Final quality check

Before shipping, our team performs a thorough final quality check on each restored Land Rover Defender. This comprehensive inspection ensures that every aspect of the vehicle, from mechanical components to aesthetic details, meets our stringent standards. This step guarantees that the Defender is in perfect condition and ready for the journey to you. Click here to learn more about the process before shipping.

European Paperwork

Once the final quality check is complete, we handle all necessary European paperwork. This includes export documentation, compliance certificates, and any other legal requirements. Our expertise in international vehicle regulations ensures that all paperwork is accurately completed, avoiding any potential delays or issues during shipping.

Delivery to port in Europe

After the paperwork is sorted, the Defender is carefully transported to the designated port in the European Union. We use secure transport methods to ensure the vehicle arrives at the port in the same pristine condition. This step is crucial for preparing the vehicle for its ocean voyage to the USA.

Ocean Freight

We utilize Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) shipping for transporting the Defender across the Atlantic. This method involves driving the vehicle onto a specialized ship, where it is securely stored for the duration of the journey. RORO shipping is cost-effective and ensures minimal handling of the vehicle, reducing the risk of damage.

Arrival in US port

Upon arrival at a U.S. port, the Defender is carefully offloaded from the ship. Our team oversees the process to ensure the vehicle is handled with the utmost care. This step marks the beginning of the final leg of the journey, where the Defender transitions from ocean freight to domestic transport.

Handling

Following arrival, the vehicle undergoes a detailed handling process to ensure it remains in the best condition. This includes a thorough inspection to confirm there was no damage during transit and preparation for customs clearance. Professional handlers manage every step to maintain the vehicle's integrity.

Duties & Registration at the DMV

The final steps involve managing customs duties and registration at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). We take care of all import duties and ensure that the necessary documentation is submitted for DMV registration. This process ensures that the Defender is legally compliant and ready for its new owner to drive on American roads.
