Car and Furniture Shipping Company from Saudi Arabia to Hungary 0506688227 The Question Is Not What Your Car Costs but Whether It Can Be Registered at All
Guide summary

Shipping cars and household goods from Saudi Arabia to Hungary via Adriatic ports. While the question regarding the vehicle at previous destinations was simply "How much does it cost?", the question here is far more critical: "Can it even be registered?" This is because any vehicle registered in Hungary must possess European type-approval—something a vehicle manufactured for a market outside the EU may never have obtained. Furthermore, a vehicle bearing non-EU/non-Hungarian license plates cannot be used for an extended period and may be administratively withdrawn from circulation.

Looking for a shipping company from Saudi Arabia to Hungary that will tell you the truth about your car before you ship it? Tiger Cargo Express ships furniture, vehicles and cargo to Budapest, Debrecen, Szeged, Győr and the rest of Hungary — by sea, rail and air, with dismantling, packing and reassembly, customs clearance at both ends, and insurance on the load. To book: 0506688227

At every previous destination in this series the vehicle question was the same: “what does it cost?” A registration tax in Denmark, an excise duty in Poland, a chain of inspections in Sweden. All figures and routes — but all of them payable.

Here the question is graver: “can it be registered at all?”

Because every car registered in Hungary must hold a valid European type approval. And a vehicle built for a non-EU market may never have received one — not because it is old or faulty, but simply because it was not built for this market.

And this is the first lane in our entire series where the right answer may be: do not ship it.

What do we ship from Saudi Arabia to Hungary?

Traffic dominated by students, people relocating for industry and tech roles, and families.

Household furnitureA whole home in a single container — and this is the calm part of the Hungarian file.
Cars and vehiclesThe item we open every call with — and on which we may advise you not to ship.
Students’ belongingsHungary is a major study destination for Arab students — smaller consignments, faster to schedule.
Work relocationsAutomotive, electronics and pharma draw in staff — and such moves usually come with short notice.
Commercial cargoCompany container loads — and Hungary is a central industrial position in the region.
Diplomatic mission shipmentsBudapest — and the main obstacle in this article does not apply to its vehicles.

European type approval — the obstacle nobody mentions

Read this section twice before booking a container for your car.

Car shipping from Saudi Arabia to Hungary with a vehicle on an inspection ramp in Budapest
The inspection and approval yard — where registrability is actually decided.

A European type approval is a document issued by a competent authority confirming that a particular model conforms to the technical, environmental and safety specifications adopted across the European Union. It is granted to the model, not to the individual vehicle.

And the problem is simple to state and heavy in effect: a manufacturer applies for that approval for the models it intends to sell in Europe. Models built specifically for Gulf, American or Asian markets may never have had a European approval applied for at all.

And why is this graver than any tax?
Because a tax is a figure you pay. This is a condition you may not be able to meet.

A vehicle whose model holds no European approval needs an alternative route known as “nationalisation” — a multi-step process that may involve technical modifications, inspections and an individual approval. It may succeed, it may drag on, and its cost may exceed the vehicle’s own value.

And until then a third-country-plated vehicle may not be used for long in the context of permanent residence. A breach can lead to fines, and as far as the vehicle being administratively withdrawn from circulation.

Three separate authorities — and a gap at any one stops the vehicle

CustomsImporting and clearing the vehicle — the one stage many people assume is the whole of it.
The approval and inspection authorityThe decisive stage — it determines whether your model is registrable at all, and by which route.
The registration authorityIssuing plates and documents — and it does not move until everything before it is complete.

What matters is that these are separate authorities, not a single window. Each asks for what concerns it, and a gap at any one stops the vehicle even if the rest is satisfied. Anyone assuming that customs clearance means the car is now “in Hungary” has finished the first of three stages.

What we do instead of selling you a shipment
We ask for the chassis number and technical data before any talk of containers, and review your specific model’s position: does it have an approved European counterpart? What is its emissions level? Does it carry a conforming catalytic converter?

Then we put two plain scenarios in front of you: a workable route with its cost and duration, or a long route that may not be worth it. And if it is the second we will say so clearly — even if it loses us an entire vehicle shipment.

Because the worst thing that can happen to you on this lane is not a late shipment, but a car that has reached Budapest which you can neither register nor send back.

