Ship a car, machinery or cargo from the USA to Morocco

In a container, booked with the licensed carrier rather than through a broker. Container protects the vehicle and lets you put more than one in the same box. Cassandra Logistics is FMC-licensed under OTI No. 025125NF and issues the bill of lading in its own name, so there is nobody between you and the party responsible for the container. Get a price in 24 to 48 hours.

We do, as a licensed US NVOCC. We collect from any state, load and brace at our own warehouse in New Jersey, Savannah, Houston or Baltimore, file the US export declaration and ship to Casablanca, Tanger Med, Agadir or Nador.

Yes. Nationwide pickup and towing from any state, whether the vehicle is at an auction yard, a dealer or a private seller. Non-runners are routine and get winched rather than driven. Distance changes the price, not whether we can do it.

Yes, and most people on this lane do. You never need to be in the United States. We handle collection from the seller, loading, the export filing and the ocean leg. Your transitaire in Morocco handles clearance at the other end.

Yes, and it is a strong part of this lane. Excavators, loaders, generators and industrial plant bought at Ritchie Bros., IronPlanet or Purple Wave. Depending on size we ship containerised, on flat-rack or by heavy haulage, with dismantling where the dimensions require it. See the equipment guide.

Yes. Full container relocations are regular work on this route, both for Moroccans returning from the States and Americans moving to Morocco. Everything gets declared properly on the export filing so your agent has a clean inventory to clear against.

Yes. Full container commercial freight from any US origin, including building materials, spare parts, equipment and trade goods. Tell us the commodity, weight and volume and we will quote it the same way we would a vehicle.

Usually yes, and for a relocation it is often the sensible move since it is one booking instead of two. They are assessed differently at Moroccan customs so both need declaring accurately. Send us the full contents when you ask for a price and we will file it correctly from the start.

It depends on where the cargo starts in the States, the container size, and which Moroccan port. Because we are the NVOCC and not a reseller, the figure you get is the carrier rate. Send us the cargo and the two cities for a firm number. Request a quote

Fill the container. Ocean freight is charged on the box rather than per vehicle, so two or three cars in one 40ft costs far less each than one shipped alone. If you are buying more than one, or know somebody else importing to the same city, tell us and we will look at loading them together.

Collection from the US seller, transport to our warehouse, loading and bracing, the US export filing, and the ocean freight to your Moroccan port. Moroccan duties, taxes, port charges, your transitaire's fee and inland delivery sit outside it and are paid at that end.

Usually because they are broker prices that move once the booking is real, or they leave out collection, loading or the export declaration. Ask any cheaper quote what is excluded and who issues the bill of lading. If they cannot issue one in their own name, they are reselling somebody else's space.

It scales with the distance from the seller to whichever of our four warehouses suits the routing. East Coast purchases position most cheaply for Mediterranean sailings. We build the figure into the quote so you are comparing one complete number rather than a base rate plus surprises.

Customs duties and VAT, port handling, your transitaire's fee and inland transport. These are assessed by the ADII and charged in Morocco. Where a returning-resident regime applies the duty position can be very different, which is worth establishing with your agent before you ship rather than after.

For a single vehicle or a modest shipment, a 20ft usually costs less and you are not paying for empty space. From two vehicles or a full household upward, the 40ft normally wins per unit. Send us dimensions and weight and we will price both rather than guess.

Yes. The ADII operates specific regimes for Moroccans resident abroad, including admission temporaire and definitive import with an abatement for those who qualify. Eligibility depends on your residence history, how long the vehicle has been in your name and whether the return is permanent. Confirm your position with a transitaire before buying.

It is the customs regime that lets a Moroccan resident abroad bring a vehicle into Morocco for a defined period without paying import duty, on the understanding it leaves again or is regularised. There are conditions attached, including restrictions on disposing of the vehicle. Your transitaire confirms what applies to you.

There is an abatement regime for qualifying Moroccans resident abroad importing a personal vehicle definitively, which reduces the assessed value used to calculate duties and taxes. The criteria are strict and include a commitment not to sell the vehicle for a set period. It is not automatic and it changes, so verify before you commit money.

It varies by port and season. Tanger Med generally moves fastest and has dedicated capacity during the summer return period, while other ports can be slower at peak times. Your transitaire drives this, not us. What we can do is make sure the documents reaching them are clean and consistent.

Typically the bill of lading we issue, the vehicle title or ownership document, the purchase invoice, your identification and residence evidence, and whatever the specific regime requires. Discrepancies between documents are the most common cause of delay anywhere, so get them consistent before the vessel sails.

Loaded on its own wheels, chocked, strapped at the wheels or suspension rather than over the bodywork, and blocked so it cannot move at sea. Where the straps attach is the difference between a careful load and a damaged car, particularly on original paint and underside.

Yes. We photograph the vehicle or cargo when it reaches our warehouse and again once it is loaded and braced, before the doors close. On anything valuable that record is also what supports a claim if something goes wrong in transit.

On anything worth real money, yes. Carrier liability is limited by convention and is not based on what your cargo is actually worth. Marine cargo insurance covers the real value. Photograph everything thoroughly before it leaves the USA either way.

Agricultural and earth-moving equipment is commonly required to arrive free of soil and plant residue because of pest controls, and this applies widely across the region. Steam cleaning before loading costs very little against the risk of a machine being held at the port for cleaning at your expense.

Within 24 to 48 hours in normal cases. Send what you are shipping, where it is in the United States, and the Moroccan city. For a vehicle include the VIN if you have it, and for machinery the model number, because both let us confirm dimensions instead of estimating.

It depends on the US loading port, the carrier schedule and whether the routing is direct or transships through a Mediterranean hub, which is common. We give you a concrete timeline with the quote rather than a generic range, because on this lane the routing varies more than the distance suggests.

We arrange collection, bring the cargo to our warehouse, confirm and photograph the condition, book the container, load and brace it, file the US export declaration and send you the bill of lading. You pass that to your transitaire, who handles the Moroccan side.

We are the NVOCC. Cassandra Logistics is a federally licensed Ocean Transportation Intermediary under FMC licence OTI No. 025125NF, legally Royal Port Container Lines, Inc. That number is public and you can check it with the Federal Maritime Commission before you send anyone money.

Morocco applies conditions to vehicle imports and treats commercial imports differently from the returning-resident regimes. Rather than print a rule that may have moved, we will tell you what we know at quote stage and your transitaire confirms it. What we will not do is ship you a vehicle that cannot be cleared.

A licensed transitaire in Morocco, not us. We are the ocean carrier, we deliver to the port of discharge, and we provide the documentation your agent needs. On the returning-resident regimes especially, an agent who knows that specific process is worth having.
