⚡ Quick Answer: How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to Haiti?
For planning, shipping a standard running vehicle from the USA to Haiti commonly costs about $1,000–$2,600+ before Haitian customs duty, taxes, terminal charges, storage and local delivery. Most vehicle shipments are planned through Port-au-Prince, with Cap-Haïtien considered for selected northern routes. Haiti Customs also applies a 25% environmental protection tax to passenger and utility vehicles over 7 years old, so manufacture year should be checked before purchase or shipment.
USA → HAITI CAR SHIPPING
All TransportDepot coordinates nationwide U.S. pickup, title review, AES/EEI export filing, terminal delivery and ocean transport for cars, SUVs, pickups and auction vehicles bound for Haiti. The route is planned around Port-au-Prince or Cap-Haïtien, vehicle condition, current carrier service and the importer’s customs readiness. For older vehicles, Haiti’s environmental tax can materially change the landed cost, so the exact manufacture year matters before the vehicle is dispatched.

RoRo vs Container Shipping to Haiti
RoRo Shipping
Often the most practical method for an operable vehicle when the current carrier accepts the unit and route. The vehicle generally must start, steer and brake.
Container Shipping
Useful for non-running, damaged, high-value or specialty vehicles and where enclosed loading is preferred. Warehouse loading and handling may add cost.
Estimated Car Shipping Cost to Haiti
A broad vehicle-shipping planning range is $1,000–$2,600+. Final pricing depends on the pickup ZIP, vehicle size, condition, method, U.S. export gateway and current carrier rate.
| Pickup Region | Planning Range |
|---|---|
| Florida | $1,000–$1,650 |
| Georgia | $1,150–$1,850 |
| Texas | $1,350–$2,050 |
| Northeast | $1,400–$2,150 |
| California | $2,100–$2,600+ |

Haiti Customs, Vehicle Age & Environmental Tax
Older Vehicle Tax
Haiti Customs publishes a 25% Taxe pour la Protection de l’Environnement (TPE) on passenger vehicles, utility vehicles and passenger transport vehicles over 7 years old. Certain heavy goods vehicles over 12 years are also covered by a separate age threshold.
Tariff Classification & Valuation
Customs treatment depends on tariff classification and customs value. Haiti Customs publishes the NDP/HS tariff and does not treat automobiles as ordinary duty-free personal effects when a person transfers residence.
Vehicle Ports & Routing in Haiti
Port-au-Prince
Main planning gateway for many vehicle shipments serving the capital and central market.
Cap-Haïtien
Can be considered for selected northern Haiti routes when the carrier and cargo type support it.
Final terminal availability must be confirmed from the live carrier booking before the vehicle is delivered to a U.S. port.
