Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Hanoi to San Jose

Importing a Car from Vietnam to the USA starts at a cost of $3,250 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.

Shipping from Vietnam to the USA varies widely in price, from ~$20 for small postal packages to $1,500+ for full containers, depending on speed and volume: Express couriers (DHL/UPS/FedEx) cost ~$30-$50/kg, Air freight is ~$6-$12/kg for bulk, while Sea freight (FCL/LCL) runs ~$1,500-$3,000/container or $250-$350/CBM but takes weeks. For small parcels, USPS offers cheaper options like Priority Mail International.

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.
