Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Brazil to Sao Paulo

Hauling a standard-sized vehicle from the United States to Brazil generally costs between $2,400 and $4,500 using a cargo container. Shipping containers can ship other goods besides a vehicle, and most can accommodate more than one car.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Residency: You don't necessarily need permanent residency to register a vehicle. However, having an official address in Brazil makes the process easier. CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas): The CPF is a personal tax identification number and is a critical component.
