  3. Shipping to Tianjin: Your car is shipped via RO-RO or Container to the Port of Tianjin, China.
  4. Inland Rail/Trucking: The vehicle is loaded onto a train or car carrier for the journey to Ulaanbaatar.
  5. Customs Clearance: Pay the 5% Duty, 10% VAT, and the age-based Excise Tax at the Ulaanbaatar terminal.

Nexuss Pro-Tips for 2026

  1. Tianjin Transit: Ensure your shipping agent has a strong relationship with Chinese rail authorities. Transit from Tianjin Port to Ulaanbaatar can take 10–20 days.
  2. Hybrid Advantages: Hybrid vehicles (especially the Prius) often qualify for lower environmental levies—check the latest 2026 “Green” tax incentives.
  3. Documentation: Keep your Original Export Certificate safe; Mongolian customs requires the physical original, not a copy, for final registration.
