Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Ho Chi Minh City

Shipping a Car from Vietnam to the USA starts at a cost of $3,249 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 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.

Vietnam car import taxes are complex, involving high Import Duties ( up to 70% from non-FTA nations), a 10% VAT, and a steep Special Consumption Tax (SCT) that can exceed 100% for luxury vehicles, plus registration fees, making imported cars very expensive, though Free Trade Agreements (FTAs like ASEAN/EVFTA) offer reduced duties for specific regions and vehicles (especially EVs/green tech).
