Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from El Paso, Texas to Munich

Shipping a car from the USA to Europe costs roughly $1,000 to $4,000+, varying by method (RORO, container), vehicle size, origin/destination ports, and added fees, with shared containers being cheaper but exclusive containers offering better protection; expect extra costs for port fees, customs, taxes, and potential import duties (especially for non-EU registered cars).

Shipping a car from the USA to Germany generally costs $1,000 to $2,500+ for basic ocean freight, depending on method ( Ro-Ro vs. container ) and port, plus significant import fees like a 10% duty and 19% VAT on the vehicle's value plus shipping costs, plus destination fees, registration, and insurance. Expect base shipping around $1,000-$1,800 (shared container cheaper, Ro-Ro also economical) and total landed costs to be much higher due to taxes and destination charges.

You may bring your vehicle into Germany for up to six months after paying a deposit and completing the required paperwork. While some classic and antique autos may escape duty fees when being shipped to Germany, it is ultimately up to the customs official whether or not to waive taxes.
