                  If shipper is an individual you can apply for an individual EIN number. You can do this by visiting www.irs.gov/businesses/small and selecting “Employer ID Numbers (EIN).”  Social security numbers are no longer accepted for shipments by individuals. If shipper is a company, the Tax ID number of the company would be used. This is required by U.S. law for us to complete shipper’s export declaration (SED).  These numbers will be kept confidential and will only be used as required to ship your items. The Shipper's Export Declaration is only used for United States Census statistics.


The above should give you a head start for shipping automobiles internationally, and expedite the shipping process. If you have skipped ahead and haven't received a car shipping quote yet, please visit or rate request page, and we will catch you up. You can also send an email to inquiries@kinternational.com or give us a call (212) 267-6400. 

Bought a New Vacation Home in the Caribbean? Shocked at the Price of Furniture?

Unless you are lucky enough to live in one of the warmer areas of the United States such as Miami or Las Vegas, the chilly winter months can leave you a little blue.  But for those of us not willing to make the big move to the Pina Colada laden shores of Miami Beach, the next best option is to purchase a vacation home to run to during the winter months.  The easiest location for USA snowbirds to run to for a warm, blissful weekend to recharge is the Caribbean.  With several options for vacation homes in the Dominican Republic, Aruba, Panama, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos or any other Caribbean island, there is no longer a reason to endure the long, cold winter months.  

Imagine leaving the cold behind and spending your winter weekends on the shores of the Caribbean...

Now that we convinced you this is a great idea and you have purchased your brand new vacation home or condo, did you realize you either need furniture or you aren't very happy with the furniture provided?  Okay, no problem, so you figured you would simply walk to the closest furniture store and see how much a new bed would cost.  As you walk into "Pina Colada Tim's Furniture Store" your mouth instantly hits the floor when you realize the price of a queen sized bed.  "Man!" you think to yourself, "I have a great bedroom set at home that would look perfect here.  And how about that mahogany chest collecting dust in the attic... that would look perfect in the living room!"  

Folks, as the great reggae legend Bob Marley once said, "don't worry be happy!"  I will tell you how K International Transport provides superior international shipping services to the Caribbean, Central America and all other vacation home destinations and can help you ship your furniture to your new home.  


There are essentially two ways in which we can send your furniture to your new vacation home overseas:

• International Container Shipping Services - we can position a 20' or 40' shipping container at your home, loading dock or place of business.  You are given approximately 2 hours to load your furniture inside the container.  Once loading commences, we will deliver your container to the port for international shipping to the Caribbean, Central America or wherever your international vacation home is located.

• Less Than Container Load (LCL) Consolidation and Small Package Shipping Services - only looking to send that small mahogany chest or other smaller piece of furniture to your vacation home in the Caribbean?  We offer inexpensive container consolidation shipping services.  When we ship your furniture using LCL services, your items are loaded inside a container with other items all headed to the same destination.  Instead of paying full price for an entire container that will be mostly empty, you will only pay for the fraction of the container space you occupy.  This is a cheap and simple way to ship your furniture to your new vacation or destination home in the Caribbean or other sunny destination.

Now that your furniture has arrived at your new vacation home, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy a refreshing drink

So, whether you are shipping a dining room set, living room furniture, bedroom furniture or just a small mahogany chest, K International Transport can help you ship your furniture to your new Caribbean vacation home.  Have an extra car and wish you could bring it with you to your vacation home?  Ask us about our overseas car shipping services to the Caribbean or other vacation home destinations.  Feel at home in your new vacation home, let K International assist with shipping your furniture and car to your new destination.


For more information on our furniture international shipping services email us at inquiries@kinternational. com or by telephone: 212-267-6400.  We are also available on Skype: kinternationalny.  Visit our rates request pages to receive furniture and car international shipping quotes.

This is a Story of When Harry Came Home and Told Sally....We're Moving to Sweden

Every smart husband knows...happy wife, happy life.  And every husband who has ever had to move their family abroad knows the difficulties it brings when they have to inform their spouse of their new change in scenery.  Although we do not employ certified marriage counselors here at K International Transport, we figured the below story could help your spouse cope with moving abroad and see how using reliable international shipping companies can help ease your move overseas:

Meet Harry and Sally, a fun loving NYC couple.  Harry and Sally enjoyed the city life, visiting the museum, riding in yellow cabs, shopping at Macy's and climbing the Empire State Building.

One day, Harry came home with some big news. "First, I just got a promotion!  You can now add to your shoe closet.  Second...we're moving abroad...and you will have a brand new beautiful shoe closet...in Sweden!"

