Shipping Cost from Houston, Texas to Abuja

Shipping a car from the U.S. to Nigeria generally costs $1,100 to $8,000, with Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) (cheaper, from $1,100-$5,000) and Container shipping (more expensive, from $3,500-$8,000) being the main methods, but the final price depends on vehicle size, departure port, and added insurance. You must also account for Nigeria's import duties (around 10% duty + 7.5% VAT) and have documents like the vehicle title and proof of ID.

Shipping from the USA to Nigeria varies widely in cost, from around $10 for small packages via USPS to hundreds or thousands for larger cargo, depending heavily on speed (days vs. weeks), carrier (USPS, FedEx, DHL, or freight forwarders), weight, size, and if you need door-to-door service, with major factors being air freight (faster, pricier) vs. ocean freight (slower, cheaper for bulk), plus potential Nigerian customs duties/taxes (5% VAT + more). Expect smaller air packages to start at $80+, while large pallets by air might be $3-$4+ per lb, and large ocean shipments (like cars/containers) can be thousands.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.
