Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Hong Kong to Antananarivo

An imported vehicle capable of carrying more than ten people is subject to 20% customs duty and 20% value-added tax, while lighter vehicles are subject to a 15% reduction under the IEPA (Interim Economic Partnership Agreement). Note that the import of a disabled vehicle is exempt from VAT.

Import Tax and Duty Explained If you have lived in Hong Kong at least 12 months and owned the car at least 6 months of that period, there is zero tax and zero duty to pay. If the car is over ten years of age and you have not previously owned it then expect 10% duty on a current value for the car and 20% VAT.

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.
