Ship Car To Dhaka

Car Shipping Dhaka

Dhaka is Bangladesh's capital and is considered one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. Though facing challenges of traffic congestion, crime, and population apart from political upheaval in the recent past, Dhaka has seen an increase in direct foreign investment, which has improved employment opportunities. With extensive gas reserves, the development of industries has led to increased trade and commerce. Though undergoing significant growth in public transportation, bypass projects, and metro systems, it is easy to commute by public transport, but having your own vehicle can make all the difference.

Hauling process

If you plan to work or stay in Dhaka, importing your vehicle requires meeting specific criteria. Just like importing from any other country, you’ll need to fill in many documents, have paperwork to complete, and have customs duty to pay. However, there may be delays in shipping due to the weather conditions as the area is prone to cyclones and flooding. However, it has improved customs laws, making importing vehicles comparatively more straightforward in the last few years.

Documents for Relocation

You will need some important documentation from the Customs department of Bangladesh when you want to ship a vehicle to Dhaka. These include:

• Car registration documents
• Invoice of car purchase
• Owner’s passport and title deed
• Vehicle ownership documents
• Residence permit to Bangladesh

Additionally, suppose you need the delivery process to be expedited. In that case, you will be required to remove the air conditioning gas and steam clean your vehicle before relocating so that it is not quarantined.

Getting the delivery of your vehicle

When the car is shipped, you must make the delivery to Dhaka. You need to complete numerous procedures before the vehicle is handed over. You must have an International driving license before you can drive in Dhaka. These include paying the customs duty, fees, and other auto import taxes. You will require the emission tests to be done and the identification plate registered with the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority.

Methods of Shifting

There are two methods of relocating vehicles to Dhaka. The more affordable and popular option is Roll-on/Roll-Off (RORO) and Enclosed container hauling, which is comparatively more expensive.

• RO/RO shipping: Most companies and individuals choose this method as it is convenient and less expensive. The cars are harnessed and driven on/off the ship using the pre-set ramps. This is a cost-effective way of shifting vehicles to Dhaka.
• Enclosed container hauling: If you have personal and household items to transport, you can book 20-foot or 40-foot containers independently or share them with others. It is either delivered to the new address in Dhaka or the owner can come and collect it from the depot. However, this is safer than RORO and is more expensive.
