Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Niamey

Shipping from Shenzhen, China to the USA varies greatly by method: Air Freight takes 3-7 days, Express Courier (like DHL/FedEx) is 1-3 days, while Sea Freight can range from 14-20 days to the West Coast (LA/Seattle) and 25-40+ days to the East Coast (NY/Charleston), with customs and last-mile delivery adding to the total time.

Shipping via sea from major Chinese ports—such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, or Ningbo—to key Nigerian ports like Apapa (Lagos) or Tincan Island generally takes 30 – 45 days.

Yes, you can buy a car in China and ship it to the US, but it's incredibly difficult and expensive due to strict US safety (NHTSA) and emissions (EPA) regulations, massive tariffs (especially for EVs), and complex paperwork, making it practically impossible for most individuals to import a modern, non-exempt Chinese-made car for road use in the US, with the only feasible route being vehicles over 25 years old.
