Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Kuala Lumpur to Houston, Texas

Shipping from Malaysia to the USA takes anywhere from a few days (express air freight/courier) to over a month (sea freight), with express options like DHL/FedEx taking 2-5 business days, standard air cargo 4-11 days, and ocean freight ranging from 3-7 weeks (25-50 days) depending on service and port congestion.

The average price to ship a car from USA to Malaysia ranges from $2100 to $4020, and the duties to import a car to Malaysia from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Malaysia.

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.
