IronPlanet: International exports

See our FAQs for information on how to export your purchase.


The seller is not required to dismantle any part of equipment for transportation. However, some sellers or storing agents may offer their services for dismantling for an additional fee. The buyer must make the request with the seller or storing agent. Contact information for the seller will be provided once IronPlanet has received full payment for item(s) purchased. Any additional fees will have to be negotiated and paid to the seller or storing agent. IronPlanet will take no part in arranging dismantling unless otherwise stated on our website.

IronPlanet cannot provide additional dimensions and/or specifications on equipment above that which is provided in our inspection reports. Buyers may obtain dimensions and/or specifications by contacting the original equipment manufacturer, or visiting the manufacturer’s website, contacting dealers in your area or doing your own search on the Internet. A buyer should work with their transportation company to review common references for dimensions. The seller may choose to assist you with additional information, but remember, the seller is not required to provide any additional information about the equipment.

IronPlanet will provide you with the seller’s contact information once you have made full payment. You can also find this information, after full payment is made, on our website by accessing the Transportation Authorization link located in the Post Sale Info page for that item.

The buyer must remove the equipment from Seller’s premises no later than eight (8) business days after the auction closes. After the 8th business day, the seller is allowed to charge the buyer storage fees. After sixty (60) days, the equipment may be deemed abandoned and disposed of with all storage fees and full commissions deducted from proceeds. (Please refer to our Full Length Terms and Conditions: section V. Completion of Transactions under Buyer Removal of Equipment for additional information)

IronPlanet has available to our buyers through our third party Transportation Partners a list of transportation companies that will assist in overseas shipping. Many of these companies will also provide you with non-binding transportation estimates before the auction and after the auction. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer, IronPlanet itself does not coordinate or transport equipment. Please contact us if you are interested in receiving more information on transportation.

In addition to the bid amount, you will be responsible for the transaction fee and any applicable state and local sales taxes. Please see Terms and Fees for more information.

Additionally, you will be responsible for the full cost of transportation payable directly to the company you hire to transport the equipment.
