Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Rio de Janeiro to Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee

Importing a car from Brazil to the U.S. involves significant costs, primarily shipping ( around $2,000-$2,500+ via sea RoRo/container), plus a 2.5% duty on modern cars, a 25% duty for trucks (Chicken Tax), plus customs fees, handling, and potential DOT bonds, with total expenses highly dependent on the vehicle's value, type (classic vs. modern), and specific origin/destination ports, requiring quotes from international shippers.

Shipping a car to or from Nashville will likely cost anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars. The cost can change depending on factors such as the car's size, distance to destination, the route it will take, shipping preference (whether open or enclosed), and the prevailing market conditions.

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.
