Question 1

How much to import a car from Brazil to the USA?

Accepted Answer

Importing a car from Brazil to the U.S. involves significant costs, primarily shipping ( around $2,000-$2,500+ via sea RoRo/container), plus a 2.5% duty on modern cars, a 25% duty for trucks (Chicken Tax), plus customs fees, handling, and potential DOT bonds, with total expenses highly dependent on the vehicle's value, type (classic vs. modern), and specific origin/destination ports, requiring quotes from international shippers.

Question 2

Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How long does shipping from Brazil to the US take?

Accepted Answer

The ports of origin and destination dictate how long sea freight will spend in transit. Shipping between Brazil and the south or east coast will be quicker than shipping to the west coast. Bearing that in mind, when shipping from the USA from Brazil, you can expect shipments to take between 21 to 53 days.

Question 5

How much does it cost to ship from the USA to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Shipping to Brazil from the USA costs vary widely, from around $25-$40 for small, slow economy parcels (USPS First Class/IPA) to $40-$100+ for faster options (FedEx, DHL, UPS), depending heavily on weight, speed (days vs. weeks), and courier, with major costs often including Brazilian import duties (around 60%) on declared value + shipping, making faster services pricier but more predictable. Expect to pay more for heavier items and quicker delivery; for example, a 1 lb package might start around $78 (USPS) or $139 (UPS), while heavier parcels see costs climb significantly.

Question 6

What is the average cost to move a piano?

Accepted Answer

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

Question 7

How much does it cost to ship a piano internationally?

Accepted Answer

Upright Piano Shipping Costs
 Upright pianos, being more compact, cost less to ship internationally. On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance.

Question 8

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

Question 9

How much does it cost to move an elliptical machine?

Accepted Answer

Moving an elliptical can cost anywhere from $50 for local help to several hundred dollars for professional movers, depending on distance, disassembly, and if you use specialized fitness movers ($200-$500), general movers ($100-$500), or a junk removal service (starting around $115 for pickup). DIY methods involve truck rentals (e.g., U-Haul, Home Depot) and labor, while professional services handle the heavy lifting, which is safer for stairs.

Question 10

What can I use to move heavy gym equipment?

Accepted Answer

Furniture sliders are great if you're just trying to get something from one end of a room to another. Moving dollies can be helpful if you're moving a lot of equipment, as this gives you more control and helps you limit damage.

Question 11

Is it hard to move a home gym?

Accepted Answer

The process of moving home gym equipment can feel like a complex puzzle, but with the right plan, all the pieces will fall into place. Draft a detailed moving plan that outlines timelines, tasks, and resources needed for the relocation of your fitness sanctuary.
