Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Johannesburg to Hong Kong

Hong Kong to Johannesburg by Container ship The quickest way to get from Hong Kong to Johannesburg by ship will take about 22 days 21h and departs from Shekou (CNSHK) and arrives into Durban (ZADUR). There are vessels departing 2-4 times a week on this route.

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.

The importer of any vehicle for personal use into Hong Kong is required by law to file an import return to the Customs and Excise Department within 30 days of the importation of the vehicle. Although no duties are payable on arrival, you will have to pay a registration tax.
