Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Seattle, Washington to Ho Chi Minh City

Transporting a car to Vietnam involves a range of costs, with the average price typically spanning from $2,100 to $4,025 USD. Import duties for bringing a car into Vietnam can vary dramatically, ranging from 0% to 100% plus local VAT, dependent on the vehicle's type and value.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

For the absolute cheapest shipping from the US to Vietnam, especially for small items, USPS Priority Mail International or First Class International (if under 4 lbs) is usually best for small parcels (under 2lbs). For heavier or larger items, using a freight forwarder like MyUS or a comparison site like Easyship to find budget economy options with carriers like FedEx International Economy or DHL offers lower costs than standard express, though with longer transit times (weeks vs. days).
