Car import to the Georgia from the United States can be made using Roll-On/Roll-Off, shared container, or sole container service.

Roll-On/Roll-Off – Our most budget-friendly option for vehicles imported to Georgia from the States, since the only additional costs are port and customs fees. Works best for vehicles in working condition, as vehicles are driven into a parking-like area of the shipping vessel and secured for transport.

Shared Container Service – Various vehicles are securely stacked into a completely encased 40ft shipping container, sharing the additional charges brought about by container shipping. Added charges include terminal handling, trucking and emptying charges, as well as Customs clearance fees. Request a quote for the most accurate price for car imports to Georgia from the US.

Autos are stacked utilizing our best in class steel stacking racks, enabling us to safely stack multiple vehicles into a single enclosed shipping container. Vehicles are shielded from the climate and other hazards during travel to Georgia from the States.

Although you’ll have the additional security of shipping your vehicle in a fully enclosed shipping container, there may be a more extended wait before your vehicle is imported to Georgia since the container must achieve capacity before shipping

Full Container Load –

Vehicle(s) is loaded into a dedicated container. Enjoy the benefit of a fully enclosed container without the added time of waiting for container capacity. Note that terminal and container handling fees won’t be shared with other car owners. Take advantage of the added security of a fully enclosed container – your vehicle(s) will be loaded by our professional staff using our industry-leading steel loading system that allows us to load multiple vehicles into a single container.

Upon arrival at our warehouse, your vehicle’s condition and complete loading process will be photographed and included in our guaranteed condition report. Your container will be secured after loading and won’t be accessible until its arrival at its final destination. You are welcome to transport other items in your vehicle- Please note however, that all items must be loaded safely, as we are not responsible for any loss or harm of any sort.

Once your car arrives at its destination in Georgia, our authorized agent will access the container, photograph the car’s arrival condition and unloading process.

Thanks to frequent weekly departures, our enclosed container shipping option is not only more secure, but faster than our Roll-On/Roll-Off Service.

Sourcing Vehicles – We have developed a wide network of car buyers throughout our time in the shipping industry and are ready to help overseas clients with car purchases for a nominal fee.
