A box was needed; the less volume the box the cheaper! bike had to be asbolutely clean; no fuel, battery disconnected. No dangerous goods and a special importation admission is needed for USA. Admission takes at least 3 weeks (20 working days!). Form to fill out can be ordered at: impo...@epa.gov, David Hurlin is the man in charge for that.
Once back home had to prove that bike was not in USA anymore;
In Acnhorage I had to phone around to find the Cargo company as Apextrans did not know that in advance. but then it was easy. It is located at the old airport (nearby the "normal" airport (Pegasus Aviation Services, 3901 Old International Airport Rd, Anchorage, AK 99502. homeland security checked the bike for dirt!! after their ok had to go to the customs to have it registered.
Apextrans has these information now as well ;-)
