Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Guayaquil to Dhaka

The amount of money you must pay for import duties is always debatable. However, you can anticipate spending about 25% in charges and 15% in VAT to bring a private car with an engine size of 1500cc into Bangladesh. A supplementary duty, an advance income tax, and a regular duty are possible additional taxes.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.
