Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Boston, Massachusetts to Almaty

Vehicle Customs Clearance Cost in Kazakhstan Since 2020, the customs duty rate for all vehicles has been set at 15%, while electric vehicles are subject to a 0% rate (this benefit will remain in effect until the end of 2025).

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.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.
