Exporting a car to Liberia
A car for Liberia is a longer job than the map suggests: 28–35 days on the water into Monrovia (Freeport), and sailings to this coast are less frequent than to the big hubs, so the date you commit matters more than usual. We book against a named sailing rather than an estimate, and deliver on to Monrovia and Buchanan or wherever you need it.
The Freeport of Monrovia is the country's main deep-water port and sits inside the capital, so clearance and delivery happen in the same city. Liberia drives on the right, so left-hand drive is the standard specification and it is what we supply unless you ask otherwise; right-hand drive can be sourced from UK stock when you specifically want it. Destination documentation is in English, which removes one of the more common sources of delay: the export file we raise in the UK and the file the clearing side works from say the same thing in the same language.
We buy the exact vehicle in the UK, Europe or Asia, inspect it before it moves, and take it from there: export declarations and the bill of lading, RO-RO or container, whichever suits the vehicle, marine insurance if you want the cover, customs clearance and final delivery. What comes back is one landed figure for Liberia — vehicle, freight, insurance, duty and delivery in a single number, agreed in writing before anything is committed. Duty at destination turns on the vehicle's age, engine size and declared value, so we price your specific car rather than quote a rate that will not survive contact with the entry.

Questions
Shipping a car to Liberia
How long does it take to ship a car to Liberia?
- Typical sea transit from the UK and Europe to Monrovia (Freeport) is 28–35 days, depending on the sailing schedule and whether the car travels RO-RO or in a container. Clearance and inland delivery to Monrovia sit on top of that, and we give you the whole timeline in the quote.
Which port do you use for Liberia?
- Monrovia (Freeport). The Freeport of Monrovia is the country's main deep-water port and sits inside the capital, so clearance and delivery happen in the same city.
Does a car for Liberia have to be left-hand drive?
- Liberia drives on the right, so left-hand drive is the standard specification and what we supply unless you say otherwise. Right-hand drive can be sourced from UK stock — buyers moving back from Britain often want exactly that — and whichever you choose is stated in the quote so nothing is a surprise at registration.
What language is the paperwork in for Liberia?
- English, the same language as the export file we raise in the UK, which takes one whole category of mismatch out of the clearance at Monrovia.
What does an all-in quote to Liberia cover?
- The vehicle, export documentation, freight to Monrovia, optional marine insurance, destination duty and clearance, and delivery onward to Monrovia and Buchanan or wherever else in Liberia you need it. It is one figure, fixed in writing before you commit.
Vehicles we export to Liberia
Not just cars
Other freight to Liberia
The same chain that moves a car through Monrovia moves everything else: a container of goods, plant and machinery, an oversized piece, or a household on the move. If your cargo is not a car, start here.
The part that goes wrong
Customs clearance and documentation
Export and import declarations, the bill of lading and destination formalities, prepared and lodged.
Working equipment
Plant and machinery
Excavators, loaders, generators and production equipment, moved with the paperwork and the securing they need.
Too big for a box
Breakbulk and project cargo
Oversized, overweight and awkward loads that will not go in a container and need to be planned rather than booked.
FCL and LCL
Container freight
A full container for a large consignment, or a share of one when you have less than a full load.
