How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Motorcycle from the USA to the Marshall Islands?
Shipping costs vary depending on several factors, including:
- Motorcycle size and weight
- Shipping method
- Port of departure
- Additional services (insurance, crating, door delivery)
Because the Marshall Islands are remote, sea freight remains the most common and budget-friendly option. Air freight is available for time-sensitive or high-value motorcycles.
Shipping Methods
You can choose from three secure and efficient transport options:
1. Air Freight
The fastest way to ship a motorcycle internationally. Ideal for urgent deliveries, premium motorcycles, or situations where speed is top priority. Delivery typically ranges from 7 to 14 days.
2. Sea Freight
The most economical and widely used option. Motorcycles travel inside containers or on RoRo vessels, depending on your preference and budget.
3. Crated Shipping
For riders who want maximum protection, crated shipping places the motorcycle inside a custom-built crate for added security during ocean or air transport.

- Inspection and Registration: Required before the motorcycle can legally operate within the Marshall Islands.

Additional Services for Peace of Mind
