Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Singapore to Taipei

In Singapore, your car must be de-registered after 10 years unless you pay to renew your COE. Start the process 2-3 weeks before your COE expires. After this date, your car cannot be on the road and you could incur additional costs, like towing.

Generally, driving is cheaper than shipping for shorter distances, but the cost difference shrinks and shipping can become a better value for long hauls when factoring in hidden costs like wear & tear, time, and your own travel expenses (lodging, food). For very long trips (1000+ miles) or unreliable cars, the added costs of driving (depreciation, maintenance, fatigue) might make shipping more economical overall, say Move.org and SoFi.

Individuals who import cars for personal use should apply to the Bureau of Foreign Trade for an importation permit in advance . The following documents should be submitted to the Customs of the district of import to pay the taxes.
