For Argentina or to anywhere, always a motor-vehicle is considered as “Dangerous Cargo Goods” and only will impact on the freight price, nothing to do with that….
In a Ro-Ro will be also considered as “Dangerous ..” but if you come as Passenger on same boat will be also “accompany luggage” what make the entry a lot simpler.
But as far I know there isn’t a RO-RO service from the Orient, and the only one that take passengers (only 12 by trip) are from Europe, Grimaldi Ferries.
Like I told you first look for Air Freight, just ask the international airlines cargo departments in your area to point you with the right forwarders.
Cheers

1) Francoise will contact you. As he needs an agent in Buenos Aires ,, if he gets to ship it there.
2) Ro-Ro service between Korea-Japan and Peru - Colombia,, bringing in cars is avaliable ,, sailing end of this month.
3) Chile and Argentina is the only two country giving headche.

Rest assured ,, people had NO problem sending bikes to Argentina till April of this year ,, All of a sudden they are refusing the bikes in a LCL basis.
4) Air cargo quote from DB Schenkers and Korea Express is USD 8,000 and USD 5,000.

Be wary folks ,, sending a used bike in a shipping container, to Argentina, from Korea is very diffecult, unless you hire a whole container.

1) Ok
2) Don’t know that service, you was talking about Argentina.
3) Your shippers in Korea give you headache, NOT Chile and Argentina.
(Try to Brazil or Venezuela and you will have more than a headache)
Please, be assured that travellers had no problems to bring bikes and others vehicles for tourist purposes to Argentina till TODAY and NOBODY here is refusing to receive a bike even on a LCL container, only has to bring their own Bill of Lading (BL).
4) We don’t have recently experience with shipping TO Korea, but we had shipped from Buenos Aires to Japan and to Russia a few bikes by air freight the last months and no one pay more that USD 3.000 as maximum. Usually to Southamerica is a little more expensive but not in that percentage…
At those prices, be sure that the mentioned forwarders are ripping you off.

Beware you that you aren’t talking to the right companies and because they can not fill a container to Argentina they are giving you fake excuses or ridiculous prices for Air Freight…

Please, bear on mind that maybe isn’t the intention but you are giving other people false information that will affect their plans and / or make them worry on the basis of something with what you don’t have firsthand knowledge…..

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
