In all cases, every piece of luggage must have the license plate of the motorcycle clearly marked on it. This allows us, customs (and you) to identify the luggage belonging to which motorbike.

The luggage cannot be locked: customs have the right to break the locks, if they want to inspect it and they find it locked.

The rider is responsible for the disassembly, re-assembly and wrapping of the luggage. Remember that each piece of luggage must be wrapped separately and clearly marked with the license plate of the motorcycle.

Because of the dimensions of the cages where the motorbikes are strapped, the luggage must be usually be dismantled from the motorbike – unless the width of the bike + luggage does not exceed 980 mm.

Maximum Height: 1200mm. This is why in most cases, the mirrors and windshield must be dismantled.
Maximum width: 980mm (with or without luggage mounted)
Maximum length: 2300mm. This is sometimes important in case there is a top case, license plate assembly, or a special rear rack, which may extend the length of the motorbike.

The windshield and mirrors have to be dismantled and wrapped separately and stored to protect them from any damage.

Always check the tire pressure of all motorbikes before shipping as you retain ultimate responsibility to thoroughly check your motorcycle (including tire pressure) before riding off.

Inspect the bikes before shipment, and at arrival. We document the condition of each motorbike with photographs or videos. If we find leaks, we will in all cases inform you.

The battery must always be disconnected when transporting motor vehicles by sea.
It is your responsibility to disconnect/reconnect the battery, remember to carefully insulate the connectors and terminals with tape.

Fuel can never be shipped along with the motorcycle in separate containers.

Empty fuel containers can be shipped however. If empty fuel containers have to be dismantled from the motorbike to meet the shipping dimensions (1200 mm x 980 mm x 2300 mm), additional charges are applicable for this.  The fuel quantity in your tank must not exceed 3 liters, for safety reasons.

The key must be attached to the handlebar of your motorbike (with a zip-tie for example). In case customs want to inspect the inside of your fuel tank: Unless they can open the fuel tank with the key, they have the right to break the lock. Secondly, on many motorbikes, without the key, we cannot remove the luggage – which is required to pack the motorcycles, in most cases.
