Regulations on importing and exporting motorbikes are different for each country. However, there are certainly some common procedures in motorbike shipping.

• Your motorcycle needs to be be spotless and clean to avoid any issues with quarantine on arrival.
  
  
• All motorcycles need to be crated unless shipping as a group in a container. In most locations we offer crating, battery disconnection, fuel draining and petrol draining in line with shipping requirements.
  
  
• There are special requirements on the type of wood that can be used for building crates, so if you intend to crate your own motorcycle either use a steel crate or build it from what is known as ISPM15 timber. If in doubt leave it to us, non-compliant timber can’t be shipped.
  
  
• In some countries (like New Zealand) we can apply for GST exemption. There are some criteria, but as a rule of thumb if you are emigrating to the country and already own the bike then we can apply for an exemption for you.
