CONFIGURED PER CLIENT
The Exporter Program
Not a generic rate card. We configure our dispatch platform around your operation: four layers, set up once. After that, every order flows the same way.
One agreed intake channel
Structured email (we provide the format: PIN or lot number in the subject line, details in the body, replies stay in the same thread), Telegram, or the client portal. Your team sends orders the way it already works.
Your warehouses, preloaded
Your export warehouses, across all states, are set up in our system from day one. Orders route against your real network, not a generic port list. Where you hold contracts with warehouse operators, direct integration with their CRM systems is available on request: scoped per integration, and a setup fee may apply depending on complexity.
Notifications in your channel
Order received → the Central Dispatch listing is created, and you see it immediately in your channel: Telegram, the same email thread, or the portal. Carrier assigned → the same notification, configured with each client so it lands in your channel the right way.
The optimal warehouse, every time
Before every export listing we automatically analyze which of your warehouses is optimal for that order. Equidistant options are compared on current transport rates; when you share your ocean rates per destination, they enter the same calculation. For complex routes we run parallel listings on two warehouses and let carrier pricing decide.
How routing decisions get made
A Copart unit in York Haven, PA can gate out through Newark (about 160 road miles) or Baltimore (about 65). On recent dispatches the Baltimore leg runs $175-215 against $230-300 to Newark. Inland, Baltimore wins. But if your ocean rate to the destination is $120 better ex-Newark, Newark wins the total. That is the analysis we run automatically before every export listing.

EXPORT DOCUMENTS
What the port warehouse expects at drop-off
- Bill of Sale / Auction Buyer's ReceiptProof that you are the vehicle's owner of record.
- Title (original, not copy)Clean title, salvage title, or ITV depending on destination country's import rules.
- Gate Pass (for auction-origin vehicles)Issued by the auction after payment clears. We coordinate this with Copart/IAAI/Manheim.
- Bill of Lading (BOL)Condition record signed at pickup and delivery. Photo attached to your portal.
- Ocean Booking NumberFrom your freight forwarder. The warehouse needs it to log your vehicle against the vessel.
- EIN / Consignee Tax ID (exporters)US EIN for domestic exporters, foreign tax ID for international consignees.
STANDALONE SERVICE
Certificates of Origin for EU-bound vehicles
Under EU Regulation 2026/1455, US-origin vehicles enter the EU at 0% import duty; proving US origin is the importer's burden, and a Certificate of Origin is the practical way to carry that proof. Y7 prepares and files the certificate as standing agent and delivers the issued eCO for your export document set. The service stands alone: transport clients use it inside their document flow, and exporters who only need the certificate can order it on its own.
$99 established exporter clients · $150 one-off request · issued eCO in 7 business days
The 0% rate runs until 31 December 2029.
COMMON DESTINATIONS
Where we send vehicles most often
Operational questions exporters ask us
How fast do you move a vehicle from auction to port?
Standard turnaround is 3-7 days from auction payment to port warehouse arrival. Copart gate passes typically clear in 1-2 business days; IAAI often same-day; Manheim 2-3 days. Transport depends on the lane — a Dallas IAAI to Port Houston is often 1 day; a Chicago Copart to Port Newark runs 3-4 days.
Do you handle the freight forwarding too?
No — we are a licensed FMCSA broker handling the domestic leg (auction → port warehouse). Your freight forwarder takes over for customs documentation, ocean booking, and vessel loading. We deliver the vehicle to their designated warehouse with a signed BOL and their booking number on the paperwork.
Can you hold a vehicle if the vessel isn't ready?
The port warehouse handles storage after drop-off. Most offer 5-7 days free storage inclusive of the drop-off day, then charge daily rates ($8-$25/day depending on the port). We time drop-off to your vessel window so storage fees are minimized.
What happens if the gate pass is delayed?
Carrier holds or re-dispatches. If a Copart gate pass is delayed by payment clearing on their side, we don't dispatch until the pass is ready — dry runs cost $100-$200 and nobody needs that. We push status updates via email and Telegram so you know exactly where your vehicle sits in the pipeline.
Do you handle containerized vs RoRo?
Our service stops at the port warehouse; whether your freight forwarder loads RoRo or books a container is their decision. Most of our exporter flow is RoRo (roll-on/roll-off), but container loads are common for multi-vehicle shipments and for destinations where RoRo vessels don't call frequently.
Which US ports do you cover?
All major vehicle-export ports: Newark (Elizabeth), Baltimore, Jacksonville, Savannah, Houston, Los Angeles/Long Beach. We have established relationships with the primary port warehouse operators at each facility, which matters when a gate pass needs a last-minute swap or a warehouse slot has to be re-booked.
How do you handle inoperable export vehicles?
Same as domestic inop — add $100-$300 above base rate depending on whether a standard winch works or forklift loading is required. Disclose condition honestly at booking; arriving at the auction with a vehicle the dispatched carrier can't load means a 2-5 day delay and a dry-run fee.
What insurance covers the domestic leg?
The carrier's cargo insurance ($100,000-$250,000 open / $250,000-$500,000 enclosed). Once the warehouse signs the BOL, custody transfers to the warehouse, then later to the ocean carrier under a separate marine policy. We don't sell or underwrite marine cargo insurance — that's your freight forwarder's domain.
Can you pick up from a dealer or residence, not just auctions?
Yes. The export flow runs the same whether origin is a Copart yard, an IAAI lot, a Manheim dealer auction, a private dealer, a residence, or a body shop. Routing is identical; only the gate pass step changes (auctions need it; dealers/residences don't).
What's your pricing model?
Cost-plus transparent. You see the carrier rate from Central Dispatch, and we add a $50 flat dispatch fee per vehicle. No hidden markup, no mystery percentage. Carrier payments are part of the service: you fund the account, Y7 pays the carrier from it and handles the financial paperwork, with no processing surcharge.
What does the Exporter Program setup include?
Four layers configured per client: an agreed intake channel (structured email, Telegram, or the portal), your warehouse network preloaded in our system, automatic order notifications in your channel, and routing analysis that picks the optimal warehouse before every export listing.
Can you work with our warehouses' own systems?
Yes. Where you hold contracts with warehouse operators, we can integrate directly with their CRM systems. Integration is available on request, scoped per case, and a setup fee may apply depending on complexity.
