- Clean your vehicle thoroughly inside and outside to facilitate customs inspection procedures.

- Document your vehicle with detailed photographs and record any existing damage for carrier cargo insurance purposes.
- Remove custom accessories, loose parts, and electronic devices that could shift during transit.
- Check tire pressure and battery condition to ensure proper vehicle handling at the destination port.
- Verify registration and insurance documentation meet Hawaii requirements for vehicle importation.
