Methods of Car Shipping to USA
We offer these main ways of car shipping to the USA, balancing cost, speed, and protection:
By Sea - RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off)
This is usually the cheapest option for standard vehicles. We just drive your car onto a special ship in Dubai. When it arrives at a big US port, like New York, Baltimore, Houston, or Los Angeles, we can drive it off. RoRo offers reliable service with frequent departures. The sea journey takes about 30 to 40 days from port to port. Also, allow extra time for inland delivery.
By Sea - In a Container
Container shipping is ideal for high-value vehicles. This includes classic, luxury, and non-running cars. It offers better security for these types of cars. Your car is safely packed in a sealed steel container. This gives it great protection from the weather and bumps. This method lets you ship some personal items with your vehicle. Please ask about the specific rules. The total door-to-door transit time averages 35-45 days.
By Air
If speed is crucial, air freight is the quickest choice. However, it’s also the priciest. This method is perfect for urgent moves or for valuable cars. It requires little handling. Your vehicle travels via cargo plane to major US international airports such as JFK, LAX, MIA, or ORD. The flight time is quick, usually 3 to 7 days from airport to airport. Then, there’s customs clearance and final delivery plans.
Cities and Ports involved when car shipping to USA
We use key US entry points for smooth delivery when car shipping to the USA:
- East Coast Ports: New York/New Jersey, Baltimore, Savannah, Miami
- Gulf Coast Ports: Houston, Galveston
- West Coast Ports: Los Angeles/Long Beach, Tacoma
- Major Airports (Air Freight): JFK (New York), ORD (Chicago), LAX (Los Angeles), MIA (Miami), IAH (Houston)
We deliver vehicles to every state. This includes both big cities and small towns across the mainland US, wherever there are roads.
FAQs' When Car Shipping to USA from Dubai
Answers to common questions about car shipping services to the USA from Dubai:
Can I ship my car from Dubai to the USA?
Yes, definitely. Many people do this every month. AEON takes care of everything, whether you’re moving for work, going home, or sending business vehicles. This includes pickup in Dubai, managing US import rules, and arranging final delivery.
What documents do I need to prepare to ship my car?
You will generally need:
- Proof of Ownership:
- Original Vehicle Title (translated into English if not already).
- Bill of Sale or Invoice (especially for cars bought overseas).
- Shipping Document:
- Original Bill of Lading (OBL).
- US Compliance Forms:
- EPA Form: Usually EPA 3520-1 (for US-certified vehicles returning) or EPA 3520-21 (for certain imports).
- DOT Form: HS-7 (Declaration for Imported Motor Vehicles).
- Proof the Car Meets US Standards (EPA & DOT): You generally need one way to show this:
- Previous US Title/Registration (if it’s a returning US vehicle).
- A letter from the car manufacturer confirming it meets US standards.
- Proof the vehicle is 25 years old or older (via the title).
- A specific foreign military sales contract.
- Special Cases May Require:
- Tourists: Letter of permission from the EPA.
- Returning US Residents: May need completed Customs Form 7501 along with the EPA/DOT forms.
Essentially, you need to prove you own the car, have the shipping document, and demonstrate (through specific forms and supporting proof) that the vehicle meets US safety (DOT) and environmental (EPA) regulations, or qualifies for an exemption (like the 25-year rule).
The import rules keep changing and hence It’s best to double-check current rules with:
○ Your AEON Shipping advisor
○ US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
○ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
○ DOT / NHTSA
