They'll know everything and walk you through. Well worth the expense. Yes there are silly rules and laws, but if you are cool enough, it is not much of a chore.
I shipped a car RORO with Wallenius. When collected from the docks, the air filter was sitting in the passenger seat (and the entire intake loosened on the AFM) and the 80's CD player (worth nothing) removed entirely. Least they didn't trash the wiring taking it out...

When I went back to the desk, I was told how to file a claim - and that 6 other cars on the same ship had had no radios when unloaded. That they knew of. So far.

Shipping in a (ideally shared) container seems to work well - but ships are at sea for a long time and access for idle hands apparently isn't an issue...
