ship motorcycles from USA to Australia & Asia

Here’s what we did to ship motorcycles overseas in a more efficient way:
1. Added more export loading warehouses throughout the USA. This means that we can save money on the pick up cost from the sellers by moving your bike to the closest loading warehouse.
2. Once the motorcycle is delivered to the warehouse it gets crated to prevent any damages during the international transportation. The fuel will be drained and battery disconnected if it hasn’t been already done by the seller.
3. Motorcycle gets loaded inside the intermodal container and sent by rail to the port in Los Angeles. This results in large savings on the shipping cost because the cost of rail is cheaper than cost of trucking plus the customer pays only partial cost based on the space that motorcycle is taking inside the container.
4. Same thing applies to the cost of the ocean freight. By being able to offer “shared container service” to overseas destinations we can offer lower rates to our customers. Once the container with your motorcycle sails from the port in Los Angeles it will go to Hong Kong first and then your bike will be reloaded into another container destined to its final destination. This way of handling the international motorcycle shipping guarantees weekly sailings from USA and improved time of transit.
5. This routing system allows us to service many ports in different countries: Australia and New Zealand, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, plus Southeast Asia: Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam.

We’ve helped hundreds of customers to move motorcycles from USA to the above countries: students, bike collectors, ebay motors sellers & buyers, dealerships, military personnel, etc. We receive a lot of good feedback from the customers regarding the upgraded international motorcycle shipping service. They are very happy with faster transit times, additional protection provided by the motorcycle crate plus, of course, lower costs of overseas bike transportation.

If you have a motorcycle located in USA and you wish to send it to Australia, New Zealand and many of the countries in Asia – let Carex Shipping handle it for you and see the results for yourself.

We usually don’t ask our customers why they want to ship motorcycles overseas from USA – we just try to find the best transport solution and save our customers some money. I must admit, however, that international motorcycle shipping is not without its challenges:

1. International motorcycle shipping can be arranged via roll-on roll-off service. It’s as easy as it can get. Deliver your motorcycle to the port of export, it gets loaded inside the ro/ro ship (specialized vehicle carrier), pick it up at the port overseas. The only problem is that roll-on roll-off service is limited in worldwide coverage and sometimes it won’t be available to your port or country of destination.

2. What about international motorcycle shipping in ocean containers? Well, first of all the motorcycle will need to be crated before it can be loaded inside the container, which is an extra cost. Second of all, it cannot be loaded with other general cargo. Why? Because international motorcycle shipping requires export title clearance from US Customs which takes time. A lot of shipping companies will not want to hold the whole container while US Customs clears the motorcycle for export. The only way to save on the international motorcycle shipping cost is to load it inside the container with other cars or vehicles. It’s a good solution but it’s mostly available to major ports in Europe. Paying for the 20′ container just to ship one bike overseas just doesn’t make sense.

3. International motorcycle shipping via ocean vessels sometimes is just not an option. Many customers think that if there’s a sea port in USA and there’s a sea port at the destination country – there must be an ocean shipping service that can accept their motorcycle for shipping. It’s not always true… Sometimes the ocean shipping route between two international sea ports just doesn’t exist. In this case shipping your motorcycle via airfreight may be the only option. Sure, it’s more expensive but it’ll get the job done and get it done fast.

Our company handled hundreds of motorcycles shipping from USA to overseas destinations. If you’re buying a bike in USA or if you sold your bike on ebay to an overseas buyer – use any of the forms on this site to find out how we can help with international motorcycle shipping.

Then you need to get your bike to the export warehouse of the international motorcycle shipping company or directly to the ocean port. If you live nearby a big ocean port or a major metro hub – you can just drop off your motorcycle yourself. Otherwise, you can use numerous motorcycle transporters or brokers that advertise on internet. Make sure you ask for door-to-door service and mention that the final destination is an export ocean port or warehouse of the overseas transport company. When it comes to international motorcycle shipping some of the truckers don’t wish to go to the ports due to congestions and long waiting lines. Ask the international motorcycle shipping company if they can provide the pick up as most of them have contracts with vehicle transport companies.

