Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Tokyo to Greensboro, North Carolina

Shipping a car from Japan to the U.S. generally costs $2,000 to $5,000+ for ocean freight, but the total landed cost can range from $4,000 to over $10,000, factoring in car price, duties (2.5% for cars, 25% for trucks), port fees, customs, and domestic transport. Costs vary significantly by vehicle size, shipping method (shared container vs. RORO), destination port, and compliance needs, with classic cars (25+ years) often needing specific EPA/DOT exemptions.

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.

Japan has some of the most competitive new vehicle costs in Asia and the rest of the globe. This is due to Japan's vast economy, which allows for ``scale economies,'' as well as the fact that automobiles made locally do not need to be shipped as far for sale.
