Company News2024-12-20

At Carhome, we understand the complexity and importance of seamless automotive export shipping. As a frontline player in China's automotive export business, we are committed to providing our customers with a smooth and efficient shipping experience.

The Foundation of Reliable Automotive Export Shipping

Our process begins with meticulous planning. We consider factors such as the origin and destination of the vehicle, the number of vehicles, and any specific handling requirements. Our team of experts works closely with manufacturers and exporters to ensure that all necessary documentation is in order. This includes export licenses, customs declarations, and certificates of origin. Even a small mistake in the paperwork can lead to costly delays and complications, which is why we have a dedicated department to process and review all documents to ensure compliance with Chinese and international regulations.

Shipping Methods: Tailored to Your Needs

We offer a range of shipping options to suit different budgets and timeframes. For those looking for a cost-effective solution, roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping is a popular choice. With RoRo shipping, vehicles are simply driven onto the ship and secured, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of damage. This method is ideal for large volumes of standard passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

On the other hand, container shipping offers additional protection and flexibility. Vehicles can be loaded individually or in groups into 20-foot or 40-foot containers, depending on the size and number of vehicles. This option is particularly suitable for luxury cars, classic cars, or vehicles that require special care and protection during transportation. Our experienced loading team uses high-quality straps, brackets and protective covers to ensure that each vehicle is properly secured and protected in the container.

Route Optimization and Transit Times

We have established extensive partnerships with major shipping companies and logistics providers around the world. This allows us to provide optimized shipping routes that minimize transportation time and costs. Whether your destination is Asia, Africa or the Americas, we can arrange direct or forwarding services to get your vehicles to the final destination as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our real-time tracking system allows you and your customers to monitor the progress of the shipment at every stage, giving you peace of mind and information transparency.

Quality Assurance and Vehicle Protection

Before loading, each vehicle is thoroughly inspected. We check for any pre-existing damage and record it to avoid disputes later. During transportation, our shipping partners adhere to strict safety and handling protocols. For vehicles that are susceptible to extreme weather conditions, we offer temperature-controlled containers. In addition, we offer optional insurance to protect against unexpected events such as accidents, theft, or natural disasters. Our goal is to ensure that your vehicle arrives at its destination in the same condition as when it left the factory.

Customs Clearance and Destination Services

Clearing customs formalities can be a daunting task, especially in a foreign country. Our team has an in-depth understanding of customs regulations and procedures at various destinations. We handle all aspects of customs clearance, from submitting the necessary documentation to paying duties and taxes. Once the vehicle arrives at the destination port, we can also arrange inland transportation, delivery to the dealer or end customer, and any other services such as vehicle registration and certification.