Sally wasn't too happy...not even the prospect of new shoes could cheer her up.

After Sally yelled certain things we are not permitted to repeat...the first thing that came to her mind is who will help us ship our car and our furniture overseas! We need a reliable automobile shipping company to help ship our car to our new home!  That's when Harry and Sally came to K International Transport.  First, we asked Harry and Sally what they wanted to ship abroad....their answers didn't surprise us too much...

Sally wanted to ship her pink corvette....this was no problem!  We offer the best international car shipping rates from the United States to Sweden and all other destinations.

Harry wanted to ship his...moped...not as exciting as Sally's Corvette...but we can easily ship a moped internationally without a problem!

Next, Sally and Harry mentioned they needed to bring the changing table for baby Johnny, the pink princess bedroom set for Lizzie, dining room set, litter box for Fluffly, living room furniture, bathroom sink, bicycles, books and their lawn mower. We told them not to fear, on their day of moving we would bring the shipping container to their house for them to load all their furniture, appliances and other important items.

Sally, Harry and little princess Lizzie started packing all of their belongings for their big move overseas.

Once their furniture and all household items were packed, K International was there with their container for loading.  Their cars were already picked up and delivered to port for ro/ro transport to Sweden.  Now their container with their house items and furniture was on its way to Sweden too.

Harry and Sally's item arrived safely, and they were surprised at how easy international shipping and moving could be.  Today Harry and Sally are still a happy, fun-loving couple enjoying the sites and sounds of Stockholm, Sweden.  Little Lizzie's pink bedroom set and Fluffy's cat litter box arrived safe and sound and without a problem.

Are you a couple moving overseas?  Looking for the same success story Harry and Sally experienced with their international shipping company?  Look no further than K International Transport.  Email or call us for international car shipping rates and container shipping rates.  Our email: inquiries@kinternational.com and by telephone 212-267-6400.  We also receive messages on Skype at: kinternationalny

Remain happy and married in your new home abroad, pick K International Transport to handle your international car shipping and moving needs.

International Shipping Companies - In Depth: Shipper's Export Declaration (Part 4)

There are many ways to ship a Lexus overseas (about as many for shipping an Audi internationally), but one thing all of these shipments have in common is that your vehicle won't ever leave the United States without obtaining an AES ITN (that's Automated Export System Internal Transaction Number, for the laypeople out there). If you definitely want to ship a Mercedes to Saudi Arabia, you need to file a Shipper's Export Declaration to get that AES ITN. K International Transport is able to file this on your behalf, taking the burden of export customs compliance of your shoulders.

In this final segment, I will cover the "Commodity Information" section of the Shipper's Export Declaration. There are sections I have not covered, but they are generally optional or not applicable to most shipments our customers send. 

• Commodity Information - This section is going to be comprised of various information about what it is your are shipping.
• Schedule B number
• Schedule B numbers are the classification system used by the United States government to categorize exports for census statistics. These numbers are based upon the broader Harmonized System that is an internationally standard system that also lends itself to United States Harmonized Tariff Schedule used by the U.S. for determining import duties. Identical goods should have identical Schedule B and Harmonized Schedule numbers only up to 6 digits (Schedule B numbers have 10 digits)
• If you are unsure of what number to use, K International is happy to advise the correct one
• Qty (only for some Schedule B numbers)
• For every schedule B number that requires a quantity, the quantity used is generally the one used by the industry dealing in that commodity. Common quantity types include net kilograms (56 kgs), number of units (2 Airplanes), and liters (6 liters of Vanilla Flavoring).
• Gross Weight
• Commercial Value
• Origin (F - Foreign, D - Domestic)
• This can be tricky to determine at times, especially when a product is assembled in one country, but from parts manufactured in many others.
• License code
• For some types of commodities the Bureau of Industry and Security require specific licenses to be obtained prior to export. To this end, depending on the type of goods, an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and Export License Number may be required as well.
• Used Vehicle? Y/N
• If the answer to this is yes, then one must also enter the VIN # (or product ID where applicable), Title Number and State that issued Title

This concludes the run-down of commonly required information for the Shipper's Export Declaration. However, in certain cases more extensive information is required, which is why K International Transport is available to file the Shipper's Export Declaration on your behalf, and prevent any costly mistakes in compliance.

Shipping to Boma and Stressed Out With All the Requirements?

When shipping your car or construction equipment overseas it is important to always check with the foreign country of import for all requirements.  Oftentimes, we can easily ship your car from the United States but then you might run into problems on the other side when you car reaches.   Are you looking to ship your car or construction equipment to Boma?  Frustrated with all the import requirements or unsure what documentation you need? As one of the best automobile shipping companies with service to Boma, K International knows what you need to ship your car to Boma and Matadi without delay.  

