From Warehouse to Worldwide | Vehicle Shipping Process Explained | All Cargo Export

07.04.2025

When you book international shipping for your car, motorcycle, or camper, you might wonder — what actually happens between the moment your vehicle arrives at the warehouse and when it’s sealed in a container?

At All Cargo Export, we don’t just move vehicles — we manage every step of the process with precision, care, and full transparency. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what happens to your vehicle before it ships.

Once your vehicle arrives at our facility near the Port of Savannah, it goes through a visual check-in process. We verify the:

  • Vehicle’s exterior condition

  • VIN number and documentation

  • Add-ons like spoilers or accessories that need extra care

Photos are taken and logged into our system to maintain transparency.

Depending on shipping requirements, we:

  • Remove dirt or mud from wheels/undercarriage (to avoid import issues)

  • Remove toll tags or personal items

  • Make sure the fuel tank is under the allowed limit

We also check tire pressure and battery condition if the vehicle is expected to be driven short distances at port.

Before loading, we take multiple high-resolution photos of your vehicle from every angle. These are sent to you or stored securely as proof of condition before shipment begins.

This is where the magic happens:

  • Your vehicle is carefully driven or winched into the container

  • Custom straps, wooden blocks, and tire locks are used

  • We avoid metal-on-metal contact and use soft padding where needed

If you’re shipping multiple vehicles, motorcycles, or additional cargo — we engineer the interior layout to maximize safety and space.

After everything is secured:

  • Final inspection is performed (internal + external)

  • Container doors are closed and sealed with a unique tracking number

  • Your container is ready for global departure

You’ll receive documentation and container details for tracking and customs.

Whether you're exporting a single motorcycle or a full container of vehicles, we treat every shipment with the same level of attention and professionalism. That’s what makes All Cargo Export a trusted name in global logistics.
