Shipping

It takes us about 60 to 75 days to restore a custom built Chang Jiang 750 sidecar or solo motorcycle after receiving the first deposit. It take about 45 days to ship it from our shop in China to any entry port in USA.

All of our client's custom built motorcycles will ship from "Tian Jing" port, China, by container cargo ship to the nearest entry port of your destination. We also ship the motorcycles to the USA, Europe, Japan and rest of the world.

Our export freight and brokerage company have discounted account status with the most popular container cargo ship liner. Usually, our freight rate is the lowest in the industry. Our clients pay exactly the cost for the shipment. We do not markup extra charges on freight cost. We make profit by providing our clients with the best quality vintage motorcycles and first class services. On average, we exchange more than 50 emails, phone calls and express mail with each of our clients before we deliver the motorcycles to them. Please be prepared to write a lot of emails. We want our clients to et exactly what they want and what they paid for! It is no wonder many of our clients became friends with us after we did the business!

Method One: Full service. We can arrange a "door to door" freight company for a client. Client only needs to pay a few hundred dollars extra, our brokerage and freight company take care the rest: like Chinese government inspection, freight sea and inland, customs and customs bonds, customs clearance, warehouse to your doorstep freight service. Some times it makes sense to take the worry out of your mind if the money is not an issue.

Method Two: Do it your self. We take care of a client's shipping from China to their destination port in US, then the client takes care of the customs clearance and local freighting to his or her door step.

Shipment cost example 1: about $1300.00 for bike with sidecar, about $1100.00 for solo bike (seasonal and nonseasonal price is different) from "Tian Jing port China" to "Boston port USA".

Shipment cost example 2: about $1200.00 (seasonal and no seasonal price is different) from "Tian Jiang port China" to "Any port Italy".

You are very welcome and encourage by us to use your own freight and brokerage company if you can find someone to do it cheaper and smoother than us. If you do so, we only charge $100.00 for the packaging and related inspection fee to cover our cost. It costs us about $100.00 to build a sturdy wood crate to ship our client's motorcycles.

We provide all the documents our clients needs to do the customs clearance by themselves or by the broker they hire.

Most first time buyers from us were very nervous about how to import a motorcycle from China. Why not?! We totally understood that. They usually worry about "Does this 1938 designed motorcycle meets all the standards of D.O.T or EPA and what's the law to regulating this kind of motorcycle?", "Can I import it by myself or do I need a broker?", "Can I register it in my state and how?", "Does any insurance company insure it and how much is the cost?" or "How can I get my motorcycler's license" if they are really new to the wonderful sport or hobby of motorcycling. Don't worry, be happy! Every thing is quite easy. It just takes time. Please send an email to Mr. Lee with any questions on your mind. Mr. Lee will be very glad to email or call you (if you leave your phone number and speak English) to answer your questions at your convenience. Mr. Lee is the owner of this family business and has 22 years experience with the Chang Jiang 750 rider. Please see the "Contact" page for our contact information.
