Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Tokyo

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.

The average price to ship a car from USA to Turkey ranges from $1142 to $1672, and the duties to import a car to Turkey from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Turkey.

Import duty is payable at 10% of the price you paid for the vehicle plus the shipping cost. Meanwhile, VAT is calculated at 20% of the car's value plus any additional fees. The amount of taxes and import duties payable when shipping a car to Japan from the US will vary and depends on the details of your shipment.
