A great price means little if a bike arrives damaged or stuck in customs. Professional packing and complete paperwork protect your investment. Use this checklist before your next motorcycle container ships.
Before loading
- Confirm each unit against its invoice, VIN/frame number and condition grade.
- Drain or secure fuel as required, disconnect or protect batteries, and immobilise moving parts.
- Wrap and crate vulnerable bodywork; photograph every unit for your records.
Loading the container
- Distribute weight evenly and lash every bike to prevent shifting in transit.
- Use wheel chocks and soft ties to avoid scratches and paint damage.
- Maximise space safely — good loading lowers your per-unit freight cost.
Export documents you will need
- Commercial invoice and packing list.
- Bill of lading.
- Export certificate / de-registration for used Japanese units.
- Any certificates of origin or inspection your destination requires.
