Auto Shipping To Hawaii

by drorklar

Hawaii poses a unique set of challenges to shipping an
automobile. The import procedure is the same as anywhere else in
the United States but the actual physical delivery of the vehicle
requires some additional work.

Hawaii, even though it's considered one state, is made up of
five separate islands that all have a different port of call. If
you are moving to one of these islands you can't just tell a
shipping company that you need auto shipping to Hawaii. It's
necessary to be more specific.

The main port of entry for imports is Honolulu at the island of
Oahu. This harbor services the capitol city and is the normal
import point for most goods that are brought into Hawaii by ship.
If you are auto shipping to Hawaii and you have your vehicle sent
to Honolulu it is possible to transport it to another island by
ferry without having to pay another duty or import tax.

Other available ports are Hilo on the island of Hawaii, Kahului
on Maui, Kawaihe on Hawaii, Nawiilwili on Kauai, Kaunakakai on
Mologai and Kaumalapau on Lanai. If you are going to Hawaii for
the first time check with your shipping company to make sure you
send your car to the port nearest to where you will be staying.

Taxes and fees for auto shipping to Hawaii differ based on the
point of origin. If you are shipping from another state and have
already paid excise tax in that state there will be no additional
duty when you reach Hawaii. The exception to this is a purchase
of a vehicle made less than ninety days before shipping. If your
car is a new acquisition you will have to pay a Hawaii use tax
unless you can prove that it was purchased to be used elsewhere
and the auto shipping to Hawaii is incidental.

If you are importing a car from another country into Hawaii you
will be subject to duty tax assessed by the United States Customs
office. As with any other international import, remove all
personal items and anything that might be considered a taxable or
contraband item from the vehicle before shipping. Your auto
shipping company should be able to tell you what the import tax
will be when you reach Hawaii.

Car dealers and military personnel are the only people not
subject to a use tax in Hawaii, but they may be subject to import
or duty tax depending on the number of vehicles being shipped.
This is the area where it becomes crucial to have a reliable auto
shipping company handle your affairs. Find someone with
experience and knowledge in the area of fees and services when
you ship a vehicle. It's going to be expensive no matter what you
do, but a quality shipping company can help you avoid unnecessary
costs and headaches.
