Shipping A Car To Nepal.
Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?
- To ship a car from the United States to Nepal usually costs from $2,500 to $5,400, with extra costs for larger vehicles that don’t fit inside a shipping container.
- The price can fluctuate a bit due to the fact that Nepal is a landlocked country and a transport truck needs to also be arranged from the port to the destination point.

Importing a vehicle into a foreign country can be an overwhelming and complex process. However, if you make sure to do a little research and hire a reputable auto shipping company, you can save yourself a lot of stress in the long run.
Nepal Customs does not allow vehicles older than 5 years to be imported into the country. All vehicles coming into Nepal must also comply with the Nepal Vehicle Mass Emission Standard, 2056(1999). As with most countries, you can avoid paying customs duties and taxes if your vehicle will be in the country on a temporary basis, in this case, less than 6 months. It is imperative that you check the customs website prior to arranging to ship because the rules and regulations regarding car import policies are constantly changing.

Required Documents For Shipping A Vehicle To Nepal
- Commercial Invoice- must show engine number, model information, and chassis number.
- Current Registration.
- Car Ownership Certificate.
- Passport.
- Bill of lading.
- Driver's license.
- Customs permit.
- Vehicle permit.
Upon reaching customs, you will be required to pay customs duties and taxes based on the CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight) value of the vehicle. These fees vary, but they can be upwards of 140% of the CIF. There is also a Vehicle Added Tax (VAT) of 13% that will impose at this time as well.
Diplomats and privileged individuals are exempt from paying any taxes or customs fees so long as they can prove their status. Temporary importation is the only other option for avoiding these costs as they apply only to those who keep their vehicles in the country permanently.
Summarily, it is in your best interest to consult directly with the Nepal Customs department prior to making accommodations to ship your vehicle and make sure you enlist the help of a trustworthy car shipper.

The Variety of Ways to Safely Ship Heavy & Large Cargo to Nepal
Reliant on the type of cargo you intend to ship to Nepal, there are several ways to go about having it safely transported overseas. When you call in to receive your free quote or to schedule your shipping process, we will inform you of all your options as according to the information you provide us with. Here is what we have to offer in international shipping options…

- Lift On/Lift Off is a common form of open air transport for inoperable vehicles, crated cargo and construction equipment. This service lifts your equipment using a crane to put it on and take it off of the vessel.
- Roll On/Roll Off is the cheapest way to deliver heavy equipment or oversized cargo internationally. This open air service requires your equipment or vehicle to drive on the ship as well as off the ship during the process of delivery.
- Flat Rack shipping is also a familiar form of open air international transport that secures your cargo to a large metal frame to prevent it from shifting during its delivery. If poor weather conditions are relevant, your cargo may be shielded with shrink wrap.
- Container shipping isn’t always an option for those with oversized cargo, unless it can fit into a 40ft container. This is the most expensive and secure form of shipping A1 has to offer.
