Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Djibouti

Importing a Car from Vietnam to the USA starts at a cost of $3,250 USD with an estimated turnaround time of 30 days, depending on make and model of the vehicle, the nearest departure port in Vietnam and whether the destination in the USA is on the east or west coast.

The least expensive and most environmentally friendly shipping alternative appears to be by sea transport with expected transit time of about 31 days. The fastest route involves road transport and is expected to take about 22 days.

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.
