Do Shipping Containers Come With a Title?
Shipping containers do not have a title, but they do have a unique CSC plate on the door that shows their date of manufacture, serial number, and other details. Because there’s no title, containers are difficult to obtain standard financing for. Containers also aren’t a vehicle. They don’t have wheels, so without a chassis they’re just a box. Boxes don’t have titles.
Key points
- Shipping containers aren’t a vehicle, so they don’t have titles.
- The container will have a unique CSC plate on the door that gives key information like date of manufacture and serial number.