Due to customs regulations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the following documentation must be prepared before you can ship your car or other goods from the United States to Boma:

• Commercial Invoice / Bill of Sale - the commercial invoice or bill of sale will help identify the value of your cargo.  You will also need a copy of this for customs clearance in DR Congo.
• Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (FERI) (CTN) - one of the most common reasons for delay in shipping to Boma is missing CTN numbers.  Several steamship lines will not load your cargo on-board their vessel without the cargo tracking note number.  The  CTN is an additional cost separate from the international car shipping costs.  We can help our customers obtain the CTN for all cargo.
• Packing list - if you are shipping a container with furniture and other items from  your house to Boma you will need to provide a complete packing list detailing what is going inside your container.

Roll On / Roll Off Shipping - What is it? Why do it?

There are a variety of international shipping methods, each having different strengths depending on what cargo you are shipping overseas. One of the methods that is growing fastest in capacity and popularity is Roll On / Roll Off shipping. These ships have built in ramps that make them particularly suited for shipping cars overseas; the cars can easily be rolled on and rolled off the vessel at the port. The vessels are large and box-like, and the automobiles are driven onto the ship and kept in specially designed holds under the deck, with many features to make carrying many cars, trucks, and other wheeled equipment as efficient and safe as possible. One of these features is extensive fire safety systems.


The main distinction between Roll On / Roll Off vessels and other cargo ships is how cargo is moved on and off the ship. Most other vessels are deemed lift on / lift off because they require use of a crane to take cargo over the side of the ship. When car-makers move inventory between continents, they use Roll On / Roll Off Vessels.


K International Transport has been shipping cars for 2 decades, and even has been referenced by the New York Times in relation to our international car shipping services. Please do not hesitate contact us for more information!

In 2011 the Camaro even earned the illustrious title as the "Most Popular Sports Car" on Facebook with over 2.7 million fans and counting.  Think about all the fans you can earn when you are spotted driving in Dubai with your new Chevy Camaro.  In the past few years we have shipped several Chevrolet Camaro's and we have the expertise to handle your precious cargo.  When looking to ship your Camaro overseas trust one of the best automobile shipping companies in the United States, K International!

When looking to ship your Camaro overseas consider the three options you have for international car shipping services:

1. Roll-On / Roll-Off Shipping - the steamship line drives your Camaro under the deck of a car carrier vessel and safely secures your car.  Ro/Ro international car shipping is the least expensive way to ship your Camaro and this service is available to several destinations around the world.

Ocean Container Shipping - this method is one of the most popular ways we ship Camaro's.  One of our licensed and professional warehouses specializing in loading automobiles into containers, loads your Camaro into its own container for overseas car shipping.  Only your car will go in the container and you do not have to worry about any other person touching your car during its international shipping transit.  Automobile container shipping service is also available to more destinations than ro/ro shipping.
3. Airfreight Shipping - we have had customers with custom-made Camaros, and usually they mean business.  Air shipping is the fastest way to ship your Camaro overseas.  Airfreight shipping for your car is available to all major airports around the world.

International Shipping Companies - In Depth: Shipper's Export Declaration (Part 3)

Shipping a car overseas can seem overwhelming at first, but can be made much easier by relying on an experienced international shipping company like K International Transport for guidance. One step of the process many individuals looking to ship a car internationally are unfamiliar with is the Shipper's Export Declaration. In this series I will go through and explain the the Shipper's Export Declaration, so the Automated Export System (AES) is no longer a scary term.

This part of this series covers the "Freight Forwarder" and "Intermediate Consignee Information" sections of the shipper's export declaration that must be filed if you want to obtain an AES Internal Transaction Number (ITN), which is required if you want to transport a car overseas.

• Freight Forwarder Information - A Freight Forwarder is an entity that organizes shipments. Akin to a travel agent for international cargo. K International Transport is a licensed freight forwarder.
• Name of Company
• EIN Number
• Employer Identification Number
• Contact Name
• Contact Phone
• Address
• Intermediate Consignee Information -Generally the information of the Consignee's agent at Port of Discharge. There are times when there is no intermediate consignee. This agent sometimes will claim, customs clear, and deliver the cargo to the ultimate consignee.
• Name of Company
• Contact Name
• Contact Phone
• Address

While at first glance it may not appear to be all the helpful, but knowing what information your freight forwarder needs in order to file the Shipper's Export Declaration will expedite the process of shipping cars internationally.

