Essential Documentation for Shipping a Vehicle to South Africa
Proper documentation is essential when transporting a vehicle to South Africa, particularly if it's going to be kept there rather than being driven through as you go to another location. For your vehicle to be imported into South Africa, you must first get ITAC import permission and a Letter of Authority (LOA). If you import a vehicle without having this documentation in order, it may have clearance problems, which could cost you money.
For exporting your automobile to South Africa, you need the following documentation:
- V5C (log book for the vehicle)
- Photo page of your passport
- MOT certificate (if Ship Cars Ltd is collecting the vehicle for you in the UK)
- Purchase invoice for the vehicle
When you ship a car to South Africa with Ship Cars Ltd, the procedure is streamlined to make sure it goes smoothly, without a hitch, and in accordance with all legal requirements.
