Shipping Cost from London to Cotonou

Shipping a car from the USA to Cotonou, Benin, typically costs between $1,252 and $1,852. Importing a car into Cotonou also incurs additional charges, including a duty on the vehicle's value plus local charges ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 in Cotonou.

Cotonou is called the "mouth of the river of death" (or "by the river of death") in the Fon language, a name originating from its historical role in the slave trade, where captured people were brought to the coast via the river (or lagoon) and shipped away, meaning they never returned to their families. The name signifies the end of the line for enslaved people, who faced death or exile, and also refers to dangerous waters for navigation and potentially a lagoon historically used for burials.

On average, costs for furniture shipping to the USA range from £1,026 to £9000 depending on the size of your shipment, the value of your goods, your required services and your exact destination in America.
