Does Wave deliver exporters' vehicles to the Port of Jacksonville?
Yes. Wave delivers exporters' vehicles to the Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT) in Florida, after arranging pickup from individual sellers, dealers and auctions.
Wave also handles the paperwork exporters need for export. Wave's own transport is within the continental United States and ends at the port or at a third-party logistics (3PL) shipping company's yard. It does not include ocean shipping. JAXPORT does not run one vehicle gate. Its hours page says: "JAXPORT terminals are open every day of the year but port tenants and operators establish their own operating hours at their gated facilities." That is why the table below is organized by terminal and by tenant.

Which JAXPORT terminals handle vehicles, and what does a delivering truck need at each?
JAXPORT's tenant list names AMPORTS at Blount Island and Dames Point and Crowley at Talleyrand, and only Crowley's own page states vehicle-receiving hours.
JAXPORT's port access page says drivers entering a restricted access area to pick up or drop off cargo must have three things: "Proof of business purpose (Bill of Lading or other official order documents)"; "A valid Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) or a TWIC Escort"; and "Valid, laminated, government-issued photo ID for all passengers (Temporary paper licenses are only accepted when accompanied by the original expired ID card.)" JAXPORT's hours page says it encourages drivers to contact tenants directly to confirm their operating hours.

When Wave's delivery to the Port of Jacksonville is NOT the right choice
If you need the vehicle carried across the ocean, Wave is not the right choice, because Wave's transport is within the continental United States and ends at the port or the 3PL yard.
If you buy vehicles on behalf of several dealers rather than for export, wholesale vehicle transport is the closer match. A dealer moving its own stock belongs on the dealer page.
What Wave does for exporters at the Port of Jacksonville, and what the federal export rule requires
Wave arranges and delivers exporters' vehicles to the Port of Jacksonville and/or a 3PL shipping company's yard, and handles the paperwork exporters need for export.
Federal export rules apply at every U.S. port, not only this one. CBP's page (last modified Jan 07, 2026) says the Census Bureau requires Electronic Export Information for every used self-propelled vehicle to be filed in the Automated Export System 72 hours before export, regardless of destination, value or condition. Under 19 CFR 192.2 (eCFR text checked October 2026), the owner of a U.S.-titled vehicle must give Customs the original title or a certified copy plus two complete copies, and a leased vehicle or one with a recorded lien also needs a separate signed writing from the third party saying the vehicle may be exported. CBP's used-vehicle FAQ, dated May 13, 2016, says civil penalties may be imposed for failing to file export information, filing it late, or filing false or misleading information.
