Default Container/bike/stuff

Prob been mentioned before, but if I get a container fill it with all the house stuff etc, can in also stick my motorcycles & air rifles in too. Will I just have to declare it on a form to save paying some "auto" shipping type extra cash. Not the rifles, the motorcycles, has anyone done this, any tips? Thanks.

Yep everything can go in the same container, I assume you mean a motorbike??
that will have to be crated seperately but it'll go in the container with everything else.
Just drain all the fluids( fuel, oil & coolant)

we stuck our car in, just had to make sure the battery was disconnected and it had no fuel in it. Shipping company will have the low down and the legal requirements you will need to allow import.

here's some info for the motor bike

as for the air rifle not sure if this is of any use:

but as again the shipping company should be able to help you on this

For my motorbike, we only drained the fuel, not the coolant and oil. It was easy peasy to import, just make sure it's shiney clean and smells of Jeyes fluid

Then when it arrives just wheel em out then take for all tests, wof etc? By crating up, does this mean just crating around the bike, or a full on box??
