Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lagos to Baltimore, Maryland

TL;DR: Shipping a car to Nigeria in 2025 costs $1,500-$5,000 via RoRo or container, plus $3,000-$10,000 in duties and taxes. Total averages $5,000-$15,000. Use HS code 8703 for compliance and save with RoRo for operable vehicles.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Shipping from Nigeria to the USA typically takes a few days to several weeks, depending heavily on the method: Express Air Freight (2-7 days) is fastest for small, urgent items, while Standard Air Freight (5-10 days) is common for parcels, and Sea Freight (4-8 weeks) is best for bulk/heavy goods like furniture, with sea freight taking the longest due to transit and customs.
