Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Sao Paulo to Baton Rouge, Louisiana

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.

The answer to this question is dependent on several factors, including the distance to be covered, the size and type of the vehicle, and the chosen shipping method. On average, auto transport companies charge for auto transport to or from Louisiana ranges from $200 to $500.

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.
