Appliances Shipping Cost from Boston, Massachusetts to Kolkata

Shipping a container from the USA to India costs roughly $1,500 - $5,000 for a 20ft container and $2,500 - $10,000 for a 40ft container, but this varies significantly with origin/destination ports, carrier, fuel costs, and surcharges, with extra fees for trucking, customs, and insurance potentially adding another $2,000-$5,000+ to the total. Expect 30-45+ days transit time, with East Coast US routes often taking longer due to trans-shipment.

Defrost refrigerators at least 24 hours ahead of time. Remove and pack all shelves and drawers separately. Clean and pack ovens, all racks, knobs, and grills separately. Washers and dryers should have their hoses removed and packed by themselves — with the dryer's drum properly secured.
