RORO vessels from Newark to Guatemala.

The units must be at the terminal before the cut-off, with the title already presented to U.S. Customs.

What rolls on

The units Guatemalan buyers find in the Northeast.

  • Buses

    Retired school buses

    Bought at district auctions and dealers, driven to Newark and shipped RORO to start a second life on Guatemalan routes.

  • Pickups

    Pickups and SUVs

    Clean-title and repairable units from dealers and auction yards, collected and delivered to the terminal.

  • Trucks

    Dump trucks and tractors

    Work trucks and road tractors for transport and construction companies.

  • Machinery

    Loaders and excavators

    Construction equipment that drives aboard, or goes on a Mafi trailer when it does not run.

From the yard to Santo Tomás

Four steps for each unit.

  1. Purchase and release

    Send us the year, make, model and VIN with the yard address. Once the unit is paid and released, we schedule the pickup.

  2. Title to U.S. Customs

    The original title or a certified copy is presented to U.S. Customs at least 72 hours before loading, and we file the export information.

  3. Loading in Newark

    The unit is driven aboard and lashed. You receive the bill of lading with the VIN of every unit.

  4. Clearance in Guatemala

    The buyer’s customs broker clears the unit at Santo Tomás de Castilla on the DUCA declaration, with the NIT of the consignee.

Guatemala sets conditions on imported used vehicles that may differ at the time you ship. They must be confirmed with the customs broker at destination before you buy and when you book.

In New Jersey

Paperwork done close to the port.

At our Newark office you can hand in titles and bills of sale and check every document before it goes to Customs. Our head office near Montreal confirms the booking with the carrier and follows the vessel to Guatemala.

Questions

New York to Guatemala, answered.

How long does RORO take from Newark to Guatemala?

About two weeks from the Port of Newark to Santo Tomás de Castilla on the vessels on our board. Units loading earlier in the rotation, in Jacksonville or Baltimore, arrive on the same vessel.

Can you ship a used school bus to Guatemala?

Yes. Retired school buses are one of the most common units we ship to Guatemala. They go RORO, driven aboard in Newark; we need the title, the dimensions and the confirmation that the bus runs and brakes.

Can you collect a vehicle from an auction yard?

Yes. We pick up from auction yards in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania once the purchase is paid and the release is issued, and take the unit to the terminal in Newark.

What about salvage titles?

Salvage-title vehicles can be exported from the United States with the title presented to U.S. Customs. Whether the unit can be registered in Guatemala is a separate question: check it with the buyer’s customs broker before bidding.

Do you ship containers from New York to Guatemala?

Yes, on request. We quote full containers from the Port of New York and New Jersey case by case; the board on this page shows the RORO vessels, which are the regular service from Newark.

Can I handle everything in Spanish?

Yes. Our Newark office and our head office near Montreal both work in Spanish, from the quote to the documents for the broker in Guatemala.
