Project managing heavy machinery transportation to another country

Exporting heavy machinery can be a daunting task, especially if you have not managed this type of project before. In addition to knowledge of engineering, you will also need to have an understanding of international machinery shipping requirements, local laws related to tax and duties, as well as knowledge of customs documentation and procedures. This can be quite complex, and it can be easy to miss or wrongly interpret important rules and regulations.
