Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Addis Ababa to Riga

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.

Motor Vehicles Only left-hand drive vehicles can be imported. Vehicles with tinted windows cannot be imported. Vehicles are subject to taxes. Current Ethiopian residents cannot import vehicles.

Cars are very expensive in Ethiopia, both to purchase and to import because they are heavily taxed. Usually it'll be around 200% the value of the vehicle but it depends on the engine size etc.
