FOR EXPORTERS
Dispatch & Logistics for Vehicle Exporters
Transparent pricing. You pay the carrier rate + our service fee. No markups, no hidden costs.
Why Exporters Choose Y7
- Carrier rate passed through at cost — zero markup on transport
- Our fee covers: CD listing, carrier vetting, dispatch, BOL/gate pass, monitoring
- Carrier payments handled by Y7 at no extra fee: Y7 pays the carriers it assigns to your loads, so the funds for those carriers are confirmed before a load is dispatched
- Dedicated account manager for 10+ vehicles/month
Dealers who also want the auction purchase and the ocean arranged can use the full cycle from US auctions to Poti, with licensed partners of Y7 Group under direct agreements.
What Y7 Checks Before Each Dispatch
Before each dispatch, Y7 checks both the carrier company and the specific driver assigned to the load:
- FMCSA operating authority: We confirm the carrier's authority is active at the time of that dispatch.
- Current certificate of insurance (COI): We check the carrier's current COI before assigning the load.
- Central Dispatch reviews and history: We review the carrier's record on the industry's load board.
- Assigned driver's license: We check the license of the specific driver who will collect the vehicle, not only the carrier company's details.
- Assigned driver's direct phone number: We confirm a direct phone number for the driver who will transport the vehicle.
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 own warehouses, not a generic port list. Onboarding: you send your company details, the export warehouses Y7 will deliver to, and each warehouse's receiving instructions. Y7 runs a test order to confirm the workflow; after that, an order sent from the email address you register is accepted automatically into Y7's listing queue after an operator checks it.
Notifications in your channel
Order received → an operator checks it and it enters the listing queue. Once the Central Dispatch listing is created, you get a notification in your channel (Telegram, the same email thread, or the portal) and follow every order status in your Y7 account. Carrier assigned → the same notification, configured with each client so it lands in your channel the right way.
Domestic legs compared
Before every export listing, you and your freight forwarder nominate the warehouses that can receive the vehicle. Y7 compares the domestic legs using current transport rates; when you share your ocean rates per destination, we present them in the same total-cost comparison. For complex routes, we can run parallel listings to two nominated warehouses so carrier pricing informs your decision. Y7 then quotes and coordinates the domestic move to the warehouse you select.
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). The Baltimore leg falls in a shorter distance band than the Newark leg, and in Y7's measured carrier rates the shorter band costs less, so inland, Baltimore wins. But if your ocean rate to the destination is $120 better ex-Newark, Newark wins the total. Your freight forwarder or ocean carrier sets that ocean rate and collects the payment; Y7 does neither. Y7 prepares this comparison to inform the route choice you make with your freight forwarder; once you nominate the warehouse, we quote and coordinate the domestic leg. The full US-leg cost stack, with carrier-rate medians from Y7's own dispatches, is in our measured auction-to-port cost breakdown.
Carrier-rate medians for each distance band, with their period, are in the measured auction-to-port cost breakdown linked above. Prices move with fuel, season and driver availability; a guide, not a quote.

STANDALONE SERVICE
Certificates of Origin for EU-bound vehicles
Under EU Regulation 2026/1455, US-built vehicles enter the EU at 0% import duty from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2029; 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 for US-built vehicles runs until 31 December 2029.
COMMON DESTINATIONS
Where we send vehicles most often
Two export lanes have their own guides: the EU ports of Rotterdam, Thessaloniki, Varna and Burgas, and Poti in Georgia. Each covers the US leg Y7 runs and the point where your freight forwarder takes over. For every other market, from the Baltic to the Caucasus, Central Asia and West Africa, see auction-to-port transport for dealers abroad.
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?
Y7 does not store or hold vehicles: the port warehouse handles storage after drop-off. Each port warehouse sets its own free window and daily storage rate; ask your warehouse or forwarder. The port warehouse sets and collects those charges; Y7 does neither. 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. If the truck arrives and the vehicle is not released, the carrier charges a dry-run fee. The carrier sets it per load; Y7 passes it through at cost and adds nothing. We push status updates via email and Telegram so you know exactly where your vehicle sits in the pipeline. Prices move with fuel, season and driver availability; a guide, not a quote.
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. Y7's dispatchers deliver to the port warehouses at each of these ports routinely and know their receiving requirements. Y7 does not operate a warehouse or keep a preferred warehouse network: you or your forwarder choose the warehouse.
How do you handle inoperable export vehicles?
Same as domestic inop. A non-running vehicle adds $100–300 to the carrier rate for winch loading; a vehicle that cannot roll needs forklift or roll-back loading, which is quoted separately. This is part of the carrier rate, not a Y7 fee. 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. Prices move with fuel, season and driver availability; a guide, not a quote.
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?
Transparent: the carrier rate plus a flat fee. You see the carrier rate from Central Dispatch, and Y7 adds a flat $50 dispatch fee per vehicle, shown as its own line. No markup on the carrier rate. Exporters are invoiced for Y7's $50 dispatch fee weekly, every two weeks or monthly. Carrier payments work differently: Y7 pays the carriers it assigns to your loads, so the funds for those carriers are confirmed before a load is dispatched. Carrier-payment handling is included in the $50 fee, with no processing surcharge. Y7 accepts wire transfer, ACH, Zelle, Venmo and PayPal; no cards. ACH, Zelle and Venmo need a US bank account, so a company outside the US pays by wire transfer or PayPal.
What does the Exporter Program setup include?
Four layers configured per client: an agreed intake channel (structured email, Telegram, or the portal), your nominated warehouses preloaded in our system, order notifications in your channel, and routing analysis that compares the domestic legs and informs the warehouse choice you make with your freight forwarder.
Can you integrate with our CRM?
API integration with your own CRM is available on request. We build it after you send your technical specification.
Can Y7 arrange the auction purchase and the ocean leg as well?
Y7 Logistics itself arranges only the US inland leg. Dealers who want the whole chain can use the full cycle of Y7 Group, where licensed partners provide auction access and ocean carriage to Poti under direct agreements; see Import from the USA, turnkey.
