Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Mexico City to Delaware

Yes, you can bring a car from Mexico to the U.S., but it's complex: the vehicle must meet strict U.S. safety and emissions standards (unless over 25 years old), you need extensive paperwork (CBP, DOT, EPA forms), and you must pay import duties (around 2.5% for cars). The process involves declaring it at the border with CBP, getting it certified for compliance (often needing manufacturer letters or independent inspection), paying fees, and then registering with your state's DMV.

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.

Container shipping is the most common alternative to RORO to ship a car to the USA. Shipping your vehicle by container remains the safest form of international transport as your cargo is enclosed during all the shipping process.
