When shipping an auto US Customs inspects the original title. With these shipping form you have a “Power of Attorney” which is an authorization from the “Shipper” or “Consignee” for the shipping of the auto and for AbleCargo.Com to art as your “export agent” with an acknowledgment of our “terms and conditions”
If your name does not appear on the title as the owner you should be entered on the “new owner” section. You and the previous owner must have signed and dated the title
