Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Lome

Import Duty: Togo imposes a 53.5% duty on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of imported cars, significantly affecting the total import cost. Age Limit: Togo does not restrict the age of cars that can be imported, allowing more flexibility in shipping older vehicles.

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.

Transit Times and Freight Rates For sea freight from Shenzhen to Los Angeles, transit times are approximately 14 days for Less than Container Load (LCL) and 11 days for Full Container Load (FCL). Conversely, shipping from Shenzhen to New York takes about 21 days for LCL and 30 days for FCL.
