Air cargo to Guam
Air cargo (air freight) is the fastest way to ship to Guam. It is ideal for clothes, documents, electronics and things you need as soon as you arrive. Prices are based on the "chargeable weight": the actual weight or the volume weight, whichever is higher, so air cargo is best for smaller, lighter shipments.

Car shipping to Guam
Cars can be shipped to Guam by RoRo (driven onto a special ship) or inside a container, which can also hold some household goods. Import duties, age limits and registration rules differ by country, so check the rules for Guam before you buy or ship a car.

- Container: more protection, and you can combine the car with household goods.
- To export a car from the USA you need the original title, and the documents must be given to U.S. Customs before the car is loaded.
