Furniture Shipping Cost from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Rio de Janeiro

If you're thinking of moving to Brazil then you've probably got some furniture that needs to be shipped. Your choice is between air freight and sea freight. Air freight gets the job done quickly. Cargo planes offer a speedy service that will take just two or three days from almost anywhere around the world.

Shipping to Brazil from the USA costs vary widely, from around $18 for small, light items (USPS First-Class) to $100+ for heavier/faster shipments (FedEx/UPS/Express), depending heavily on weight, speed, and carrier, with USPS offering budget options and DHL/FedEx/UPS providing faster, more reliable service, but be aware Brazil has high import taxes (60%+) on declared values over $50.

Shipping a 50-pound box costs roughly $40 to $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground/UPS Ground often cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage), and if you use discounts or flat rates. For short distances, it might be ~$40-$70, while cross-country can reach $75-$130+, plus potential $28+ handling fees from UPS/FedEx for heavy items.
