Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chengdu to San Juan

Shipping a car from China to the US typically costs $2,000 to $5,000+ for ocean freight, depending on the method (shared container, RO-RO, or dedicated container), with Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO) often starting around $2,500, while faster air cargo is significantly more expensive, potentially $15,000+; remember to budget for additional import duties, taxes, and fees.

Shipping a car to Puerto Rico generally costs between $1,300 and $3,300+ for transport, depending heavily on your departure city (e.g., cheaper from Florida/East Coast, pricier from West Coast/Hawaii), vehicle size, and transport method (Roll-on/Roll-off is cheapest), but remember to budget extra for ~10-13% Puerto Rico import taxes (Arbitrios) and fees upon arrival, which can add several hundred to thousands of dollars.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.
