What sells at Taylor & Martin and how it ships

The cheapest way to ship a typical unit of each machine type sold here, whole and without disassembly, and the port it leaves from.

Smaller units often fit a container, and partial disassembly can move a machine down a rung. Your quote uses the lot's actual dimensions.

After you win at Taylor & Martin

1. 1Pay within 24 hours. Certified funds get the title mailed within 2 banking days instead of 15.
2. 2Send us the invoice and confirm where the title will be sent; U.S. Customs needs the original title before export.
3. 3We collect the machine, load it with our own carrier and take it to the port, or first to our facility if it needs partial disassembly to fit a container.
4. 4We file the export declaration (EEI) in the Automated Export System. It is required when any Schedule B line is worth more than $2,500 or needs an export license, and its ITN confirmation goes to the carrier at least 24 hours before the vessel loads.
5. 5For titled machines and vehicles, the original title and the EEI go to U.S. Customs at the port at least 72 hours before export. Without them the unit cannot sail.
6. 6We send you the bill of lading and the documents your customs broker needs to clear the machine at destination.

How we work with Taylor & Martin

• Titles are mailed 15 banking days after the auction, or within 2 with certified funds or a bank letter of guarantee, so we book the sailing for after the title arrives.
• Storage starts on day 11 at $10 per item per day and rises to $30 from day 21, so trucks move to the port inside the 10 days and wait for the title there if needed.

At every yard we book the pickup, load with our own insured carriers, block and brace the machine, file the export declaration, and take it apart for a container when that is cheaper than shipping it whole.
