Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Athens to Hong Kong

The importer of any vehicle for personal use into Hong Kong is required by law to file an import return to the Customs and Excise Department within 30 days of the importation of the vehicle. Although no duties are payable on arrival, you will have to pay a registration tax.

Shipping a car by plane is very expensive, costing anywhere from $2,000 to over $30,000, depending heavily on distance (domestic vs. international) and vehicle size, making it 5-10 times pricier than ground transport, typically reserved for luxury or time-sensitive moves. Domestic flights might start around $2,000-$4,000, while international trips can easily reach $15,000-$100,000+, with larger SUVs or luxury cars costing much more due to weight and space.

Shipping to Hong Kong varies widely, from around $15-$30 for small, slow packages (USPS Economy/MyUS) to $40-$90+ for faster options (UPS/DHL/FedEx), depending heavily on weight, speed, and carrier, with large freight potentially costing hundreds or more. For a 1lb package from the US, budget options start under $20, while a 5lb package might be $30-$70, and air freight for heavier items starts at $140+.
