Case IH Combine to Bolivia via Iquique
In early May 2026 a US transport company hired us to export a Case IH Axial-Flow combine to Bolivia. We received the machine at the Port of Houston, washed it, and obtained the fumigation certificate. The combine was then secured on a flat rack, and an NCB inspector certified the load plan, lashing points, weight, and dimensions. With US customs export approval in hand, it sailed to the Port of Iquique, Chile, where the owner took delivery for the final leg into Bolivia.
