Q. What documents are
required to export a vehicle overseas?
A. According to the Customs Regulations 19
CFR, persons or entities seeking to export self-propelled
vehicles are required to present to U.S. Customs, at least
3 working days before export, both the vehicle and a document
describing that vehicle. Please, note that this rule applies
to "motorized vehicles designed to be used on land", so by
this token boats, towable trailers, campers, etc. won't require title clearance.
For U.S. Titled Vehicles
the owner must provide a Certificate of Title or a Salvage Title. If vehicle
is leased or a recorded lien exists, the provisional owner
must provide a separate writing from the lien holder which
expressly states that vehicle may be exported. For newly
manufactured vehicles that are purchased from a U.S.
manufacturer, distributor, or dealer a Manufacturer’s
Statement of Origin (MSO) must be provided.
For Foreign-Titled Vehicles
the owner must provide the original document (with an English translation)
that provides satisfactory proof of ownership.
