For our shipment of our 4 vehicles from Vladivostok to Long Beach California, he organised: competitive shipping rates, liaised with out Forwarding Agent in Long Beach with considerable information required, collection of container from shipping company, and for us importantly arranged a site so we could load the vehicles ourselves, movement of the container to and from that site, movement to port, Customs clearance and inspection, and unloading of container at destination. Total cost per 40’ high cube container US$6,650 or US$3,325/vehicle.
Allocate 3 to 4 business days for this process.
For a comparison quote for both import and export I suggest you also try:
Aleksey had quoted us previously a better rate however the shipping company he used no longer sailed to Long Beach.
As always when asking for a quotation for import or export, attempt to get a total price with everything included. That way there are no surprises.
For bringing a vehicle in, your agent will give you the Pink Temporary Import Papers.
They will look like this: Russian Pink Temporary Import Document.pdf
Plan on about 3 business days to clear your vehicle
