When exporting your vehicle overseas, you should understand the regulations and laws of the United States and the destination country, especially regarding which cars can be imported and the associated fees. This is because laws vary from country to country regarding which types and ages of vehicles can be imported or exported, and those laws can change without notice. In addition, most countries don’t allow the importation of vehicles over a certain age.

Vehicle Export Certification Explained
A vehicle export certification is formal documentation that requires proof from government and customs authorities that you own the vehicle you are shipping overseas, such as a title or bill of sale, along with a Shippers Export Declaration from the U.S. government. Other documentation is also required, such as a third-party inspection report, to verify the vehicle’s emission compliance and drivability.
Proof of Ownership Paperwork
For exporting your vehicle, you will need to show the following documentation for proof of ownership:
- The certificate (certified or original copy) of the vehicle’s title.
- If there is no title, a bill of sale or sales invoice is required. The bill of sale includes essential details such as the buyer’s and seller’s names, the vehicle’s VIN, and the vehicle’s make and model.
- A formal letter of permission from the lienholder is essential if there is a lien on the vehicle.
Shipping and Compliance Documentation
Other paperwork you need to obtain a vehicle shipping certification are:
- Shippers Export Declaration: A required form for exporting a vehicle from the United States.
- Certificate of Conformity: Establishes that the vehicle meets the destination country’s emission standards.
- Roadworthiness Certificate: Most countries require this certificate to prove that the exported vehicle is safe to drive on their roads.
- Third-Party Inspection Report: Some destinations require this report to verify the vehicle’s condition and confirm there are no financial or legal issues.
