Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Oakland, California to Hanoi

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

The vehicle wishing to be imported into Vietnam must not exceed five years old; in turn, the automobile must have been registered in the owner's home country for at least six months and have a minimum mileage of 10,000 km. It is also important to note that cars should be disassembled when transported into Vietnam.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.
