Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Mexico City to New York, New York

Importing a car from Mexico to the U.S. involves customs duties (around 2.5% for cars, 25% for trucks), plus costs for shipping, customs brokerage, EPA/NHTSA compliance paperwork (like forms 3520-1), and eventual state registration/titling, adding several hundred to thousands of dollars on top of the car's value, depending on its price, type, and condition.

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.

Yes, you can bring a car from Mexico to the U.S., but it's complex, requiring strict compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) (CBP) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, often needing expensive modifications for safety (DOT) and emissions (EPA) if the vehicle isn't U.S.-spec, involving forms (HS-7, 3520-1), titles, bills of sale, and potentially high duties, making it feasible mostly for older, compliant, or collectible cars.
