How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Motorcycle to San Marino?
Shipping costs depend on several factors: the motorcycle’s size, weight, chosen shipping method, and final delivery location in San Marino. Optional services, such as crating, insurance, and door-to-door delivery, may also influence the total cost.
Shipping Methods
- Air Freight: The fastest option, ideal for high-value or urgent shipments. Air freight ensures rapid delivery, typically within 7–14 days.
- Sea Freight: The most economical and popular choice for most motorcycle shipments. Transit time ranges from 4–7 weeks.
- Crated Shipping: Provides maximum protection by securing your motorcycle inside a custom-built crate during transit.
Customs and Duties in San Marino
Importing a motorcycle into San Marino requires compliance with local customs regulations, including import duties, VAT, and registration fees.
- Import Duty: Calculated as a percentage of the motorcycle’s CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value.
- Value Added Tax (VAT): Applied to the total landed cost.
- Inspection and Registration: Required before the motorcycle can be legally used on San Marino roads.
- Environmental and Safety Compliance: Motorcycles must meet local road safety and emissions standards.
Optional Services
To make the shipping process even smoother, consider:
- Motorcycle Crating: Adds an extra layer of protection during ocean or air transit.
- Insurance: Covers potential loss or damage during international transport.
- Door-to-Door Delivery: We manage the entire journey — from your location in the USA to your home or business in San Marino.
Required Documents: Letter of Intent, Export Power of Attorney, Title and Registration, Bill of Sale, Bill of Lading, and Insurance Documents (if applicable).
Estimated Shipping Times

Key Factors Influencing Shipping Costs
- Distance: Ports on the East Coast of the USA, such as New York, are generally closer and more cost-effective.
- Motorcycle Size & Weight: Larger or heavier bikes cost more to transport.
- Shipping Method: Air freight is faster but more expensive than sea freight.
- Extra Services: Insurance, crating, and door-to-door delivery increase the total cost.
- Customs Fees: Determined by CIF value and San Marino’s import regulations.
Tracking Your Motorcycle
With our real-time tracking system, you can monitor your motorcycle from pickup in the USA to delivery in San Marino. Features include shipment status updates, estimated arrival times, customs notifications, and delivery alerts.
Container vs. RoRo Shipping
- Container Shipping: Offers enclosed protection against weather and damage, perfect for high-value or multiple motorcycles. Motorcycles remain secured inside the container during customs inspections.
- Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Shipping: A cost-effective option where the motorcycle is rolled directly onto the vessel and securely fastened. RoRo shipping allows quick loading and unloading and is ideal for standard touring motorcycles.
