Shipping Cost from Kigali to Moscow

It's usually cheaper to drive your car, but shipping becomes competitive or even better for very long distances or when considering the total cost of a road trip (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the convenience and security of shipping. For short trips, driving is significantly cheaper; for cross-country moves, driving costs might approach shipping costs, making the decision dependent on your time, budget, and stress tolerance, notes.

The cheapest kind of international car shipping is a RORO vessel. This shipping method is often more affordable for shipping cars than containers or air freight. However, it also leaves your vehicle more susceptible to damage during transport to your final destination.

However, such goods may not be imported into Russia without the difference in import duty rates being paid. The current customs duty rates on new passenger cars are harmonised and are 30% of the customs value of the car, but not less than 1.2 – 2.8 Euros (EUR) per cubic metre of engine capacity.
