Guide to Exporting Cars from New Zealand to Malaysia

Navigating the process of exporting vehicles from New Zealand to Malaysia, and importing cars from Japan, Australia, and the UK to Malaysia, can be a complex task. This article provides factual information on the subject, focusing on shipping methods and the integral role of Dolphin Shipping.

Shipping Methods: Key Considerations

Two primary methods are used for shipping vehicles – Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) and container shipping.

RORO Shipping

RORO is a cost-effective method where vehicles are driven onto the shipping vessel, often resulting in extended waiting periods at transshipment ports.

Container Shipping

Container shipping involves securing the vehicle within a container, providing additional protection. This method also mitigates delays at transshipment ports, with a weekly sailing schedule from New Zealand.

Vehicle Export and Import: Essential Steps

1. Vehicle Preparation

Proper cleaning and mechanical checks ensure the vehicles are ready for export.

Dolphin Shipping will arrange transport to the port or the container packing depot. RORO Ships only depart from Auckland Port. We can ship containers from Auckland and Lyttelton Port (Christchurch).

Dolphin Shipping will arrange the export clearance. We will require the purchase invoice or a valuation on the vehicle in order to arrange the export clearance.

2. Documentation

Required documents include the Ownership Documents and a Bill of Lading for export. Dolphin Shipping will provide you with a copy of the Bill of Lading. Import documents aligning with Malaysian authorities regulations are also needed such as. approval and import permit.

3. Shipping and Delivery

The vehicles are shipped via the chosen method to Malaysia's main port, Port Klang.

4. Customs Clearance

Upon arrival, the vehicles undergo customs clearance, involving adherence to Malaysia's import regulations and the payment of relevant taxes and duties.
