| Weather Exposure | High | Very High | Medium | Tarpaulin cover (Bulk); enclosed storage (port) |
| Theft/Vandalism | Medium | High | Low | GPS tracking; port security audit |
| Delay in Discharge | Low | Medium | Medium | Pre-booked customs clearance slots |
5. Recommendations
-
For High-Volume Operable Fleets:
Utilize RO-RO shipping with mandatory wax spraying. Optimal balance of speed, cost, and vehicle readiness. -
For Non-Operable or Damaged Units:
Bulk cargo remains cost-effective, but only when paired with full undercarriage wax protection and post-arrival refurbishment planning. -
For Premium Used Trucks or Specialized Equipment:
Flat Rack containers are recommended despite higher cost—superior protection justifies investment for units near $10,000 threshold. -
Standardization Requirement:
All units must undergo pre-shipment wax treatment and dry-bay inspection prior to loading. Documentation of treatment must accompany customs filings.
6. Conclusion
Exporting sub-$10,000 used trucks from China to Georgia demands a technically rigorous logistics strategy. While RO-RO offers the best operational efficiency for functional fleets, Flat Rack provides superior asset protection for higher-tier units. Bulk cargo, though economical, carries elevated risk and should be limited to non-revenue rebuild candidates. Implementation of industrial-grade wax spraying is non-negotiable for long-term durability in Georgia’s coastal and mountainous operating environments.
SEA LION International advises fleet managers and construction firms to align shipping mode selection with vehicle condition, total cost of ownership, and post-import deployment timelines.
