3. Professional Export Crating

Before international shipment, both restored Vespa VBB Sidecars underwent professional export preparation in Vietnam. Each scooter was carefully secured inside a custom-built wooden crate, with proper stabilization methods applied to reduce movement during ocean freight and handling. This export crating process is designed to protect restored vintage vehicles during long-distance international transportation from Vietnam to overseas collectors.
