The problem could be war, famine, or some kind of
horrible natural disaster.

However, you never really hear anything about
shipping issues when it comes to international
trade especially on the consumer side.

I would like to inform everyone of some
guidelines you should follow when shipping a
vehicle internationally.

21
R????r?h th? ????r w?rk.
22
Ev?r? country has d?ff?r?nt rules ?? to wh?t th??
r??u?r?, but ??u w?ll m??t l?k?l? n??d t? prove
ownership of the vehicle ?nd ?????bl? g?t a
??????l v??? f?r ?t.

When you ship your car internationally ??u
eliminate th? n??d f?r a r?nt?l ??r as ??u'll be
fr?? t? drive ??ur own car in th? ??untr? th?t ?t
h?? been shipped t?.
