Shipping Cost from Buenos Aires to Ho Chi Minh City

Regarding types of vehicles allowed to be driven into Vietnam, under Decree 151, foreign-plated vehicles permitted for participation in traffic in Vietnam include passenger cars of up to eight seats (excluding the driver's), both left-hand drive and right-hand drive, motorhomes and two-wheeled motorcycles.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Vietnam car import taxes are complex, involving high Import Duties ( up to 70% from non-FTA nations), a 10% VAT, and a steep Special Consumption Tax (SCT) that can exceed 100% for luxury vehicles, plus registration fees, making imported cars very expensive, though Free Trade Agreements (FTAs like ASEAN/EVFTA) offer reduced duties for specific regions and vehicles (especially EVs/green tech).
