Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Cotonou to Shenzhen

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.

Eligibility to import a car into China Only holders of “Z” visas – permanent residence cards, can import a vehicle. Only legal residents are allowed to import a car. Among them, only those who have “foreign expert status” which is provided by the PSB (Public Security Bureau) and the visa departments can import a car.

The Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) service is a favored choice for shipping cars from the USA to Cotonou. It allows vehicles to be driven directly onto the ship in the USA and off again at Cotonou Port, offering an efficient and cost-effective transport solution.
