Antigua Car Shipping Services

Shipping a Car to Antigua
Costs and Timeframes

The exact cost of shipping your car depends on several factors, but we can provide a starting point. Typically, shipping a compact car from Miami to Antigua starts at around $1,350 USD and takes approximately 2-4 weeks.
Here are some factors that can affect the cost:

• Size and weight of your vehicle: Larger vehicles generally cost more to ship.
• Origin and destination ports: The distance between ports impacts the price.
• Shipping method: While Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) is the most affordable option, enclosed carriers offer superior protection for luxury vehicles.
• Peak seasons: Shipping rates may be higher during peak travel times.

Additional Considerations

• Storage and cleaning: There may be additional costs depending on your situation, such as pre-shipment cleaning or storage at the origin port.
• Antigua import duties and taxes: You’ll be responsible for these upon arrival.

Understanding Antigua’s
Import Regulations

Researching Antigua’s import regulations is crucial before shipping your car. Here’s a breakdown of key taxes and duties:

• Import Duty: This is typically 25% of the Customs Examining Officer’s (CEO) determined value of your car. However, duty rates can be subject to change. We recommend checking the Antigua Customs and Excise Department website for the latest information.
• Revenue Levy: An additional 15% is applied to the sum of the CIF value (cost, insurance, and freight) and the import duty.
• VAT (Value Added Tax): 18% VAT is charged on the sum of the CIF value, import duty, and revenue levy.
