Shipping Cost from Singapore to Hong Kong

After 10 years, cars in Singapore cannot be driven on Singapore roads unless the COE is renewed. It is illegal to drive a car without valid COE. There are several options available that must be decided before the COE expires. Namely, renewing the COE and selling/scrapping your car.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.

The importer of any vehicle for personal use into Hong Kong is required by law to file an import return to the Customs and Excise Department within 30 days of the importation of the vehicle. Although no duties are payable on arrival, you will have to pay a registration tax.