International Shipping Companies - In Depth: Shipper's Export Declaration (Part 2)

United States Export regulations can be on of the trickier parts of shipping your car overseas. For nearly all exports, the United States government requires a Shipper's Export Declaration to be filed prior to export. K International Transport can file the SED on your behalf, making international car shipping much smoother for you. In this series I will go through and explain the common pieces of information required to fill out a Shipper's Export Declaration, so the Automated Export System (AES) is less of a mystery. Please note that even if you intend to ship LCL internationally, it is likely still required to file an SED.


In this part of this series, I will cover the "USPPI Information" and "Ultimate Consignee Information" sections of the shipper's export declaration that must be filed if you want to obtain an AES Internal Transaction Number (ITN), which is required if you want to ship your car internationally.


USPPI Information

• United States Principal Party in Interest is generally the seller, owner or manufacturer. If a foreign entity is in the U.S. when they buy the goods for export, they could also be the USPPI
• Name of Company 
• Company or individual's name
• EIN Number - Employer Identification Number
• When exporting, you must apply for an EIN if you are an individual. The process is very short, and K International can guide you through it.
• If you are a non-U.S. passport holder, you may simply use that non-U.S. passport number instead of obtaining an EIN
• Contact Name
• Contact Phone
• Cargo origin
• Simply the physical location the items being declared began their shipment. If you are exporting a car and you just bought it from a dealership, then that would be the place of origin. If you are shipping your possessions from your residence, then it would be your residence. 

Ultimate Consignee Information

• The Ultimate Consignee is generally the party that will end up with the goods in the destination, such as the buyer, or you are moving, then this would simply be your name again.
• Name of Company
• Company or individual's name
• Contact Name
• Contact Phone
• Address
• This address must be an address in the country of destination

International Shipping Companies - In Depth: Shipper's export Declaration (Part 1)

When you ship your car overseas, one of the first areas of concern is how to comply with United States Export regulations. For any export valued at over $2,500.00 per schedule B number (the number assigned to exports based on what they are), the U.S. government requires that you file a Shipper's Export Declaration. As a licensed Freight Forwarder, K International Transport can file the SED on your behalf, making international car shipping that much easier for you. K International Transport is an international shipping company that is ready to listen to your concerns, and guide you through shipping your car overseas.


In this part of this series, I will cover the "General Shipment Information" section of the shipper's export declaration that must be filed if you want to ship your car internationally.

• General Shipment info
  
• Departure Date 
• Must be filed ~48 hours before departure date to avoid any difficulties
• Booking Number 
• Referred to as Transportation Reference Number
• Origin State 
• Where the cargo begins its trip
• Country of Destination
• Export Port
• Mode of Transportation 
• For International Automobile Shipping, options generally are: VESSEL; VESSEL, CONTAINERIZED; AIR
• Carrier SCAC 
• Standard Carrier Alpha Code, a unique four-digit code used to identify transportation companies
• Vessel name
• Routed Transaction?  (Y/N)
  
• A routed transaction is when the Foreign Principal Party in Interest is the one who authorized the Forwarder (e.g. K International Transport) to file the SED, and not the United States Principal Party in Interest
• Are USPPI (shipper) and Consignee Related?  (Y/N)
  
• For example if someone is relocating overseas and shipping their furniture and/or car to themselves, the answer to this would be YES.
• Hazardous?  (Y/N) 

If you are interested in discussing international LCL shipping costs, please do not hesitate to contact us either, as a Shipper's Export Declaration is also required. For an international car shipping cost, please visit our rate request page, send an email to inquiries@kinternational.com, or call us at (212) 267-6400. We are also available via Skype at kinternationalny.

International Car Shipping Cost to the Middle East

K International Transport gets rate requests from many people looking to ship cars to the Middle East. Some of these requests come from buyers located in the Middle East, who want to purchase classic cars in the United States, and have them shipped to places like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai, Iraq, Lebanon, and Egypt. Other times the requests come from United States service members who have been stationed in the Middle East, and want to ship their car internationally to their assignment location.


Overseas car shipping by container is the more secure option, but is less economical than overseas car shipping via Roll On / Roll Off service. We can ship your car to Saudi Arabia, for example to a few different ports. Jeddah and Dammam are common ports for Roll On / Roll Off service, for example.


We are able to offer costs of shipping your car to the Middle East using either Roll On / Roll Off service, or containerized shipping. For any international car shipping quotes, please visit our rate request page. If you have any specific questions, please give us a call at (212) 267-6400 or send us an email at inquiries@kinternational.com. Alternatively, you can skype us at kinternationalny.
