I’m shipping a car out of the country. Are there any specific regulations for international shipping that I need to know about before I do?

One thing that is very important about international car shipping is that when a car is shipped abroad, it has to be in good running condition before it can be loaded for transporting. If your car is not, it will remain on the loading dock until it is working. Keep in mind that you may incur additional costs for storage.
International car shipping is more expensive and the regulations for are very different from shipping domestically. No personal items can be inside the car with the exception of car-installed equipment. Car keys have to be left in the car. Keep in mind that, loading your car is on a first come, first served basis because of time constraints and tight schedules that the international car shipping companies work within.

In order to ship your car internationally you must have a standard insurance policy of no less than $10,000. The car will also go through customs at the arrival port. It is required that you are able to show proof that you own the vehicle. If you are paying on a car note, you must present customs with a permission letter stating that you are allowed to ship the vehicle internationally.
Also, when importing a vehicle to the U.S. you will have to follow several custom rules set by the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency.
