Container is usually the cheapest option, and we do the partial disassembly needed to make the machine fit. How we containerize heavy equipment

What sells at Yoder & Frey 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 Yoder & Frey

1. 1Pay the invoice before the last day of the sale ends; a check without a bank letter will hold the release.
2. 2Collect the notarized export invoice and the Passout at the registration office, or ask us to collect them with the machine.
3. 3Send us the invoice, the yard and the lot numbers. We plan the pickup inside one week, or two weeks at Kissimmee.
4. 4We 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.
5. 5We 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.
6. 6For 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.
7. 7We send you the bill of lading and the documents your customs broker needs to clear the machine at destination.

How we work with Yoder & Frey

• Our driver shows the Passout at the gate; Yoder & Frey issues it only after every lot on the invoice is paid.
• The yard is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and may open on a Saturday during auction time, which we ask about when the window is tight.
• Kissimmee has a second auction yard, Jeff Martin's at 5000 Oren Brown Road, so the dispatch always names Yoder & Frey and the Southport Road address.

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.
