Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Rio de Janeiro to Wellington

If you are moving to New Zealand or returning home, shipping your car is often a smart choice. This is because there are many GST (Goods and Services Tax) and compliance exemptions available. At Taurus Logistics, we pride ourselves on our flexibility. You won't have to worry about the red tape at NZ Customs and MPI.

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.

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.
