Do you warranty your engines?  All our engines are sold AS-IS, However we do guarantee that you are purchasing the engine in the video we send. You see exactly what we see and make the decision based off of that.  We don't get history on our engines, so you will base your decision off what you see in the video, just like our techs do when running the engine first hand.

 What about ​Customs? Tex star International is not an import or customs broker. We have no part in the process of clearing or controlling customs. Any cost associated with this the sole responsibility of the purchaser. All associated documents, fees and charges are between the purchaser and freight forwarder and their affiliates.
There may be certain events that are beyond the reasonable control that could not have been prevented by our exercise of due diligence such as acts of God, acts of any governmental authority, accidents, labor strikes, etc. If we are unable to carry out, in whole or part, our obligations under this agreement that may result in interruptions of service due to such an event, we will give you notice and provide full details of the event in writing as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the event. During this period, our obligations will be suspended to the extent required.

Freight forwarders: Tex Star  International does not have an affiliation with any shipping company and does not receive any type of reimbursement or commission for shipping with one company over another. Rates for international shipping are quoted directly from info received from the representatives for that company.  With this in mind shipping rates do fluctuate with many variables such as Time of year (fumigation for certain bugs), Overall crate size (engine vs engine plus other parts), and overall weight(engine and trans combos). We will happily provide contact info if you would like to verify or ask any questions for yourself. Once it has been picked up from our shop, by the freight carrier, and is accepted at delivery by the freight forwarder and their affiliates, we are no longer responsible for your shipment and have no control over it at all.
