I too have worked in the Auto Industry and now worked in the shipping industry. I am also very familiar with Kirkham Motorsports. I can tell you that as soon as the container hits the US port of call it will be loaded on a truck and sent to Salt Lake City. I still believe the containers for Kirkham Motorsports clear custonms in Salt Lake City. But I do know that Kirkhams have a well established relationship with customs and the cars come through regularly so that should be no problem. I do know that in the shipping world the there is a big difference between a car hauler ship and a container ship. But with any ship there can be delays due to engine problems, dock traffic and anything else. My schedule to work on these ships is always changing from hour to hour.

Have you called Kirkham Motorsports? I can easily get through to them during regular business hours. This forum is not the place to be trying to contact them. It is not the most efficient mode of conversation. Hope all goes well with your car and I can assure you will get answers just maybe not the answers you want to hear.
