Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• It’s certainly not cheap to ship a car to Lebanon from the United States: most vehicle shipments to the area are done for $3,000 to $6,200.
• For specialized or premium services, as well as vehicles larger than a standard car, you can expect to pay slightly more than you might otherwise.

Importing a vehicle into Lebanon can be a complex and involved endeavor, but by doing some research ahead of time and hiring a reputable auto transport company, it doesn’t have to be an unpleasant experience.

There are a couple options when shipping your vehicle into Lebanon that you must need to first consider.  The first is determining the length of time your vehicle will remain in the country, because if you intend to re-export it out within 6 months, you can avoid paying custom duties and taxes.  This is known as a temporary import.  If you intend to keep your vehicle in the country longer than 6 months, you will need to follow the process outlined for a permanent import.

You will be required to pay a custom duty known as the “Single Customs Duty” which is calculated based on the value of the vehicle (obtained from a universally recognized source such as Blue Book or the Super Schwache Liste).  If your vehicle’s value exceeds 20 million LBP, expect that you will owe a duty of approximately 50% of your vehicle’s value.  If the value is less than 20 million LBP, expect that your duty will be a flat fee of 5,000,000 LBP.  You may also be held liable for a local consumption duty.  In addition to the customs duties, a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 10% will imposed too.

All the values used to calculate how much you owe are determined based on the CIF total (Cost + Insurance + Freight), so make sure you have all the pertinent documents that pertain to shipping the vehicle handy at all times.

Finally, Lebanon does not allow vehicles over 8 years of age to be imported, and that age limit is currently in legislation to be reduced down to 5 years.  Consult the Lebanon Customs website prior to making arrangements to ship your vehicle to ensure all information is up to date and your vehicle qualifies.
