Takes 4 hours.

Ticket are issued at the port and the price is related to the motorcycle engine size.

I initially tried to ship the bike with a local shop(Lynden) and it failed miserably leaving me in Casablanca while my friends locally helped sort out getting the bike to me.

RAM cargo came through and did everything they said they would do, at the price they would do it, and helped clear customs for me in Casablanca. They have contacts in customs that makes navigating it much easier.

Anyways...I would recommend them.

Details:

647kg x 1.14 USD = 819.58 USD
+ Air Waybill = 2.00 USD
+ Dangerous goods = 80.00 USD

Cargo total = 819.58 USD

This is what you have to pay every where
Thai-Air fix price. You only can save Kg here.

+ 2x wooden boxes, tax, handling and costums
all together 180 USD.

total in Nepal : 999.58 USD.

1. In Bangkok go to the free-zone, 2Km from the airport.

2. get a pass to enter the free-zone.

3. go to Thai-Cargo in the costums area to get one
paper for each bike.

4. go out to the costums building

5. they will send you up and down for paper a few times
-- costums wont to see your carnet but dont stamp it --

6. get your box

Warning:
An Agent involved us in his buissnes, he foold us we had to pay 4700 Bat to get the bikes throw the costums. Dont give any papaer to this guys.

Usually you have to pay only about 2500 bat
(2 Bat per Kg and some handling and costum fees )
to get thebike back.

Filling station 7 Km to the left when you
leave the free zone on your bike.
And dont forget to bring a pump for your tire.

We arrived at 2 pm in the free zone and drove
out at 8 pm.

Good luck

Interfracht told us to contact Horizon Auto Service in Houston. They made all the paperwork for us. We only had to bring our bikes to the warehouse in Houston. No crate was needed. The bikes were shipped in a container. After almost 4 weeks we got our bikes in Bremerhafen back-without any problems!
We paid after everything was done.

At Israel side, the agency, ROSENFELD sold a ticket of the cargo ferry 200 euros including motorcycle. They said that charge was including everything, there would be no charge after arrival at Cyprus. I confirmed many times strongly.
I found '135 euros' written on the ticket and I asked them why. However, they got angry screaming contradicted explanation.

After arrival, the Cyprus side agency, SALAMIS required another 200 euros! (Exactly they change the price every time when I asked and rose up 200 euros finally)

The Cyprus side agency kept my passport and customs documents, so I could not help paying.

They also have another stratagem.
When we discussed at Cyprus, even though it was lunchtime, they said that today was so late, everything was tomorrow. Then they gave me a room for the night (I confirmed it was free).
The next day was Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, the customs were close. So they became bullish. In addition, they required the hotel charge that was twice of the true charge! I asked the all detailed statement, but they never gave me. (I checked the handling charge of Salamis secretly. It seemed to be 43.70 Cyprus pounds that was less than $100)

There seemed to be only one cargo ferry. Even though you get a ticket from another agency, if the ferry is 'Salamis,' you may fall into the same situation. Moreover, the insurance in Cyprus was very expensive. The minimum was $100 and a little per year. I recommend you never visit Cyprus with your vehicle.
