Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Vienna to Manila

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.

Yes. Whether brand-new or used, the imported motor vehicle is subject to payment of customs duties, taxes and other charges, as follows: 1. Customs Duty.

Importing a car to the Philippines involves significant taxes: a Customs Duty (around 30% for regular cars), 12% VAT, and an Ad Valorem Tax (AVT) that varies from 15-100% based on engine size/value, plus other fees like Import Processing Fees (IPF) and Documentary Stamp Tax (DST). These are calculated on the vehicle's book/dutiable value (CIF value), not necessarily your purchase price, making it generally expensive, especially for used cars, requiring prior authority from the Bureau of Import Services (BIS).
