Cost of shipping a vehicle from USA

As per the new laws formulated in 2013, as per Ministry of Transports in Congo, rules on the used cars have been limited to:

  • vehicles with less than 10 seats need to be lower than 10 years old
  • cars/automobiles with 10 or more seats need to be 7 years old or less

All vehicles being imported have to pay the Import Declaration Fee which is about 22.5% of the evaluated resale value of the vehicle. If you are looking to estimate the cost of the total shipping you need to factor in the import duties and taxes. On an average the VAT ranges from 8% to 13% while depending upon the size of the engine, the excise duty ranges from 8% to 46%. A1 Auto Transport service would be able to assist you with the additional details. It is important to note that only left hand driven vehicles are imported to Congo.

Documents to submit to Customs department in Congo

All shipping services and importers need to submit a host of documentation to ensure that the vehicle is brought into Congo legally. These are:

man analyzing papers in office
  • Title deed of the vehicle.
  • Original vehicle registration documents.
  • Vehicle inspection certificate.
  • Receipt of paid taxes and duties.
  • Bill of vehicle purchase.
  • Insurance certificate.
  • Proof of ownership.

Shipping methods

Although there are many ways to ship your vehicle, the most popular ways include container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-Off.

RORO shipping ensures that only an empty vehicle is shipped. Your vehicle is driven on the ship at the US port and secured in place. It is driven off at the Port of Matadi in Congo. No personal items are allowed to be kept but spare tire, jack and floor mats have to be left inside.

However, if you are shipping an expensive vehicle or additional personal items, container shipping works best. You can choose from different sized containers and even though it is more expensive than RORO, it is safer and more secure.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
