How much does a Volkswagen Lavida 2025 cost landed in Algeria?
The vehicle purchase price is $12,121. Adding the China export costs (FOB Shanghai), sea freight and marine insurance gives the CIF price. Algerian clearance and taxes are then charged as a fixed fee of 800,000 DA — the same for every model, paid in dinars directly to the authorities — so the landed cost in Algeria comes to $16,572 + 800 000 DA.
