Shipping Cost from Calgary to Montevideo

When importing a car into Uruguay, you need to pay: Import Duty: Typically 20% of the vehicle's CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value. Value Added Tax (VAT): 22% of the vehicle's CIF value. Customs Processing Fees: Additional fees may apply for processing and handling the import.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.

Shipping a 20-foot container to Uruguay typically costs $2,400–$4,900; 40-foot containers range from $3,800–$7,300 based on origin. Ocean freight to Montevideo averages 4–7 weeks; customs delays or rural delivery may extend final handoff by several days.
