Comprehensive Car Shipping Services

Shipping your vehicle overseas from Denver requires precision and compliance with international regulations. SDC International Shipping offers secure car shipping solutions, transporting vehicles in containers alongside your household goods for streamlined logistics and customs clearance. This consolidated approach ensures your car and belongings arrive together, covered by a single inventory and insurance policy.

Container-Based Vehicle Shipping

Unlike vehicle-only shippers, SDC loads cars into containers with your household goods, using specialized equipment to prevent movement. Containers meet strict safety codes, protecting against weather, rough seas, or handling. For example, a client moving to Germany shipped their SUV with furniture in a 40’ container, arriving intact due to our secure loading techniques. Learn more about our car shipping services.

Biosecurity and Customs Compliance

Vehicles must be cleaned to meet biosecurity standards (e.g., no soil or organic material). SDC ensures compliance with destination regulations, such as Canada’s CBSA or Australia’s Border Force emissions standards. We include vehicles in your customs inventory, providing titles, registrations, and proof of compliance. Our coordination with global brokers prevents delays, ensuring seamless clearance.

Tailored for All Vehicle Types

From sedans to luxury cars, SDC ships vehicles of all sizes, ensuring they meet import rules. A Denver family moving to Japan successfully shipped their minivan with household goods, with SDC handling Japan Customs Service requirements. Our expertise ensures your vehicle is protected and compliant throughout its journey.

Expert Packing Services

Packing for an international move from Denver can be daunting, but SDC’s professional packing services simplify the process. Our trained packers handle everything from small apartments in Centennial to large homes in Highlands Ranch, using industry-leading materials to ensure safe transport.

Customized Packing Plans

We begin with a virtual or in-home survey to assess your shipment’s volume and needs. Our team creates a tailored plan, identifying fragile items, electronics, or antiques requiring special handling. For example, a client in Lakewood had their piano packed with custom crates, arriving undamaged in Australia. Discover more about our packing services.

Specialized Packing Materials

SDC uses ISPM-15 certified wooden crates, moisture-resistant wraps, and double-wall cartons with foam padding. Fragile items like glassware are double-boxed, electronics use anti-static packaging, and artwork receives custom crates with acid-free paper. These materials protect against humidity, rough handling, and customs inspections, ensuring compliance with global standards.

Detailed Inventories for Customs

Our packers create itemized inventories with box numbers, descriptions, and values, essential for customs clearance and insurance. Digital copies and photos of high-value items provide transparency. A client moving to Canada avoided delays with our CBSA-compliant inventory, ensuring swift clearance.

Affordable Marine Insurance

International moves from Denver involve risks like rough seas, port handling, or customs inspections. SDC strongly recommends marine insurance to protect against financial loss during ocean freight. Our insurance options offer peace of mind for your household goods and vehicles.

All-Risk Marine Insurance

Our all-risk marine insurance covers accidental damage, theft, water exposure, breakage, and natural disasters. It requires SDC’s professional packing to ensure compliance. For example, a client moving to Singapore recovered costs for a damaged TV due to our detailed inventory and claims support. Learn more about marine insurance.

Total Loss Insurance

For self-packed shipments, total loss insurance covers catastrophic events (e.g., a lost container) but not individual item damage. SDC’s specialists help you choose the right coverage during your consultation. Visit our international moving insurance page for details.

Claims Process and Support

If damage occurs, notify SDC within 7 days, provide photos and inventory details, and our claims team will coordinate with insurers. Most claims resolve in 4-6 weeks, with SDC advocating for fair outcomes. A Denver client moving to Germany received full reimbursement for a damaged sofa, thanks to our thorough documentation.
