Importing a car from China: the two questions every dealer asks first
1️⃣ “How can I import a car from China to my country?” 2️⃣ “How much does it cost to ship a car from China to Africa?” Most people think importing is complicated. It doesn’t have to be.
Here’s a simplified 5-step process we use with buyers:
Select the vehicle — new, used, or electric, based on your market demand.
Confirm the FOB or CIF price — which includes the vehicle cost plus export handling fees.
Arrange an inspection — through photos, video, or third-party verification.
Book shipping — RoRo or container, depending on the vehicle type and destination.
Receive the documents — Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, and export certificate.
As for shipping costs?
💡 For a standard sedan shipped from China to major African ports, the cost typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,500, depending on the port, shipping method, and current fuel surcharges. SUVs and pickups cost more. Container shipping allows for multiple vehicles and extra protection.
The exact figure depends on your destination and vehicle specifications — but once you know your route, you can quickly get a transparent quote.