The vehicle route — if we decide to proceed

1 — Review the model firstChassis number, technical data and emissions — and two scenarios in figures before any booking.
2 — Documentation and shippingTitle, purchase invoice and registration documents, with lashing for the sea and road legs.
3 — Clearance then approvalCustoms clearance, then the nationalisation route, technical inspection and emissions certificate.
4 — Registration tax and platesA registration tax calculated on engine capacity and emissions, then plates and insurance.
Personal documents that precede all of it
The registration route does not begin at all before you hold a Hungarian tax number and an address card. These are personal documents with nothing to do with shipping — but their absence freezes the whole file.

Which is why we ask about your residence position early, and schedule the vehicle’s arrival around your documents’ readiness rather than the container’s.

A note on this section
What we set out is the framework as we work with it in practice; rules and standards are updated from time to time and every model is assessed individually. So we review your vehicle’s position with you before booking. We prepare the file and coordinate the timing — we do not promise an approval or a registration that is not ours to give, and we do not provide legal or tax advice.

The entry port — and Hungary has no coast

After the weight of the vehicle file, here is something in your favour: Hungary’s maritime position is excellent for anyone coming from Suez.

Hungary is landlocked, but it is close to the Adriatic — closer than any country in our group after Austria. And we come out of the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean with the Adriatic ports directly ahead, whereas heading for the northern ports means crossing the whole Mediterranean, then the Atlantic, then coming back down south by road.

Port Sea and location When it suits you best
⭐ Koper The Adriatic — Slovenia The default choice — Hungary accounts for around twelve per cent of its throughput
Rijeka The Adriatic — Croatia A good Adriatic alternative by schedule — and it serves southern Hungary
Trieste The Adriatic — Italy The third Adriatic option — with a strong rail network inland
Hamburg The North Sea — Germany More frequent schedules — but the longest from Suez and the furthest by road
A double advantage you do not find at every destination
The Adriatic here is shorter by sea and shorter by land at once. It is closer to us from Suez, and closer to Budapest than the northern ports. That combination is rare — at other destinations the port nearest by sea was further by road, or the reverse.

Which is why inland haulage in Hungary is among the cheapest items in this group if you choose the right port. From it a rail network runs to inland terminals in Budapest, Győr and Debrecen, then a short truck run to your door.

Conditions for removal goods relief in Hungary

And here we can reassure you: the furniture file is entirely calm, unlike the vehicle file. Hungary is an EU member and applies its framework for removal goods relief.

Condition What it means in practice
Residence outside the Union Twelve continuous months before the move — evidenced by documents.
Prior ownership and use Used goods in reasonable household quantities — new items in original packaging assessed separately.
Transfer of normal residence Hungary is your main home — furniture for an investment property is not relieved.
Arrival within the deadline A set period from your move date — measured to your door, not to the quay.
Tax number and address card The basis of official dealings in Hungary — and required for the vehicle file too.
Restriction on disposal Goods admitted under relief cannot be sold or lent for a set period after import without prior notification.

And we repeat what we said for Czechia because it concerns all landlocked countries: the relief deadline does not stop when the ship berths, as a road or rail leg still lies ahead. Which is why our quote gives you two dates: the berthing and the delivery to your door.

Shipping for embassies, consulates and their staff

The only category to which this article’s entire obstacle does not apply.

Shipments for diplomatic and consular missions and their staff do not go through the removal goods route and are not bound by its conditions — not the one-year residence condition, not the arrival deadline, and not the restriction on disposal. The basis here is the status of the mission or of your accreditation with it.

And the decisive difference falls on the vehicle
A diplomatic vehicle is registered under a separate system on plates of its own class, and does not pass through the ordinary civil registration route.

Which means the European type approval requirement — the obstacle that has occupied half this guide — does not apply to it in the same way. A Gulf-spec vehicle may be impossible to register civilly, while its diplomatic counterpart follows an entirely different route.

That makes the gap between the two routes in Hungary among the widest we have met in this series — and treating a diplomatic shipment with the logic of a private one here is not merely a procedural error but one that can immobilise a vehicle with no need.

