Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Osaka to Ouagadougou

Shipping a car to Hawaii typically costs between $1,200 and $3,000+, depending on factors like your departure port (California often cheapest), vehicle size, company, and current fuel prices, with common carriers like Matson and Pasha Hawaii offering services from major West Coast ports to Honolulu, often requiring a clean vehicle with a quarter tank of gas and no personal items.

As your car enters the port warehouse, the vehicle is prepped for shipment. Then as the ship leaves the port, you will receive a Bill of Lading and notification with the ETA. How long does it take to import a car from Japan to the USA? Shipping a car from Japan will take on average 8-10 weeks.

Yes, you can buy a car in Japan and ship it to the U.S., but it's complex, requiring adherence to strict EPA/DOT rules, paying duties/fees, and extensive paperwork (like Export Certificate, Bill of Lading, EPA Form 3520-1, DOT HS-7 ). The easiest route is importing cars 25+ years old (exempt from modern safety/emissions), while newer cars must be US-spec or meet standards, often necessitating a customs broker, and shipping involves RoRo or container options.
