Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Tokyo

The average price to ship a car from USA to Japan ranges from $2100 to $4020, and the duties to import a car to Japan from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Japan.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but shipping can become comparable or even better for very long trips when factoring in hidden driving costs like hotels, food, tolls, and significant wear & tear/depreciation, especially if you value your time or have an unreliable car. The cost-benefit ratio shifts with distance, so compare actual quotes for shipping versus estimated expenses for gas, lodging, tolls, food, and lost time/value if driving yourself.

Can I Bring My Car From the States? Shipping your vehicle to Japan can be very costly and large American cars will not navigate well on Japanese roads due to narrow roads and parking spaces. That being said, you can ship your vehicle to Japan but your vehicle will have to meet strict Japanese emission standards etc.
