QuestionInsurance Question  I want to ask about the titles for cars that can be exported from the USA. Does US customs allow any car with any title to be exported out of US? Can you provide me with a list of titles that I can export out of the United States?

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

While we are unable to provide you with a list of titles you can export out of the USA or answer your specific title questions in regards to exportation of an automobile however, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) should be able to provide you with the information you need.

Their website gives information regarding exportation of motor vehicles. Here they list the basic requirements and procedures needed for exporting a vehicle from the US. The CBP exporting pamphlet states that:

To export a motor vehicle from the United States, the exporter must provide documents that demonstrate proof of ownership. In almost all cases, this will be the certificate of title. The original ownership documents, or a certified copy, and two copies must be presented to U.S. Customs.

  • If you are exporting through a land border port, you must submit the ownership documents to that port at least three days before exportation. On the date of exportation, you must present the vehicle to U.S. Customs to verify that the car being exported is the one described in the ownership documents.
  • The car will be subject to Customs inspection at the time of exportation. If the exportation is by ship or plane, both the vehicle and ownership documents must be presented to Customs at least 72 hours before lading, at which time Customs will conduct its inspection.
  • The vehicle will be authorized for export only after Customs has inspected it and certified that the ownership documents are in proper order. Your original title will then be stamped or perforated to show that your vehicle was exported from the United States.

Check with your local Customs office about acceptable ownership documentation for cases in which a title cannot be produced. Most used vehicles, however –and this includes used cars legally bought and sold in the United States—must be accompanied by the original title, or a certified copy, as proof of ownership.

Should you need additional information about exporting your vehicle, try contacting the Customs port from which you plan to export it. You can find their address and phone number by accessing the Customs Web Site at customs.gov.
