How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to Rwanda?

There is no better way to explore your new surroundings in a foreign land, than with your own personal vehicle. Fortunately, it’s possible to have your car imported from the U.S.

However, by contacting the Embassy of Rwanda, you can learn about the latest import restrictions and duty rates before booking with the transporter.

The cost of shipping services is separate from the duties owed to the country for import. Shipping services are not only cost effective, but they are affordable. Most transport companies give their customer's insurance coverage and tracking services free of charge, saving them even more money. Shipping customers may even qualify for discounts or promotions.

Pay the duties and tariffs before the transport is carried out. Show proof of payment to Customs along with the other requested documents. As long as you have everything and the car meets the country’s restrictions, you will receive a certificate of approval giving consent to ship your car to Rwanda and giving it permission to cross the border into the country.
