Shipping Cost from San Francisco, California to Seoul

Shipping to South Korea from the US can range from ~$20 for light items (1-2 lbs) via economy services (like USPS First Class or Asendia) to over $100 for heavier packages or fast express delivery (FedEx/UPS), with prices heavily depending on weight, dimensions, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier; expect around $30-$60 for 1-5 lb packages and over $100-$200 for 10+ kg (22+ lbs) via air freight, while sea freight offers cheaper but much slower options for large items.

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.

When combined with other U.S. brands sold in Korea, including Ford, Jeep, Cadillac, Lincoln, Chevrolet and GMC, U.S. brands sold 61,802 units. Led by Tesla, the market share of U.S. vehicles among imported cars in Korea has steadily risen.
