Exporting a car overseas involves several crucial steps and documentation requirements. Here are some key points to keep in mind before shipping your car internationally:

1. Proof of Ownership:
   • When exporting motor vehicles from the United States, you need to provide documents that establish proof of ownership, usually in the form of a certificate of title.
   • Ensure you have the original certificate of title along with multiple copies as per the export requirements.
2. New Cars without Titles:
   • In the case of new cars that have never been titled, you can export them by submitting a document called a manufacturer's statement of origin.
   • Obtain the manufacturer's statement of origin from your car dealer, and present the original and two copies to Customs for clearance.
3. Customs Inspection:
   • Your car will undergo a Customs inspection at the time of export.
   • If your vehicle is being transported by ship or plane, both the car and the ownership documents must be presented to Customs at least 72 hours before loading.
   • The Customs inspection will be conducted during this time to ensure compliance with regulations.
4. Certification and Export Authorization:
   • After the Customs inspection, your car will be authorized for export once it is certified that the ownership documents are in order.
   • The original title will be stamped to certify that your vehicle has been exported from the United States.
5. Fuel Level Requirements:
   • As a safety measure during transportation, it is generally required to have your gas tank drained to less than 1/4 tank.

By following these guidelines and fulfilling the necessary documentation requirements, you can ensure a smoother process for shipping your car internationally. It's advisable to consult with a reputable international moving company or a car shipping specialist to assist you with the specific procedures and regulations related to your destination country.
