Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from New York, New York to Hong Kong

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.

Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.

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.
