Shipping Cost from Charlotte, North Carolina to Kuala Lumpur

The average price to ship a car from USA to Malaysia ranges from $2100 to $4020, and the duties to import a car to Malaysia from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Malaysia.

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.

The Malaysian VEP is an entry permit required by all foreign cars entering Peninsular Malaysia, issued by the Malaysian Road Transport Department¹. The permit is needed for private, commercial and embassy vehicles and must be present before you cross the border.
