Bikes out of Vladivostok
In 2004 I traveled through Siberia to Vladivostok. From Vladivostok I shipped my bike by ferry to Fushiki, Japan, without any problem. I used shipping agent BIS, located behind the railway station. One of the employees, Irene, handled all the paperwork in two mornings. She asked for her service $100. Apart from this fee I paid $90 for my own ticket and $100 for shipping the bike. Crating wasn't necessary.
If you have problems, contact the horizonsUnlimited community in Vladivostok. They are very helpfull and have assisted many motorbikers with shipping problems.
If you ship to Japan you should know that Japan demands on authentication document for your Carnet de Passage. This document is processed by the Japanese Automboile Federation (JAF). JAF has an office in Toyama, near Fushiki.
Have good travels, Mart
