Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Lome

Import Duty: Togo imposes a 53.5% duty on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of imported cars, significantly affecting the total import cost. Age Limit: Togo does not restrict the age of cars that can be imported, allowing more flexibility in shipping older vehicles.

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.

Indeed, matriculation of vehicles at DTRF now costs CFA25500 including VAT for used cars with less than 15 horsepower, CFA35,000 for cars with more than 15 horsepower, CFA15,000 for new cars and CFA10,000 for bikes.
