Understanding Military POV Shipping:
Military POV shipping refers to the process of relocating your privately-owned vehicle, such as cars, motorcycles, or SUVs, when you’re stationed abroad. When moving to France as part of a military assignment, you’ll want to consider the following key points:
1. Compliance with Regulations: Ensure your vehicle complies with French and U.S. regulations, including emissions standards, safety requirements, and necessary documentation.
2. Shipping Options: Choose between roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) or container shipping. RoRo is cost-effective but exposes your vehicle to the elements, while container shipping offers more protection.
3. Required Documents: Prepare essential documents such as the Certificate of Title, Bill of Sale, and proof of insurance. You’ll also need a valid U.S. driver’s license and passport.
4. Import Taxes and Duties: Be aware of any import taxes or duties that may apply when bringing your POV into France. Our team can help you navigate these regulations.
5. Shipping Preparation: Ensure your vehicle is in good working condition, and document any existing damage for insurance purposes. Remove personal belongings from the vehicle.
6. Transit Time: Understand that transit times can vary depending on factors like the departure and arrival ports, weather conditions, and shipping method.
7. Insurance Coverage: Consider purchasing additional insurance coverage for added peace of mind during transit.

- The average shipping time from Houston to France can range from 4 to 6 weeks.
