How to Ship Heavy Machinery From USA to Sierra Leone
Ship Overseas is able to expertly coordinate the logistics when you need to ship heavy machinery to Sierra Leone from the USA. If you would like to kick off your project with a free quote, we will need the Year/Make/Model, Pickup Zip Code or Departure Port, and Destination Country, in this case, Sierra Leone.
To help you save on import duty fees and at an extra fee, we can professionally dismantle your machinery first so it fits in the containers more readily. It’s often cheaper when shipping disassembled machinery because it is considered a shipment of parts rather than a fully assembled machine.
We frequently work with construction companies, manufacturers, agencies and private owners in shipping their heavy machinery to Sierra Leone from the USA.
Departure and Arrival Ports
The five departure ports from the USA to Sierra Leone include:
The arrival port in Sierra Leone that we ship heavy machinery to is Freetown. This is the principal commercial port and the primary entry gate for trade and commerce to the country.
This is the port at which your designated pick up person will retrieve and sign for the equipment, paying in person for Tax or Duty on request.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship Heavy Machinery to Sierra Leone?
Generalizations on price can be tricky due to the many fluctuations in the type and weight of equipment. Additionally, heavy machinery doesn’t fit into typical size categories like cars do (i.e., compact, mid-sized, full-sized, small SUV, large SUV), which is why you need to call us for the most accurate prices.
We shipped our vehicle from Hawaii to Belgium. We contacted several companies online. Miron from Ship Overseas was the first to get back to us. This was our first time shipping a vehicle internationally and we had no idea what the entire process was going to be like. Some of the reviews we read said the company wasn't very responsive or communicative. We had quite the opposite experience. Miron communicated with us every step of the way. Communication was extremely important to us as this was quite a complicated process. Miron answered all our questions and provided all necessary details of the process. He was also very upfront with the fees and even advised us of what fees to expect here in Belgium. Our car made it to Belgium on schedule without any hassle. Miron's contact here in Belgium was also very thorough. I recommend Miron from Ship Overseas 100%.

Highly recommended. Paul, Miron, and team were very thorough/detail oriented. It was my first time having a car shipped from Europe which I purchased. He made sure I had all the paperwork needed. They also arranged transportation both to and from the ports.

I feel bad as I see a lot of people writing bad comments about this company. I've NEVER had a problem with them. NEVER.(Regarding the negative reviews..)Ship overseas is not an insurance provider, but rather a shipping company -- you must make sure to get insurance when shipping your vehicle so that no damages occur to it. They don't own the ship, nor workers, and of course as a result cannot guarantee the people on the ship won't damage your car.ShipOverseas is my go-to when I have to ship my cars. Which sounds funny to say, but I've actually shipped my car multiple times with them.Jack, one of the agents and owner is always very helpful, and does a great job of putting in trust in clients by making sure you understand the process in detail.I've transported my CLA45 AMG from the US to Belgium, without a problem, and have shipped it back, and am now buying a new car and shipping it back!You could say I'm somewhat of a (very happy) repeat customer – Photos for reference!

We highly recommend Shipoverseas services! Not only are they specialized in shipping gas/diesel motor operated cars but also specialize in shipping EV vehicles as well. We used there International shipping services to ship a 2022 Porsche Taycan to Dubai. The car arrived in less than a month in perfect shape, same as leaving our location. We worked with both Jack and Gary, both were great communicating and providing a timely status update. We will definitely be a regular customer! Thank you Jack and Gary!

Shipped my car from NC to Puerto Rico. They took care of the transport of my car from NC to the port in FL, and then on the ship from FL to PR. The staff was very responsive to all communications I sent, especially while my car was in transit. I always knew exactly where my vehicle was. Very kind and helpful staff, especially when I was just calling to inquire in the beginning. Will use them again if I ever need to ship my car back stateside.

I used Ship Overseas back in 2019 to ship my 2008 Harley Softtail from Galveston Texas to Belgium. I forget exactly how long it took, perhaps in the two month range. However, the bike did eventually arrive and was completely ready for me at pickup. They even handled all the import paperwork etc. My only complaint would be that somehow the bike had accumulated almost 100 extra miles on it from when I dropped in off, and picking it up. Perhaps they needed to run it around the boat a few 1000 times. Also, there were a couple of parts missing from my saddle bags. Lesson: NEVER leave anything that can't be bolted to the object you are shipping. Otherwise, great service and a very good shipping experience.

