Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lagos to Cairo

Importing a vehicle into Egypt involves customs duties, taxes, and other charges. Egypt has a complex duty and tax structure for imported vehicles. Rates vary significantly based on the vehicle's engine capacity, CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value, and type.

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.

Shipping a 20-foot container to Egypt averages $2,100–$4,200 ; costs vary by port, load size, and service speed. Standard port-to-port transit to Egypt takes 4–7 weeks; expedited air freight is faster but significantly more expensive.
