When shipping a vehicle to Argentina, customers typically choose between RoRo shipping and container shipping, depending on the vehicle type, budget, and level of protection required.
RoRo shipping to Argentina (Roll-On/Roll-Off) is one of the most affordable and straightforward solutions for exporting vehicles internationally. Our RoRo service offers reliable sailings to major Argentinian ports, providing a trusted departure point for UK vehicle exports. With this method, operational vehicles are driven directly onto the vessel, securely fastened on the cargo deck, and transported safely to Argentina.
RoRo shipping is suitable for both new and used vehicles, including cars, 4x4s, SUVs, vans, trucks, and agricultural machinery. Shipping costs are calculated based on the space the vehicle occupies on the vessel, making it cost-effective. We also provide flexible door-to-port and port-to-port services from major UK ports for smooth, reliable car shipping to Argentina.
Prefer extra protection for your vehicle during the journey to Argentina? Container shipping loads your car securely inside a 20ft or 40ft container rather than driving it onto an open vessel, ideal for high-value vehicles, classic cars, or shipments combined with household goods. We offer both door-to-port and port-to-port options, with loading available at ports or our Essex warehouse, or containers can be delivered to your address for loading.

With extensive experience in shipping and freight forwarding, Ascope Shipping ensures your cargo arrives on time and in perfect condition. We provide guidance on import requirements and customs procedures in Argentina to facilitate a smooth transition.
When shipping vehicles to Argentina, it’s crucial to understand and comply with the country’s import regulations.
Check current requirements with ARCA (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero), Argentina’s customs authority, as regulations can change.
Getting your paperwork right the first time avoids costly delays at the port. Our team checks every document against the list above, so nothing gets missed and your shipment clears customs without unnecessary delay.
Personal presence or power of attorney may be required during customs clearance. Expect the clearance process to take 7 to 10 business days.
Import duties and taxes in Argentina can be substantial, often exceeding 100% of a vehicle’s declared value, making it one of the stricter import regimes in South America. Rates depend on vehicle type, age, and eligibility, so it’s worth confirming exact figures before shipping rather than relying on estimates alone.
We recommend marine cargo insurance for every vehicle shipped to Argentina. Cover protects against damage, loss, or unforeseen risks during transit, and matters most for higher-value vehicles where repair or replacement costs would be significant if anything went wrong along the way.
If you’re exporting your vehicle permanently from the UK, you’re required to notify the DVLA that the car is leaving the country. We guide customers through this step as part of our service, so it’s never overlooked before departure.
Proper preparation reduces the risk of delays during inspection and loading.
Before your vehicle departs the UK, make sure to:
Import regulations can change frequently, so it’s advisable to check with Argentine customs or a licensed customs broker for the most up-to-date information. All documents should be in Spanish or accompanied by certified Spanish translations.
It’s highly recommended to consult with our experienced team or Argentine customs authorities before shipping to ensure compliance with all current import requirements and to avoid potential delays or additional costs.
Argentina’s strict vehicle import rules, high duty rates, and residency requirements make it one of the more complex South American destinations to ship a car to. With 15 years of experience navigating these regulations, our team understands how to prepare documentation correctly the first time, helping avoid the delays and unexpected charges that can catch out less experienced exporters.
