How do I get my bike from Switzerland to the USA?
I am purchasing a bike in Switzerland. It is 23 years old. Registering it in Switzerland is proving to be too complicated for the amount of time I have left in the country. I would like to bring this bike back to the USA where I am a citizen. I am NOT planning to sell this bike in the US – I am really bringing it back for my own personal use (it was too good of a deal to pass up). If anyone can help with the following questions, I would be very grateful:
1) For importation to the USA, is it enough to show that I legally purchased the bike in Switzerland (but never registered it nor put a license plate on it)? 2) What paperwork do I have to prepare beforehand? 3) What can I expect to have to deal with when I pick it up in the USA? 4) Can anyone recommend shipping options or specific companies to get the bike back to the US? While I am looking forward to riding it there, I guess I should add that I am in no great hurry if a better deal requires waiting – but I am departing Switzerland on 25 August. Thanks for any help!

Hi David,
contact Wallenius Wilhelmsen (www.2wglobal.com), they shipped my bike from Bremerhaven/Germany to Port Hueneme (near L.A.), but I'm sure they offer other ports too. It took the bike 4 weeks to get there and it costed about 600$. Good luck! ------------------ -- Stefan www.coyotetrips.de
