Shipping Cost from Antananarivo to Manama

You will have to pay a customs duty of 5% and VAT at 10% based on the value of your vehicle according to customs assessment. There is also a port handling fee to be paid. Vehicles registered over 5 years ago cannot be imported and right hand drive vehicles also cannot be imported.

The average cost to transport a vehicle ranges from $400 to over $2,000, depending heavily on distance, with shorter trips (under 500 miles) around $400-$800 and cross-country routes $1,200-$2,000+ for open transport, while enclosed carriers add 30-50% more for protection. Key factors are distance, open vs. enclosed carrier, vehicle size/weight, and seasonal demand, with higher costs for luxury/classic cars, inoperable vehicles, or expedited service.
