Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Guadalajara to Columbus, Ohio

Importing a car from Mexico to the US involves various costs, primarily a 2.5% duty on the car's value (or 25% for trucks) plus a CBP merchandising fee (~0.35%), carrier fees for transport, and state-specific sales tax/registration, with potential high fees for non-compliant vehicles (EPA/NHTSA) and extra costs for customs brokers or paperwork ; expect total fees to range from hundreds to potentially thousands of dollars beyond the car's price, depending heavily on compliance and logistics.

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.
