Question 1

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 2

What is the 25 year rule for importing cars?

Accepted Answer

The 25-year rule in the U.S. allows vehicles manufactured at least 25 years ago to be imported without needing to meet current Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions rules, making it easier to bring in classic foreign cars like JDM icons. This exemption from safety and emissions compliance begins 25 years from the vehicle's manufacture date, but some states, like California, have stricter emissions rules for older cars.

Question 3

What is the import duty for cars in Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Import Duty 35% IPI 25% ICMS 18% PIS, COFINS and other taxes 12%

Question 4

How do I send furniture to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Why is shipping to Brazil so expensive?

Accepted Answer

Import Tariffs and Taxes
 Brazil's import tariffs remain relatively high in 2025. The Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) and the Industrialized Product Tax (IPI) continue to add to the overall cost of shipping products to Brazil.

Question 6

What is the best international shipping to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

If you want it relatively fast, use DHL, FedEx, or UPS. They usually only take about 7-10 days, depending on where you are in Brazil. If you don't mind waiting, use the post office. In my experience, anything sent through the post office (Correio in Brazil) takes at least 20 days to be delivered.

Question 7

What items cannot be shipped to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Banknotes; currency notes; paper money; securities payable to bearer; and traveler's checks. Coins; manufactured and unmanufactured platinum, gold, and silver; precious stones; jewels; expensive jewelry; and other valuable articles. Commercial samples that promote tobacco products or smoking-related merchandise.

Question 8

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 9

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 10

Are piano movers worth it?

Accepted Answer

While some opt to move their pianos themselves or hire general moving companies to cut costs, this route often leads to major frustrations and damages that actually cost more in the long run. Professional piano movers are worth investing in for the highest level of care, expertise, and stress-free service.

Question 11

How much does it cost to send a mattress?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a mattress is more complex and expensive than standard deliveries. Whether you're moving, selling mattresses online, or buying from a retailer, you're looking at costs ranging from $130-280 for ground shipping across the U.S., with premium services reaching $1,500+ for cross-country delivery.

Question 12

Why is it so expensive to ship to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Because we have very high import tariffs. It's very expensive to import things. And this makes products manufactured in the country very expensive as well, because the competition is pricer (with tariffs).

Question 13

What is the best international shipping to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

If you want it relatively fast, use DHL, FedEx, or UPS. They usually only take about 7-10 days, depending on where you are in Brazil. If you don't mind waiting, use the post office. In my experience, anything sent through the post office (Correio in Brazil) takes at least 20 days to be delivered.
