Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Taipei to San Jose

Shipping from Taiwan to the US varies wildly by speed and volume, from around $30 for small USPS envelopes to $5-$12/kg for air freight, and hundreds to thousands of dollars for container loads (FCL/LCL), with options like DHL/FedEx offering fast but pricier courier service compared to postal, or ocean freight for bulk/heavy goods. Expect to pay roughly $100-$150 for a 1-3kg parcel via express, while air freight can drop to $10-$20/kg for 100kg+ shipments, and 20ft containers start around $2,000-$3,500+, depending on market rates.

The cost to ship a car from the USA to Taiwan starts at around $1,800 per vehicle in a shared container. Final rates depend on your departure port, container size, service type, and the size and condition of the vehicle. Additional destination charges in Taiwan are not included in the base ocean freight.

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.
