Compared to moving a car within the U.S., exporting a car internationally has some extra steps involved due to the logistics, laws, customs paperwork and taxes involved. At its simplest, moving a car to Vietnam involves four main steps:
- Location To Port - Before having a car moved internationally, it needs to be moved to a port, where it can then be delivered to the country of destination. In some cases, a client may opt to drive the vehicle to the port themselves, rather than hire a transport company to handle the first leg of the trip. Most companies (including this one) will handle both the mainland and international side of transport, which is preferable to including two different companies in the process.
- Shipping Paperwork - Shipping an automobile to Vietnam requires some documentation but it is not too onerous if you want the delivery to go smoothly. When you hire us to transport your car to Vietnam we will double-check all the arrangements to make sure you have a smooth ride.
- Port To Port - This is the real work of moving a car to Vietnam. Shipping cars from a U.S. port to Vietnam is typically done in one of two ways: with the vehicle secured inside of a container that is loaded aboard a ship, or by driving the car onto a boat and securing it on the deck (known as RORO shipping or “roll on, roll off” transport.
- Taxes & Duties - Like many of the countries of Southeast Asia, that taxes on auto imports in Vietnam are typically on the high end and it’s important to deal with an auto transport company that has a complete understanding of them. Our team of experienced professionals has an expert grasp of all laws, duties, and taxes that apply to transporting a car to Vietnam.

Vietnam Auto Shipping Prep & Driver’s License Laws
Before having any car shipped internationally, it should be cleaned and serviced to ensure it’s in good running condition. Additionally, any external or non-permanent parts should be removed from the vehicle, as they can cause problems during a long delivery. Most companies will also ask that you completely empty the vehicle, especially if using RORO transport to Vietnam. In some cases, you may be allowed to include some additional cargo in the vehicle if it is being transported by containerized shipping.
Vietnam does not recognize the international driver’s license that many foreign countries require. As a result, you’ll need to apply for a Vietnam driver’s license when you arrive, which is not terribly complicated. Generally speaking, having a valid license from your home country will be enough for you to get a local license in Vietnam.
Required Document For Shipping A Vehicle To Vietnam
- Passport.
- Import permit.
- Registration.
- Residency card.
- Proof of ownership (original purchase invoice)
- Certificate of origin.
