Only allowing 1 person at the port is incredibly inconvenient. This is crucial information. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video, I have a few cars on the boat now. Do you know how long it took to clear customs once landed?

Helpful video! Do you mind sharing which broker company you used?

I’ve used a couple different brokers but the only one I would recommend is Cartainer Ocean Line out of NJ.

Excellent video. What kind of trailer did you use? My son picks his up later this month.

I had a 16’ it’s in the thumbnail. I’ve seen people use small 6x12 uhaul trailers. I helped a guy load one. It’s tight but fits.

@@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_DadThanks. I'm guessing yes but the gate/ramp on that trailer held the weight of the Kei.

Did you do any paper work at the port office or was it all done before hand at a CBP office?

Thanks for the info! Picking up a Suzuki Carry in a few days from Newport News. Was the staff at the port associated with CBP, or just the Port of Virginia? I think I'll need to get a couple of forms stamped by CBP and wondering if I can knock it all out at the same time.

I wish I could answer that but I was so frazzled when I got there from getting lost and then they made my friends sit on the curb and not come in. I was just happy I got my truck at that point.

I have this same question regarding having CBP forms stamped. Is it needed for NC registration? Can it be done at the Marine Terminal? The Norfolk CBP office seems like it would be hard to get to with a trailer. Thanks for any help.

What fees did you owe at the port? Picking up in a few weeks and I owe my shipper nothing, what may I owe at the port?
@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad4 ай бұрын
I owed $100 and some change. I don’t recall what it was all for but I do know I had a couple days late fee. Make sure you call them so they can tell you the exact amount and get a money order.

if you don’t mind me asking how tall are you and do you fit in it well?

I’m 6’1”. It’s a little tight but not too bad. From what I hear, the Subaru has the largest cab. I can’t confirm but that’s one of the reasons I chose the Sambar.

Can you take your dog? My car is at Newport News. Port saying they are still waiting for release from shipper. Shipper says they sent already. Frustrating as hell. Just have to keep checking. Staff just seem really rude and unhelpful.
@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad Жыл бұрын
I’m guessing they probably won’t allow dogs. They will inspect your vehicle at the main gate btw so don’t take any firearms or knives with you either

@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad OK thanks for information. Picking up a Pajero mini. Going to rent a trailer or dolly. Thinking dolly cos a bit cheaper. Did you have any issues with getting title, tags and insurance?