Official mission cargoOffice furniture, fit-out, equipment and vehicles in the mission’s name — the consignee is the mission itself.
Accredited staff effectsFurniture, personal effects and a vehicle for the diplomat and family, at the start of a posting or at its end.
Administrative and technical staffTreatment may differ from that of a diplomatic agent, set by the accreditation category and its period.
  • ▸ We start with the mission’s administrative department, not with the individual — the official correspondence is the foundation of the file.
  • ▸ We do not put a diplomatic vehicle through a nationalisation route that does not concern it, nor request an approval that does not apply.
  • ▸ We match consignee name and title between the correspondence and the bill of lading word for word before issuing it.
  • ▸ We schedule sailing around the accreditation date rather than around when the furniture is ready.
  • ▸ We document the inventory to a higher standard and hand it over endorsed by both sides.
  • ▸ We handle everything in confidence — information, contents and movement schedules alike.

And we are clear: what the exemption covers and how far it extends is for the competent authorities in the receiving state to determine, and the mission has its own official channels. Our role is purely logistical. We work in both directions: foreign missions in the Kingdom, and Saudi missions in Hungary.

Furniture moving from Saudi Arabia to Hungary

And here the file is far simpler than anything you have read so far.

Furniture moving from Saudi Arabia to Hungary with delivery at a Budapest apartment entrance
The furniture file is calm — the difficulty all sits in another file.

Furniture needs no approval, no nationalisation and no technical inspection. It needs an accurate inventory, evidence of prior use and arrival within the deadline — and that is all. Which is why we tell many of our Hungary-bound clients: ship your furniture with confidence, and think twice about your car.

  • ▸ Survey and assessment: volume in cubic metres, and deciding what is dismantled and what needs a crate.
  • ▸ Professional dismantling: bedrooms, kitchens and shelving — full dismantling cuts volume, and volume is your invoice.
  • ▸ Lashing that allows for the road leg: the load is secured for road and rail, not for sea alone — Hungary has no coast.
  • ▸ Multi-layer packing: bubble, then blankets, then stretch film, with glass and mirrors in lined crates.
  • ▸ Protection against temperature swing: hot continental summers and sharp winters — a wide range that affects timber.
  • ▸ Treated and stamped timber crates: a European condition of entry — applied to every crate we build.
  • ▸ Unpacking and reassembly: in your new home — not boxes left at the door.

Three ways to ship — sea, rail and air

A container train crossing the Hungarian plain from the Adriatic ports
From the Adriatic to the Hungarian plain — a relatively short land leg in this group.
Sea then railThe most efficient route for most shipments: a vessel to an Adriatic port, then a train to an inland terminal in Budapest, Győr or Debrecen, then a short truck run. And the distance is relatively short compared with the rest of the group.
Sea then direct roadA truck from the port straight to your address with no intermediate handling. Faster and more precise on dates, and very sensible here because the Adriatic-to-Budapest distance is reasonable.
AirFor urgent consignments and sensitive pieces. Days rather than weeks, priced by volumetric weight. It bypasses both stages and lands directly at an airport inside the country.

Full container or shared load?

Aspect Full container Shared load
When it suits you A whole home, a vehicle, or volume close to container capacity A small flat or a student’s belongings — very common on this lane
In a landlocked country Moves inland as it is, with no stripping at the port — less handling Stripped at the foreign port and your goods reloaded — extra handling
Transit Shorter — no waiting for a load to fill and no deconsolidation Longer — consolidation, then deconsolidation, then inland transport
Cost A fixed rate — better value the closer you get to filling it Per cubic metre — and the right fit for student shipments

A note specific to the Hungarian market: a large share of our shipments there are student shipments — a room’s or small flat’s furniture, books and devices. A shared load is the right choice for them without hesitation, and the inland leg is reasonable because the Adriatic distance is short.

Shipping prices from Saudi Arabia to Hungary

Indicative figures — the final quote is built on the survey and on the entry port chosen.

Shipment type Price range Unit and notes
Shared load (LCL) Request a quote — set by survey Per cubic metre with a minimum — the right fit for student shipments
20ft container Request a quote — set by survey Suits a mid-sized flat, or a vehicle with belongings
40ft container Request a quote — set by survey Suits a full house, or two vehicles
⭐ Port to your door Set in the quote, by your destination A principal line — but among this group’s cheapest if you enter via the Adriatic
Car shipping Request a quote — set by survey Freight only — excluding nationalisation, inspection and registration tax
⭐ Individual approval and nationalisation Set after your file is reviewed Varies sharply by model — estimated after reviewing the chassis number, not before
Why we give no figure in the last row
Because the cost of the nationalisation route cannot be estimated apart from the model. A vehicle with an approved European counterpart may follow a short route; a vehicle with no counterpart may need modifications, inspections and an individual approval whose cost exceeds its market value.

