Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lagos to Stockholm

You apply to the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) for verification of the origin of your car. Once the origin has been verified, you must contact a car inspection service for a registration inspection. The Swedish Transport Agency has drawn up a checklist for the import of vehicles.

Shipping a car from the US to Nigeria generally costs between $1,100 and $8,000+, depending heavily on the method ( RoRo vs. container), size, origin US port, and destination Nigerian port, with RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) being cheaper ($2k-$5k) and container shipping more expensive, plus significant extra costs for Nigerian customs, duties, and port fees. Expect total transit times of 40-60 days, but always get quotes from several shippers for accurate pricing.
