Moving: Automobiles
The government will ship one privately owned vehicle — an automobile, motorcycle or scooter — overseas for a service member.
The shipping limit is 20 measurement tons. One measurement ton equals 40 cubic feet. Service members must pay for tonnage over the limit, which may come into play for campers, pickup trucks, SUVs or other large vehicles.
Some countries have laws regarding vehicle upkeep and emissions. Vehicles must pass an emissions test upon arrival in most countries and on return to the U.S.
In most cases, you must deliver your vehicle to a port or vehicle-processing center, and the government will ship the vehicle to the port nearest your new duty station.
SDDC, through a private contractor, has a secure Internet system that allows you to track the whereabouts of your vehicle during its shipment at www.where ismypov.com.
