| Type / model | Class | Price (USD) |

Frequently asked questions
How is heavy equipment shipped overseas?
By sealed container for smaller/mini machines and parts, or RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) for wheeled and large machines — whichever is safer and cheaper for the unit.
What documents do I need to import machinery?
A commercial invoice, bill of lading, and inspection/condition report; your customs broker confirms the HS code and duties.
