Once you’ve arranged shipping, you’ll have to choose a suitable shipping method.  There are two available options: RORO and container freight. Both are cost-efficient but handled differently. The first is for vehicles that run under their own power and aren’t damaged, while the second is a wiser solution to ship inoperable or damaged cars, bikes, or trucks. You can read up on their differences right here. Take into consideration that quote prices are for consolidated container shipping.

How long does it take to ship a car to Belarus

All vehicles shipped to Minsk arrive in Klaipeda first, as there are no ports in Belarus. Sailing times from the US to Lithuania depend on the location of the port in the USA. On average, sailing from ports on the East Coast takes 18-26 days, while sea transit from the West Coast takes up to 50-55 days. Keep in mind that ground transport from Klaipeda to Minsk, as well as processing documentation, usually takes additional few days.

Import Duties in Belarus

All gas-powered cars imported to Belarus are declared at Customs with a 15% import duty tax and 20% VAT. However, vehicles older than 5 years are subject to taxes which are calculated according to the engine displacement and the vehicle’s price. These taxes vary from 1.5 to 5.7 EUR per cubic centimeter, depending on the car’s age and motor.

Simplified import rules for electric vehicles are in effect in Belarus until December 31st, 2021. In accordance with the government’s initiative on the “promotion of the use of electric vehicles”, these are not subject to duties and customs clearance is free. Take into account that you’ll have to obtain a receipt with a confirmation that the vehicle has undergone Customs clearance regardless of vehicle type.
