Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Mexico City to Wilmington, Delaware

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: 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.
