Importang car parts from Europe

[Guest justme]

Anyone know the proceedure to have car parts shipped from Europe? Items that are too large or heavy for the post office. Maybe Fedex or boat.

Example: a 3 speed transmission.

Thanks

I believe large items like transmissions will need to brokered, they take care of all the paperwork for a nominal fee. Last item I sent across the pond was a Bugatti tail section in a wood crate I made to protect it. You also have to get to the dock/airport. Spend some time Googling the topic and you'll find a broker to walk tou through this.

Bob if you find us a nice TT panel truck you don't have to build a crate for the Barrel Piano

Maybe a truck we can haul the Miller in..... We don't need to go fast as you know

UPS has their own brokers. They will ship if the parcel is not in excess of 150#

DHL does larger packages and in general does better on international freight. For a large item like a vehicle, you will need a customs broker. There are a number of vehicle shipping services you can find on line that will handle it. If not, there a lot of dependable customs brokers/shippers that can handle the job. I do a lot of international shipping in my job, and I can help you find someone if you need help. Feel free to contact me off this board directly.

DHL and FEDEX will be expensive because it's air freight. Partial container shipping will save a lot, but will take possibly a month or two. Contact a international shipping broker for partial container shipping.

Can the seller assist you, I have shipped many items to Europe but not yet received. I used Fed Ex for most items, and when I shipped an engine it went via another carrier that was arranged by the buyer through a broker. It was palleted and crated, Make sure you really research and get references before paying any broker. Heres a link on importing cars it might be similiar:Auto Import
