Exporting a vehicle to Malaysia

As soon as your vehicle has been prepared by UVS for export, and all documentation is in

place, we will email you and your nominated agent copies of all relevant paperwork. 

Thereafter, the vehicle will be sent to our packing warehouse in Durban. The vehicle will be loaded and braced securely and professionally in a shipping container. From there, it is moved to the shipping lines yard at Durban port and loaded onto the vessel, arriving at Port Klang. 

It is important to have all relevant documentation, permits, and duty/taxes payments processed prior to the arrival in order to avoid any unnecessary issues and complications. All original vehicle documents and the shipping Bill of Lading are couriered to you prior to dispatch.
