Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Taipei to Port Moresby

Import Procedures In addition to freight and insurance costs, there is also import Excise duties which can, depending on the size of the motor, range from 20%-120% of the vehicles import value. On top of this Import GST of 10% is also collected at the time of import.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking in the off-season, allowing flexible pickup/delivery times, and comparing quotes from multiple companies like those found on platforms such as uShip or Shiply * *, though you should be wary of rock-bottom prices that might signal poor service.