Any company writing a figure here before seeing your chassis number is writing a guess. What we do instead: review your model first, then give an estimate based on its position — or tell you plainly that the route is not worth it.

What actually sets your price?

Whether a vehicle is includedThe heaviest item by far — its effect lands after the shipping, and it may overturn the decision entirely.
The entry port chosenThe Adriatic saves on both sea and land — and the gap against Hamburg is felt in both.
Volume, not weightSea freight is priced by cubic metre. A light sofa takes more room than a heavy box of books.
Your city within HungaryBudapest is close to the Adriatic; Debrecen in the east is further — and the difference is costed.
Your customs positionTransferring residence, a student, or furnishing a property? The difference in the final invoice is large.
Delivery difficultyBudapest’s old buildings with narrow lift-free stairs — an item costed in advance.

Documents required for shipping to Hungary

Documents required for shipping from Saudi Arabia to Hungary and the European type approval certificate
Two files of very different weight: one that passes, and one that is examined.
The shipment and furniture fileA bill of lading with an explicit Hungarian destination · the detailed valued inventory · passport and visa or residence permit · evidence of previous residence outside the Union · the tax number and address card · timber treatment certificates · clearance authorisation.
The vehicle file — examined before bookingThe chassis number · full technical data · the emissions level · a European certificate of conformity if the model has one · title and purchase invoice · Saudi registration documents and insurance.
The number we ask for in the first minute
Your vehicle’s chassis number. From it we know the model, the year and the market it was built for — and that alone reveals whether it has an approved European counterpart.

And we ask for it before any talk of containers and dates, because its answer may change the whole recommendation. Anyone starting with volume and port and only reaching this question late has built a plan on a foundation that may not hold.

Customs clearance and standing charges

We handle clearance at both ends. A container has a limited free period starting from discharge rather than from your notification, after which a daily charge applies for it remaining and another for late return to the shipping line.

And clearance here ends nothing in the vehicle file
This point bears repeating: customs clearance is the first of three stages in the vehicle file. After it come the approval and inspection route, then registration.

Anyone celebrating the end of clearance believing their car has “entered Hungary” has completed a third of the journey. Which is why we arrange secure parking for the vehicle through the approval stage and cost it as a declared line — because it is a real period in which the vehicle may not be used.

Prohibited and restricted items

  • ▸ Flammables and pressurised goods: aerosols, paints, solvents, fuel and gas — excluded entirely.
  • ▸ Alcohol and tobacco: outside the removal goods relief, with their own excise regime.
  • ▸ New items in original packaging: the prior-use condition is examined and new goods are assessed separately.
  • ▸ Liquids liable to freeze: a continental item — any liquid that may freeze, expand and burst its container during the road leg.
  • ▸ Food and animal or plant products: tightly restricted under European sanitary and phytosanitary controls.
  • ▸ Plants, seeds and soil: effectively prohibited, and soil residue on garden tools triggers inspection.
  • ▸ Weapons, ammunition and replicas: including souvenirs — with their own permit regime.
  • ▸ Untreated timber: every crate and pallet needs approved treatment and marking.

Packing and insurance

The challenge here is twofold: a sea voyage then a road or rail journey across borders. Add to both a continental climate with a wide range between hot summers and sharp winters.

Lashed for both stagesVibration on rail and road loosens anything not properly secured — we secure for both, not one.
Timber and the temperature rangeA continental climate combines severe heat and severe cold — harder on timber than a steady mild one.
Glass and mirrorsLined crates — and the handling at the quay-to-train transfer raises the need for them.
Cover that extends across bordersYour shipment crosses countries after the port — we verify in writing that the policy covers the full road leg.

Inland delivery after the port

  • ▸ Budapest’s old buildings: narrow stairs, no lift and spiral staircases — very common in the city.
  • ▸ Internal courtyards: many Hungarian buildings have a courtyard and a narrow entrance — measured before delivery day.
  • ▸ Restricted historic centres: limits on large vehicle access — the permit is arranged in advance.
  • ▸ The distance east: Debrecen and Nyíregyháza are further from the Adriatic — costed as a separate line.
  • ▸ Local working hours: the delivery window is built on the actual hours in your area rather than a general assumption.

