There are certain pointers that you could keep in mind to make the whole shipping thing an experience that is a bit easier. So, what are the things that you can do?

  • Licensing- that is the first and foremost criteria that you have to meet with in the exporting of heavy equipment overseas. Categorise your equipment in a manner so as to meet all licensing wants in the best manner possible. A classification request has to be presented to the Bureau of Industry and Security, who will then decide upon the issue further with respect to the Export Administration Regulations or EAR. Also ensure that your equipment meets all the legal requirements set by the government.
  • It would also do well to employ the services of a shipping company so that the heavy equipment meant for overseas shipping is consolidated in a single container. This is quite beneficial as not only does it call for easy tracking options but also cuts cost by a considerable amount. In this case, it would be best to go for a shipping company that has enough experience in the export of heavy equipment. It is also to be noted that the rate of shipping will depend on the dimensions of your construction equipment.
  • It is also a wise move to find out the import regulations of the country you are shipping your heavy equipment to. This is because not all countries allow the import of all kinds of equipment, though the permission to export the same is granted by the U.S government.
  • And last but not the least. Arrange for the construction equipment to be imported to the “import pick up spot”. You could either do this yourself or could arrange for a truck that would do it.
