i shipped my KLR from melbourne to BA last year. I chose sea over air as it is cheaper. It was very efficient. The bike arrived on time and all up it cost, including all sorts of charges in BA about $2000. Actually it was cheaper to send my bike to BA than to return it to melbourne from LA by sea!

The Customs is a bit of a pain but quite easy. Be patient and it helps to Speak a bit of Spanish

They are trying to give me the costs up front to pay here in Australia otherwise you basically have no idea what the final cost will be either clearing in or shipping it back (if that is what you want to do). Shipping will take something around 50 days with shipments leaving each week. I have heard some dodgy stuff about Lima and they are insisting I arrange for my own translator. They also say that if the bike is left for more than 10 days they will confiscate it which is not so good. Valparaiso is looking easier but possible more expensive. I will be travelling on a carnet but am still looking at $1800 DDU for all the import costs, customer etc.. The freight itself is only about $300 but it's all the other costs that see to add up. I can let you know my quotes more exactly if you are interested and also my freight agent who do seem pretty good.

Cheers Sam

Possibly looking at shipping at shipping a bike to valpariso later this year.

You do realise you responded to a post that's over five years old, don't you?

I think for reasonable shipping prices, you can search on Google. There are many shipping companies, from which you can choose the best.