Required Documents for International Motorcycle Shipping

• Make sure that you have the original clean title for your motorcycle. By “original” I imply that it has to be the actual paper title issued by your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. By “clean” I imply that it cannot have any unpaid liens from the bank or any other financial company. It is a requirement of the US Customs that all motorized vehicles must be cleared for export prior to vessel departure. And therefore, it applies to international motorcycle shipping as well.

Shipping Option #1: International Motorcycle Shipping in Ocean Container

• Overseas motor cycle shipper can offer 2 options for you to get your bike overseas: ocean container shipping or roll-on roll-off international motorcycle shipping. If you go with ocean container shipping then the overseas transport company will crate and load your motorcycle inside the ocean container most likely with other cargo or cars. This is a cheap and reliable option because the international motorcycle shipping company will only charge you for space that your unit is taking inside the container plus the container will be closed and sealed throughout the overseas trip.

Shipping Option #2: International Motorcycle Shipping via Roll-on Roll-off carrier

• With roll-on roll-off (RO-RO) international motorcycle shipping your bike will be delivered directly to the port and then loaded onto the specialized car carrier vessel. It means that port workers will drive it onto the ship at the port of origin and then drive it off the ship at the port of destination. It won’t be sitting inside a closed container and it’s usually when some of the motorcycle accessories go missing. Ro-Ro service is also limited in the ports coverage so depending on your origin & destination this service may not be available for your route. Plus port will not accept non-running motorcycles for roll-on roll-off shipping service.

Once the ship sails the international motorcycle shipping company will return the original title to you along with their transport bill of lading and instructions on how to pick up your motorcycle at the country of destination. It’s a good idea to contact the overseas agent in advance to confirm the arrival dates and get the paperwork done to speed up the release and delivery process.

Door-to-door motorcycle shipping means your used or new motorcycle will be picked up directly from the “door” of your house, bike dealership, salvage insurance auction, etc. and delivered to the “door” at the point of destination. You don’t have to go anywhere to retrieve it from the motorcycle transport company. It’s different from terminal – to terminal transportation service where you have to drop off and then pick up your motor cycle from the vehicle transport company’s terminals which are usually located near big metro areas.

Next, you get to decide if you want open truck motorcycle shipment, enclosed transport service, or crated shipping.

• Open truck motorcycle transport simply means that your bike will be moved by a regular auto carrier. It will be exposed to the weather during the trip. You may expect that motorcycle shipping is cheaper compared to car shipping because of the smaller size but this is not the case. Vehicle carriers charge per spot on their truck and motorcycle shipping rates are just a bit lower than car shipping rates.
• Enclosed motorcycle transport service means that your bike will be sitting INSIDE the vehicle carrier truck.
• Crated motorcycle freight service involves getting your cycle crated for transpiration and you can do it yourself, buy a pre-made collapsible crate, have your transport company arrange for it or hire a crating warehouse. They are usually used in overseas shipping as it provides a solid protection for your bike during the overseas transport.

Now you need to select a motorcycle transport company. If you’re an AMA member (American Motorcycle Association) they can connect you with their preferred motorcycle shipping companies in USA. A quick search on the internet will bring a number of listings. Most of them will be shipping brokers and not the actual motorcycle transporters. Just make sure they are properly licensed and search Better Business Bureau listings for their ratings. You can also post your shipment on one of the online shipping boards to get multiple offers. Be prepared to provide the origin & destination, approximate departure date, type of motorcycle, and desired motorcycle shipping option. From the day you sign the contract for the motorcycle shipment it will usually take 1.5-2.5 weeks until the actual pick up. Most of the companies cannot guarantee the exact pick up date as it depends on their routes and availability of other cargo. Make sure you get the signed report from the driver when he picks up your motor cycle. Also it’s not a good idea to include any motorcycle accessories, parts or products as the vehicle transport companies are not responsible for objects that are not part of the vehicle. Upon arrival please, inspect your motorcycle and if damage occurred, note all damages on your inspection report, obtain the driver’s signature, and contact your motorcycle shipping company.
