Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Alexandria

Shipping a car from Japan to the US generally costs $1,500 to $3,000+ for ocean freight, but total costs vary widely, adding hundreds or thousands for duties (like a new 27.5% tariff on cars), transport, and fees, making the overall price range from around $2,000 to over $5,000, depending on car size, shipping method (shared container vs. RORO) and final destination.

Three years after purchase, every new car has to go through an expensive inspection process, and once every two years after that. Furthermore, vehicles older than 10 years have to pass the inspection every year. As a result, most car owners in Japan write off their cars after 10 years and buy new ones.

Could be anywhere from $1,000 to $15,000+ depending on the model, year, and condition. Shipping (Also known as Ocean Freight) Usually ranges from $900 to $1,500 to a U.S. port (like Los Angeles, Baltimore, or Savannah).
