Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Busan to Madrid

Shipping from Korea to the US can take anywhere from a few days (air express) to over a month (sea freight), with common options ranging from 2-10 days for air cargo to 2-6 weeks for ocean freight, depending on speed, cost, and service type (express courier, standard air, sea LCL/FCL).

Shipping a car from the USA to Spain generally costs between $1,000 and $3,800+ for ocean freight, depending on the method ( RoRo vs. container), origin/destination, and vehicle size, with container shipping often more secure but potentially pricier than shared containers; you must also budget for Spanish import duties (10% duty + 21% VAT) and local fees unless relocating as a returning resident with specific exemptions. Expect transit times from about 3-6 weeks.

When you move to Korea, your car is classified as part of your household goods if you import within six months. This classification makes clearing customs moderately easier than shipping a car without it.
