Documentation & Paperwork to Ship a Car from the USA to India

Shipping a car from the United States to India starts with US export customs. Before your vehicle can be loaded into a container or onto a vessel, US Customs requires proof of ownership and several export documents. Below are the standard US export documents needed to ship a car from the USA to India.

Bill of Sale for the vehicle
Original Vehicle Title (If there's a lien on the car, a lien release letter is also required)
Power of Attorney form
Completed Online Shipping Form
Copy of Passport (If you are an international citizen without a US passport)
Copy of EIN Letter (If you are a US citizen)

Some US states do not issue titles for older or classic cars. For example, Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont often rely on registration documents instead of titles. In these cases, a combination of current registration and a notarized bill of sale is usually accepted for export, but the exact requirements depend on the vehicle and state. Our team reviews your paperwork in advance to confirm what US Customs will need for your shipment to India.

RoRo Car Shipping to India for Oversized Vehicles

RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) car shipping to India is a practical option for oversized vehicles and heavy machinery that cannot fit inside a standard container. Vehicles are driven on and off the vessel at major India ports, which keeps handling to a minimum and can lower the overall cost for large units.

Key RoRo Details

Best suited for oversized vehicles, construction equipment, tractors, buses, and heavy machinery
Drive-on/drive-off loading reduces handling but offers no enclosed protection like containers
Schedules and pricing vary based on unit size and vessel availability — not necessarily cheaper than container shipping