The reverse direction — Hungary to Saudi Arabia

We work both directions on the same ports and routes. Hungary is an active industrial base, so outbound traffic is wide: automotive parts, electronics, industrial equipment and pharmaceutical products, alongside returnees’ effects.

Note too that Saudi import restrictions follow their own logic, particularly for cosmetics and foodstuffs — we review your list before loading in both directions.

How to choose a shipping company to Hungary

“Does my model have a European approval?”The key question on this lane. Anyone who does not understand it will ship you a car that may not register.
“Did you ask for my chassis number before booking?”Anyone booking you a container before seeing the chassis number is selling you a shipment, not a solution.
“How many authorities does my car pass through?”The answer is three, not one. Anyone saying “customs and that’s it” does not know this lane.
“Have you costed the Adriatic for me?”Hungary is around twelve per cent of Koper. Anyone who never mentions it has not costed your route.
“Where does my car stand during approval?”A question that reveals who has actually run this route — it is a real period with no permitted use.
“Would you advise me not to ship it?”Anyone who never raises that possibility is selling a line item and not looking at your interest.

How to lower the cost of your shipment

  • ▸ Settle the car decision first, using its chassis number. The biggest possible saving on this lane is not shipping it if its route is long.
  • ▸ Ask about the Adriatic specifically. At this destination it saves you on both the sea and the land leg.
  • ▸ A shared load is an excellent option here. Especially for students — and the short land leg keeps it light.
  • ▸ Get your tax number and address card early. Their absence freezes the whole file and lengthens standing time.
  • ▸ Sort before you pack. Every cubic metre is paid for twice here: at sea and on land.
  • ▸ Allow full dismantling. It cuts volume appreciably, and volume is the invoice.
  • ▸ Describe your building’s entrance. An internal courtyard? A lift-free spiral staircase? Discovering it on delivery day costs far more.

When do rates rise and transits lengthen?

Period What happens
August and September The biggest student season — heavy pressure on shared loads to Hungary specifically.
Peak import season Pressure on Adriatic berths and on inland train capacity at the same time.
Year-end holidays An extended administrative pause — affecting the approval and inspection bodies, not just customs.
Deep winter Slower roads on the mountain passes between the Adriatic and the Hungarian plain — we allow a margin.
Disruption on sea lanes Rerouting lengthens transit and moves rates — we tell you as soon as we know.

How we work: five steps

1The chassis number above allReviewing your model’s position and its European approval — and two plain scenarios before any booking.
2A quote with a three-part timelineThe port comparison, two delivery dates, and the three authorities with their real dates.
3Packing for both stagesDismantling, packing and the inventory, with lashing that allows for rail and road, not sea alone.
4Clearance then the approval routeCustoms clearance, secure parking for the vehicle, and step-by-step follow-up with the approval body.
5Registration and deliveryPlates and insurance, and delivery to your door with reassembly and an inventory check.

Five recurring mistakes — all avoidable

  • ▸ Assuming it is only a question of cost. The mistake most specific to Hungary — the question may be “can it register” rather than “what does it cost”.
  • ▸ Shipping the vehicle before reviewing the model. The chassis number is reviewed in Saudi Arabia, not after the container berths at Koper.
  • ▸ Believing clearance ends the vehicle file. It is the first of three stages — approval and then registration follow.
  • ▸ Continuing to drive on third-country plates. Not permitted for long — and it can lead to fines and administrative withdrawal.
  • ▸ Delaying the tax number and address card. Two personal documents that freeze the whole file if missing.

Why Tiger Cargo Express?

Because we may tell you not to ship it. That sentence loses an entire vehicle shipment — but it prevents the worst thing that can happen to you on this lane: a car that has reached Budapest which you can neither register nor send back.

And we ask for your chassis number in the first minute rather than after booking, and put two scenarios in figures in front of you. Anyone who books you a container and then starts looking for a registration route for your car has sold you a shipment, not a solution.

