Roll-on / roll-off
Cars are driven on and off a vehicle carrier. Check the carrier's acceptance rules, operating-condition requirements, ports and arrangements for loose items.
Car shipping from China
Plan the route, documents and handover for your vehicles.
KEEYAK coordinates your vehicle shipping requirements with the exporter and transport providers. We collect the route proposal, charges, document requirements and handover contacts.
You receive a cost proposal first. Booking references and departure updates follow once the transport is arranged.
How we coordinate your shipment
The vehicles, destination and available carrier services determine the plan. Your order sets the handover point and the work included.
- 01
Compare the route
We request options from transport providers using the vehicle dimensions, quantity and destination.
- You receive
- A route proposal with quoted charges and estimated dates
- 02
Prepare the file
We coordinate the required documents and vehicle details with the exporter and your receiving party.
- You receive
- Document drafts to review and the applicable final records
- 03
Follow the handover
We pass on booking and dispatch updates from the provider and coordinate receiving instructions.
- You receive
- Transport references, collection instructions and a follow-up contact
Compare transport options
Start with the destination, vehicle dimensions and quantity. Carrier acceptance, handling arrangements and available services determine which options can be quoted.
Container
Cars travel in a container with an agreed loading and securing plan. Check usable space, vehicles per container and handling at both ends before comparing the price.
Overland
A road or other land route can be considered where a service is available. Check border transfers, documents and the final handover point for the proposed route.
Your transport cost breakdown
We request an itemized proposal from the transport provider. It lists main freight, handling and destination costs separately, with the total up to your chosen handover point.
Before departure
Domestic movement, storage, port handling, preparation and loading, with any charges that depend on actual handling identified.
Main transport
Proposed route and service, quoted rate, validity and booking conditions.
Insurance
Whether cover is included or separately arranged, the risks covered and the contact and evidence needed for a claim.
At destination
The handover point and responsibility for terminal handling and onward transport. Your importer or agent supplies local clearance, tax and registration estimates.
Dispatch, carrier departure, arrival and collection have separate dates. The schedule should distinguish estimates from confirmed dates and name the contact for transport or clearance updates.
Shipping documents
We coordinate the document list with the exporter and destination importer, then pass on the applicable records from the issuing parties. Review consignee and vehicle details on the drafts before they are finalized.
Commercial invoice and packing list
Issued for the order by the relevant seller or exporter, identifying the parties, vehicles, quantities and supplied items.
Transport document
Issued by the transport provider. Sea shipments normally use a bill of lading; the route determines the document and release method.
Origin or conformity records
Supplied where required and available for the exact vehicles. Your destination importer establishes which records are accepted locally.
Departure and handover file
Vehicle identifiers, dated condition photos, supplied-item list and transport references from the parties handling dispatch.
This is a document checklist, not a record of a completed shipment. Order-specific documents and photographs identify the actual vehicles and transport movement.
Before departure
We coordinate the departure record with the party handling dispatch. It identifies each car and lists its condition photos, keys and supplied items for the receiving party to check on arrival.
Vehicle identity
Identifiers, market version and quantity should match the order and relevant transport documents.
Condition photographs
Keep dated exterior and interior views. Record any existing marks with enough context to locate them on the car.
Keys and supplied items
List the keys, accessories and accompanying documents. Agree how loose items will be packed and handed over.
Release instructions
Keep loading or securing evidence where provided, the transport reference and the named receiving contact.
Check the cars as you receive them
Compare arrival condition with the departure file while the receiving records are being completed. If you find a difference, follow the shipment's reporting procedure and preserve the evidence.
- 01
Match the vehicles
Check identifiers and quantity, then compare the visible condition, keys and other supplied items.
- 02
Record the difference
Take dated overview and detail photographs. Record missing items or document discrepancies in the receiving record.
- 03
Contact the claims handler
Contact the carrier, claims contact or order contact specified for the shipment. Check the applicable reporting deadlines.
- 04
Keep the complete file
Retain transport references, condition photos and correspondence. A transport-damage claim and a warranty issue may follow different routes.
Request a route and cost proposal
Include the vehicles, quantity, destination country or port and preferred timing. Tell us where you expect the handover to take place and whether you need onward transport.
