Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Vancouver to Brasilia

Because we have very high import tariffs. It's very expensive to import things. And this makes products manufactured in the country very expensive as well, because the competition is pricer (with tariffs).

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.

Brazil's substantial import duties on foreign vehicles—typically 35% standard duty plus additional taxes that can effectively double the cost—present significant challenges for collectors and dealers.
