Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Singapore to Zurich

Singapore's car law centers on the Certificate of Entitlement (COE), which grants vehicle ownership for 10 years ; after this period, owners must deregister the car, sell it, or pay to renew the COE for another 5 or 10 years, with renewal costs based on the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) to manage limited road space and traffic.
