| Personal items | Usually not allowed | Sometimes allowed, subject to the rules |

Paperwork comes first
Exports commonly need the original title, proof of ownership and ID, and any lien must be cleared. Requirements change, so we check them against your destination early.
Duties and destination rules
Import duties, taxes and vehicle standards are set by the destination country. Check them before you commit, because some vehicles can't be imported at all.
It depends on the route, the destination's rules and current shipping lines. Tell us the destination and we'll confirm what's possible.
Duties and taxes are normally the owner's responsibility and are set by the destination country. Ask a local customs broker for exact amounts.
