Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Osaka to Saint Paul, Minnesota

Shipping a car from Japan to the US generally costs $1,500 to $3,000+ for ocean freight, but the total landed cost, including duties, fees, and transport, often ranges from $4,000 to $10,000+, depending on the vehicle, chosen method (shared container vs. roll-on/roll-off), and destination port. Expect extra expenses like import duties (2.5% for cars, 25% for trucks), port fees, customs brokerage, and compliance paperwork.

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.

If you need to ship your car to the other side of the country – train shipping will be more economical. If you need fast delivery right to your place – shipping by truck will be your best option.
