Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Riga to Moscow

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.

However, such goods may not be imported into Russia without the difference in import duty rates being paid. The current customs duty rates on new passenger cars are harmonised and are 30% of the customs value of the car, but not less than 1.2 – 2.8 Euros (EUR) per cubic metre of engine capacity.

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.
