Shipping a Hyundai Tucson by Container from Incheon to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

A buyer in Tanzania asked us to find an SUV in his desired specification. While searching for a matching vehicle, we found a well-maintained silver 2010 Hyundai Tucson (this generation is sold in Korea as the Tucson ix, and as the ix35 in some markets), purchased it, inspected it, and handled the sale and shipment. The Tucson is a compact SUV with a steady following in African markets thanks to its durability and easy parts availability.

How was it shipped?
The vehicle was loaded into a container at Incheon port and sent to the port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Container shipping offers the highest level of protection, as the vehicle is lashed with heavy-duty straps and the container is sealed. The journey from Incheon to Dar es Salaam took about 30 days.

Why could the buyer purchase with confidence?
Before the sale, we filmed a video of the vehicle to show its actual condition and disclosed every detail about its quality fully and accurately. From sourcing a vehicle that matched the buyer's requirements through purchase and shipment, we kept the whole process transparent so the deal could be completed on trust.
