Expected shipping cost.
The cost is calculated on the basis of the value of the car, freight charges as well as the shipping method. However, there are surcharges as well as taxes which are payable at Samoa. VAT and service tax is about 15% and there is a customs and excise tax that will range from 0% to 20%. In any case, the total cost is definitely going to vary based on the price of the car. However, you need to know that:
- Only right hand driven vehicles are allowed.
- Less than 12 year old vehicles are eligible.
Of course, there are other documentations that you would need to take care of and deliver to the customs agencies at both ports and they include:
- Ocean Bill Of Lading.
- Car title.
- Registration papers.
- Ownership proof.
- Purchase invoice of the car.
Furthermore, you would need to determine the type of shipping that you want to go with. For Samoa, you can choose between a few but the most efficient and effective are definitely the RORO and Container shipping. Roll-on/Roll-Off allows you to ship quick and inexpensive while the latter is more costly yet it offers you the chance to ship additional personal belongings and it’s safer.
When you ship using RORO, you need to make sure that the vehicle is bereft of all personal goods, cleaned from inside and all alarms are disabled. In container shipping, you can put your personal goods and vehicle together to ship it with ease with the added safety of a sealed container.
