How much does it cost to export a Toyota Frontlander from China?

Short answer: your landed cost = vehicle price + China-side export costs + ocean freight and insurance + destination duties, taxes and fees. Vehicle prices change with trim, colour, condition and market, so we quote each order individually — but the structure is always the same.

What is included in an FOB price?

• The vehicle — model year, trim, colour, new or used.
• Inland transport in China from the dealer or yard to the export port.
• Export clearance — export declaration and documents.
• Port handling and loading onto the vessel or into the container.

What does CIF add?

CIF adds ocean freight and marine insurance to your destination port. Freight depends on the method (Ro-Ro or container), the route and the number of vehicles sharing a container.

Which costs are paid at destination?

Duties can exceed the freight cost by a wide margin, so check them first. Our market guides link to the official customs authority for each country.

Optional costs to plan for

• Third-party pre-shipment inspection, if your market or bank requires it
• Accessories or spare parts packs added to the order
• Document legalisation for some countries

How can you lower the landed cost?

1. Fill containers: shipping several vehicles per container spreads freight cost. See how many Frontlanders fit in a 40ft container.
2. Choose the right model year: a used 2022 or 2023 unit may cost far less, if your country’s age rules allow it.
3. Match powertrain to duty rules: some markets tax hybrids and petrol engines differently.
4. Mix models in one shipment to avoid half-empty containers.
