Import Cars from China to Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is in a customs union with Switzerland and shares its import duty and vehicle-approval framework, rather than the EU's — the same considerations that apply to DriveSino's Switzerland guide. Freight from China to Rotterdam (then by rail) starts at $5,445 USD, with 31–43 days transit.
At DriveSino, we handle the entire export process from China to Liechtenstein — vehicle sourcing, multi-point inspection, export documentation, shipping to Rotterdam, and support with the individual vehicle approval process.
Waarom Importeren uit China naar Liechtenstein?
- Price advantage: Chinese vehicles cost significantly less than comparable European models, even accounting for Liechtenstein/Switzerland's weight-based duty structure
- Left-hand drive standard: Liechtenstein drives on the right, matching the LHD configuration Chinese manufacturers produce as standard
- Individual approval pathway: like Switzerland, a non-EU-type-approved vehicle generally needs individual approval (Einzelgenehmigung) before registration — a real, established process

Vracht vanaf $5,445 USD
Since Liechtenstein has no coastline and shares Switzerland's customs framework, DriveSino ships via the same Rotterdam-rail route used for Switzerland:
| Route | Freight (USD) | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|
| Rotterdam (via rail) | $5,445 | 31–43 days |
* Freight covers sea transit to Rotterdam; onward rail/road transport to Liechtenstein adds further time beyond the sea transit shown.
Invoerrechten & Belastingen voor Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein applies Switzerland's customs regime rather than the EU's:
- Import duty: calculated by weight rather than value, at a comparatively low rate
- VAT: Liechtenstein/Switzerland's VAT applies on CIF value + duty
- Individual approval: a non-EU-type-approved vehicle generally requires individual approval (Einzelgenehmigung) before registration — a real extra step; budget time and cost for it
