Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Warsaw to San Salvador

Shipping a car from the U.S. to El Salvador costs between $1,000 and $3,000, not including import duties and taxes. Import duties can range from 1% to 30% of the car's value, based on factors like engine type and age, plus a 13% value-added tax (VAT).

Shipping a car from Poland to the U.S. typically costs between $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the size of the vehicle, shipping method (container vs. RoRo), and destination in the U.S.

You can generally ship passenger cars to El Salvador if they are up to 8 years old, buses up to 10 years old, and trucks up to 15 years old, though newer regulations in 2025 mention 8 years max for light vehicles, 7 years for hybrid/electric, and specifics for heavy vehicles (2010+) with potential duty-free imports for returning families, requiring proper emissions certificates and consulate authentication.
