How Long Does it Take to Ship Machinery?
We can tighten up your estimated time frame once we get more specific information from you. When sailing to another country, transit times differ based on whether the departure port is on the West Coast or on the East Coast. It will also depend on how large your machinery is and which shipping method you choose.
What Do You Need to Ship Machinery?
We are not responsible for duty, VAT and tax payments on the machinery that we handle. These payments are solely the responsibility of the owner. Having said that, for machinery that’s manufactured in the U.S. you usually don’t have to pay duty in the destination if they have a certificate of origin. The following are the requirements when making your shipment:
- Permit for the machinery (needed before it arrives at destination port)
- Certificate of origin
- Title/ownership documents
- Bill of sale
- Photo ID
Shipping Machinery: A Look at the Process
We cater to farmers, dealerships, construction companies and private owners when shipping machinery in the United States overseas. Here’s a look at how the process works:
- Get a quote from us.
- Notify us of the type of machinery you have and the dimensions.
- We will then arrange for the machinery to be picked up for delivery at the port.
- We will load the machinery onto the ship, depending on the shipping and loading options chosen.
- Once it is secured, your machinery will set sail.
- At the arrival port, it will be safely unloaded.
- Your machinery will then be delivered to its final destination.
Machinery Shipping Options
Here are the three types of shipping options we offer to get your machinery from the USA to another country.
Containerized Shipping
Machinery measuring less than 28′ by 8.6’ can benefit from containerized shipping when going from the U.S. Your machinery will be fully secured in the container for safe transport.
RORO Shipping
RORO (roll on, roll off) is ideal for machinery. Your machinery will be towed onto the ship and then towed off the ship once at its destination.
Lift on, Lift off
Because many of the types of machinery that we ship are too big for RORO and containerized shipping, we offer LOLO shipping. This is when your machinery is loaded onto the ship using a crane. The machinery is then strapped into position on the deck of the ship. At the destination port, another crane will get your machinery off the ship.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship Machinery?
From the machinery’s dimensions to the shipping option you choose, there are a multitude of factors that contribute to price. Please call us for a free quote to get a more accurate price quote for shipping machinery overseas.
Here are some generalizations to consider:
- Usually, bigger machines cost more to ship.
- The location of the machinery also contributes to cost. We will need to arrange for it to be delivered to the departure port.
- The loading option also contributes to cost. There are additional charges where the lift on, lift off method is used.
- Another factor contributing to cost is the distance between the departure and destination ports.
