Bike shipping to the USA

[scutty]

I'm looking for anyone with recent relevant experience shipping bikes to the USA.
We're planning on doing the TAT in August so need to get 2 bikes to the east coast and then back from the west coast.

I always recommend Moto Freight. Roddy and Cathy have always looked after me and my bikes for shipping.
They’ll help you with EPA exemption and everything else you’ll need.
Airfreight will get your bike to where you need it far more reliably than sea freight. Time wise that is.

Re the TAT, have you seen this thread:

Lots more TAT threads on that forum.

One more for Motofreight.

I’ve used them four times and they are flawless.

How are prices doing these days? Have they dropped closer to pre Covid costs? Just after Covid they went through the roof; £5k or so return.

Air freight is looking very spendy still - £3k per bike to the US. Shipping looks a lot cheaper but risky if the ship doesn't arrive on time.

Is that £3000 each way or return?

From memory we paid about £1250 per bike for sea freight including all fees (port, documentation etc) from New Jersey on the East coast back to Felixstowe in a shared container. Again, Moto Freight sorted it all out for us.

I've got it down to £2100 per bike (one way) air freight (into Raleigh NC) and might've found a RoRo into Baltimore for $800 per bike, just waiting for confirmation.

I’ve never used RoRo but check out the port charges for once the bike arrives.
Also, it may be worth enquiring about a shared container as you will be able to send all of your luggage with the bike in it’s separate crate.
