Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Columbus, Ohio to Seoul

Shipping to South Korea from the US can range from ~$20 for light items (1-2 lbs) via economy services (like USPS First Class or Asendia) to over $100 for heavier packages or fast express delivery (FedEx/UPS), with prices heavily depending on weight, dimensions, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier; expect around $30-$60 for 1-5 lb packages and over $100-$200 for 10+ kg (22+ lbs) via air freight, while sea freight offers cheaper but much slower options for large items.

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.

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.
