Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Hong Kong to Kiev

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.

Import duty is 10% of the value of the car. VAT — 20% in accordance with the current paragraph 188.1 of Article 188 of the Tax Code of Ukraine. Now VAT on cars imported to Ukraine is charged not from the value of the car itself, but according to the following scheme: car price + amount of duty (10%) + excise duty.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where your car is driven onto a specialized ship, costing less than containers but offering less protection; for more security with shared costs, consider a shared container (consolidation), while air freight is the most expensive but fastest, and platforms like uShip or Shiply help find competitive quotes from reliable carriers.
