HOW IT WORKS

How Export Documentation Works

From vehicle details to customs approval, our process helps keep your export paperwork organized, compliant, and ready for shipment.

Submit Vehicle Details

Provide VIN, shipper information, title documents, and ownership records so we can begin the export documentation process.

02

Title Verification

We confirm title status, review lien release requirements, and check whether the vehicle is ready for export clearance.

03

Power of Attorney

If required, the shipper signs Power of Attorney paperwork so export filings can be processed correctly on their behalf.

04

AES Filing & ITN Issuance

We prepare the export filing details so the Automated Export System submission can be completed and an ITN number issued.

Port Customs Clearance

The documentation package is reviewed for compliance and submitted as needed for export approval and customs release.

Shipment Released

Once cleared, the vehicle or cargo is approved for loading and can move forward toward departure from the port.
