Furniture Shipping Cost from Taipei to Raleigh, North Carolina

Shipping from Taiwan to the US varies wildly by speed and volume, from around $30 for small USPS envelopes to $5-$12/kg for air freight, and hundreds to thousands of dollars for container loads (FCL/LCL), with options like DHL/FedEx offering fast but pricier courier service compared to postal, or ocean freight for bulk/heavy goods. Expect to pay roughly $100-$150 for a 1-3kg parcel via express, while air freight can drop to $10-$20/kg for 100kg+ shipments, and 20ft containers start around $2,000-$3,500+, depending on market rates.

The average cost of an international move — including expenses like shipping and moving services — can range from about $3,000 to $18,000 or more. However, smaller moves over shorter distances may cost less, while larger, longer-distance moves may cost more.
