The preparation of your snowmobile is an essential step to ensure its safety and to maintain its condition throughout its trip. This preparation is not only about protecting the snowmobile but also about ensuring a smooth shipping process. Here are the steps to take ahead of the shipment: 

 

  1. Clean Your Snowmobile: Pay attention to removing dirt and grime from all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas like under the carriage and the engine bay.
  2. Document the Condition: Take detailed, clear pictures of your snowmobile from multiple angles, ensuring all parts of the vehicle are visible. Record serial numbers and any unique identifiers of your snowmobile.
  3. Secure Loose Parts:  Identify and secure any detachable parts that could potentially become loose during transit, like mirrors, flags, storage racks, or custom modifications.
  4. Check and Manage Fluids: Ensure the fuel tank is less than a quarter full to minimize the risk of leakage and reduce fire hazards. Disconnect and secure the battery to prevent power drain and potential short circuits during shipping. 
  5. Conduct a Mechanical Check: Verify that the brakes are functioning properly and that the suspension system is in good condition. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the recommended levels, too! 

If you are taking your snowmobile to an international destination, paperwork will be added to this list of preparation needs. Here's a brief overview of the essential paperwork:

  • Proof of ownership
  • Bill of sale 
  • Export declaration
  • Commercial invoice, if applicable
  • Shipping contract
  • Insurance documents
  • Customs forms and declarations
  • Import/export permits, if applicable

After booking with us for an international shipment, we discuss your specific needs. This is because each country may have different regulations and documentation needs for importing vehicles like snowmobiles. Preparing these documents in advance and ensuring they are accurately completed can help avoid delays or issues during the shipping process.

Conclusion

Remember, every snowmobile is unique, and so are its shipping needs! That's why everything we do is personalized and to decrease stress for our beloved customers. Contact us today to learn how we can work together to ship your snowmobile.