Frequently asked questions about shipping from Saudi Arabia to Hungary

How long does a shipment from Saudi Arabia to Hungary take?The transit is two stages, not one. The sea leg to an Adriatic port runs around three to four weeks, and to Hamburg five to seven days longer. Then the inland stage is added — and it is relatively short from the Adriatic to Budapest. We give you two dates: the berthing and the delivery to your door.
Can I register my Gulf-spec car in Hungary?Not necessarily — and this is the most important line in this guide. Every car registered in Hungary must hold a valid European type approval, and a vehicle built for a non-EU market may never have received one. It then needs a multi-step nationalisation route that may succeed, may drag on, and may cost more than the vehicle’s value. Which is why we review your chassis number before any booking.
What exactly is “European type approval”?A document confirming that a particular model conforms to the technical, environmental and safety specifications adopted across the Union. It is granted to the model, not the individual vehicle. Manufacturers apply for it for models they intend to sell in Europe — models built specifically for Gulf markets may never have had one applied for. This is not a defect in your car; it is that it was not built for this market.
Can I drive on my Saudi plates in the meantime?Not for long. A third-country-plated vehicle may not be used in the context of permanent residence except within a narrow scope. A breach can lead to fines, and as far as the vehicle being administratively withdrawn from circulation. Which is why we arrange secure parking through the approval stage and cost it as a declared line.
How many authorities does my vehicle pass through?Three separate authorities: customs for import and clearance, then the approval body with the technical inspection and emissions certificate, then the registration authority issuing plates. It is not a single window — a gap at any one stops the vehicle even if the rest is satisfied. Anyone assuming clearance means the car has “entered Hungary” has finished a third of the journey.
What does the nationalisation route cost?We give no figure before seeing your chassis number — and any company that does is writing a guess. A vehicle with an approved European counterpart may follow a short route; one with no counterpart may need modifications, inspections and an individual approval costing more than its market value. We review your model first, then give an estimate based on its position.
And what about furniture and household goods?That file is entirely calm, unlike the vehicle. Hungary applies the European framework for removal goods relief: residence outside the Union for twelve continuous months, prior ownership and use in household quantities, an actual transfer of residence, and arrival within the deadline. Furniture needs no approval, no nationalisation and no inspection. Which is why we tell many clients: ship your furniture with confidence and think twice about your car.
Hungary is landlocked — so where does my shipment enter?Through a port in another country, and Hungary’s position is excellent for anyone coming from Suez. The Adriatic ports — Koper, Rijeka and Trieste — are close by sea and by land alike. Hungary accounts for around twelve per cent of the port of Koper’s throughput, which alone tells you where your shipment should enter. Hamburg remains an option but is the longest from Suez and the furthest by road.
I am a student with a small shipment — what suits me?A shared load without hesitation. A large share of our shipments to Hungary are student shipments — a room’s or small flat’s furniture, books and devices. Pricing is per cubic metre, and the inland leg is reasonable because the Adriatic distance is short. Note that August and September are the peak, so book early.
What are the tax number and address card?Two personal documents that form the basis of any official dealing in Hungary — and the vehicle registration route does not begin at all before you hold them. They have nothing to do with shipping, but their absence freezes the whole file and lengthens your vehicle’s standing time. Which is why we ask about your residence position early and schedule arrival around your documents’ readiness.
Do you handle embassy and consulate shipments?Yes, and it is an independent category not bound by the removal goods conditions. The decisive difference here is that a diplomatic vehicle is registered under a separate system on plates of its own class, so it does not pass through the civil registration route — meaning the European approval requirement does not apply to it in the same way. That makes the gap between the two routes in Hungary among the widest we have met in this series.
Do you ship from Hungary to Saudi Arabia?Yes, on the same ports and routes. Hungary is an active industrial base, so outbound traffic is wide: automotive parts, electronics, industrial equipment and pharmaceutical products alongside returnees’ effects. We review your list before loading because Saudi import restrictions follow their own logic, particularly for cosmetics and foodstuffs.

In summary

Shipping to Hungary is two files of very different weight. The furniture is calm under a familiar European framework, and Hungary’s maritime position is excellent for anyone coming from Suez because the Adriatic saves on both sea and land. The vehicle’s question, however, differs from everything before it: not “what does it cost” but “can it be registered at all” — because a European type approval is a condition, and a car built for a non-EU market may not carry one. Three things matter here: a chassis-number review before booking, a timeline for the three authorities, and a straight recommendation even when it is “do not ship it”. Tiger Cargo Express gives you all three before you ship.
