Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Nashville, Tennessee to Singapore

Singapore's car law centers on the 10-year Certificate of Entitlement (COE), a quota license allowing vehicle ownership, which expires after a decade, requiring owners to either renew it (for 5 or 10 years), sell the car, or deregister it, with renewals costing the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) and older cars facing road tax surcharges and eventually no more renewal options after a certain age.

Shipping from the US to Singapore costs vary widely, from around $20-$30 for light items (USPS First Class, 1-4 lbs) to $40-$70+ for faster services (UPS, DHL, FedEx Express) taking 2-4 days, while heavier or bulk freight starts higher (e.g., $100+ for sea freight LCL ), with costs depending on weight, speed, and carrier. Expect $20-$60 for standard tracked packages ( USPS Priority, 6-10 days) and $30-$65 for balanced options ( FedEx Economy, 4-9 days).

Import and register a car. You can import a new car directly from the manufacturer or from a country with safety and exhaust emission standards that are higher than or equivalent to Singapore. You can also import a used car that is less than 3 years old, and also classic or vintage cars.
