There are a few reliable ports that accept imported school buses, and that clients love to ship to. These include Port Lagos, Nigeria; Port Cotonou, Benin; Port Mombasa, Kenya; Port Walvis Bay, Namibia; and Port Lome, Togo.

RO/RO is an efficient and affordable option for those who are shipping school buses that are running, wheeled, and self-propelled. It is often less expensive than container shipping, and less is needed from the client to get started. With RO/RO vessels, the automobile can simply be driven onto the vessel, so customers save costs on loading and unloading. However, shippers cannot have any items in the school bus, so this option is not ideal for those who are looking to transport personal effects along with the bus. RO/RO shipping is a safe and effective method for loading and transporting wheeled cargo to virtually any port in the world. As an affordable method for transporting cars, trucks, and buses, international shipping clients can’t go wrong.

Regulations imposed on imported automobiles/cars/vehicles may dictate the maximum age of the bus that may be imported, how clean the bus must be, how much gasoline has to remain in the tank, the size of engines, and what can and cannot be left in automobiles during the shipping process. There is also a variety of documentation that is required including identification papers, proof of sale, proof of value, power of attorney, and more depending on the specific destination and their customs.
