Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Nur-Sultan

Shipping from Shenzhen, China to the USA varies greatly by method: Air freight takes roughly 3-10 days, while slower ocean freight can range from 2-6 weeks, depending on your US destination (West Coast faster than East Coast) and customs processing, with general transit around 20-40 days by sea. Express couriers (DHL, FedEx) offer 1-3 day delivery, while standard sea freight takes much longer, with specific port-to-port times depending on the final US port.

Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.

LCL (Less than Container Load) Costs For smaller shipments, LCL is more cost-effective. Rates are usually calculated by cubic meters, starting around $50–$80 per CBM. However, additional handling fees can make LCL less predictable than FCL.
