Expert Help Can Take The Stress Out Of Transporting Cars Overseas

By:


It is increasingly common for people to move home and family to other parts of the world, either for a new job or to be nearer far-flung family.

It can be a daunting task to arrange for everything and get the right paperwork, particularly a car or a work vehicle needs to be shifted.

There is an enormous variation from country to country in the formalities for moving cars overseas, even for those who only want to do so for a holiday.

There are also specific requirements for anchoring a vehicle safely in transit and for how much fuel you can leave in it.

To give an idea of how complicated it can be here are illustrations from the regulations from just a couple of countries:

In order to get a Customs clearance for an imported road vehicle to Australia you must hold a valid form VIA (Vehicle Import Approval) for the car and also it is an offence under the MVSA to import, sell or present new or used imported road vehicles to the Australian market for the first time unless those road vehicles meet the National Standards.

As well as the VIA (Vehicle Import Approval) for Australia you also have to comply with its quarantine regulations which include quarantine clearance from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) after the road vehicle has arrived at the port of entry.

Canada also has specific regulations which depend on the country of origin of the vehicle. The car or other vehicle must meet the requirements of the CBSA, Transport Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency before it can be imported.

It is not permitted to import a vehicle that was manufactured to meet the safety standards of a country other than the United States or Canada unless the vehicle is 15 years old or older (excluding buses), a bus manufactured before January 1, 1971 or entering Canada temporarily.

For many people it is also important that their vehicle is protected during transit perhaps because it is a classic, or a luxury model and they want to be sure that there is no risk of theft or damage during transportation.

When considering all the various formalities and documents that need to be collected as well as the mounting costs and the insurance, the most cost effective and least onerous solution can be to use a specialist vehicle transport company that has covered, secure transport, or even where necessary can provide temperature control during transport.

An experienced company offering enclosed transport will handle all the paperwork for the customer including export documents and insurance to ensure that its owner can be confident that their precious possession is kept safe from any harm or theft and will arrive at its destination promptly whether it is for a short period or part of a permanent relocation.