ShipOverseas was a great partner in shipping a Chevy Bolt EV to Helsinki Finland. The representatives provided easily understood descriptions of the roll on-roll off process, required paperwork, payments, etc. We drove the car onto the Galveston, TX dock with an accompanying guide. It was 100% smoothly accomplished. The car was transferred in Germany without problems (it is an electric vehicle with some unique starting characteristics) and offloaded near Helsinki, Finland. The photo shows incredibly clean conditions at the destination despite weeks at sea. I can highly recommend ShipOverseas for safe, economical, and successful vehicle shipping.

If you never had your car shipped before, I can tell you that it can be a very fearful, and stressful event, but I can vouch 1st hand that this agency took all the thought fear and stress away! We moved my XT-5 from DFW to overseas (Bahrain). We didn't have any issues, and it was relatively fast considering it's been shipped across the seas. I will 100% recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Hassle-free and delivers what was promised. I'll definitely be using them whenever we decide to return stateside!

I shipped two cars from Savannah to Germany. Super easy process and the rates were better than anyone elses that i was getting for the same route. Would recommend them to anyone for their shipping needs. They helped along the way to get the documents needed and explained the process clearly so i knew exactly what needed to be done to have my cars on the boat that I needed them to be on. Pickup on the other side was easy as well with who shipoverseas was partnered with where my vehicles arrived. They were in contact with me often so i knew that the vehicles were on time and when to have everything ready. I will certainly be in touch again when it's time to return from my oversea travels. Thanks for the smooth process!

This company and team were tremendously professional & also the least expensive company I found. I researched quite a few before settling on ShipOverseas. I’m glad I chose them, they were able to deliver my vehicle to my destination port in Korea when others said they could only deliver to one port in Korea and for less money. I will definitely use them again and recommend anyone shipping anyone to consult with ShipOverseas.com. Well done!

Hello Tere! Last summer I sent my car to Estonia. I was scared little bit because it was my first time ( maybe even last!) to do this kind of thing. But it went very smoothly - unexpectedly . Most difficult thing was driving myself to the port, but I did it! I could order somebody from Ship Overseas, but it cost money. And paperwork was pretty normal. The same day, I left to the airport, I got phone call that they sent car title to my old address. Wow! I thought that this title goes directly to the Estonian port, but I was wrong. They sent this very important paper over to my son.It arrived on time when I was ready to show car documents to the toll office. Everything ended very well ! Thanks to Ship Overseas. And , by the way, sending my car to Estonia was much, much cheaper than other companies offered. I am thankful !!!

They take a serious interest in making sure your car gets where it needs to go and will walk you through all the steps to make it a smooth move! We have shipped many cars to the UK and Germany as well as several to Bahrain, I cannot imagine using anyone else. Jack, Paul, Miron and April all made my job a lot easier for over 18 years

Estimated Transit Time
The average time it takes to ship heavy machinery to Sierra Leone from the United States is approximately three weeks once the ship sets sail.
Documents Required to Ship Heavy Machinery to Sierra Leone
You will be required to provide the bill of sale.
Customs Broker Information
Listed on the Bill of Lading, we will assign a Customs Clearance broker for you.
How Much is Import Tax?
Your Customs Clearance broker, the person who oversees import taxes, will tell you the amount of import tax needed for your specific piece of equipment.
Destination Handling Charge
This is included in the Customs Clearance broker’s fee.
Vehicle Age Limits
There are no vehicle age limits on heavy machinery shipments from USA to Sierra Leone.
Shipping Method for Shipping Heavy Machinery to Sierra Leone
Our shipping vessels depart every week from the five U.S. seaports mentioned above to the one port in Sierra Leone. At this time, we only offer the RoRo method for heavy machinery shipments to Sierra Leone. Container shipping is not available.
RoRo Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)
With this method, the equipment you are shipping must roll onto and off of the ship, which is constructed inside like a giant parking garage. We frequently transport construction vehicles, boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, and buses overseas in this manner. It features set departure and arrival dates (think: an airport) so you can rely on this method in regards to timing.
Do You Need Marine Insurance?
We urge you to get it but we don’t require it. Be mindful that you will have to pay out of pocket for any damage that happens if you don’t purchase it. We also allow you to cover your machinery for 50% or 75% of the equipment’s value rather than the full 100% if you choose.
We offer 1.75% of the value of the machinery for FULL coverage, theft, vandalism, total loss, damage with $500 deductible. Coverage begins when your machinery is loaded onto the ship until signed for at the arrival port. Total Loss for 1.25% charge for the value of the machinery.
At Ship Overseas, our goal is to make the heavy machinery shipping process to Sierra Leone from the USA as easy as possible. Call us to ask more questions or to get a quote toll free at 888-805-4994 or 858-547-0840.
