Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Ho Chi Minh City to Detroit, Michigan

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.

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.
