Shipping Cost from Los Angeles, California to Ho Chi Minh City

Transporting a car to Vietnam involves a range of costs, with the average price typically spanning from $2,100 to $4,025 USD. Import duties for bringing a car into Vietnam can vary dramatically, ranging from 0% to 100% plus local VAT, dependent on the vehicle's type and value.

Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.

For the absolute cheapest shipping from the US to Vietnam, especially for small items, USPS Priority Mail International or First Class International (if under 4 lbs) is usually best for small parcels (under 2lbs). For heavier or larger items, using a freight forwarder like MyUS or a comparison site like Easyship to find budget economy options with carriers like FedEx International Economy or DHL offers lower costs than standard express, though with longer transit times (weeks vs. days).
