Shipping Cost from Santo Domingo to Ho Chi Minh City

Shipping a 50-pound box costs roughly $40 to $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground/UPS Ground often cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage), and if you use discounts or flat rates. For short distances, it might be ~$40-$70, while cross-country can reach $75-$130+, plus potential $28+ handling fees from UPS/FedEx for heavy items.

Create shipment and documents Draft a commercial invoice with HS code 8471, laptop description, declared value, and country of origin. Include a packing list, generate the Air Waybill (AWB), and ensure the consignee's Vietnamese business tax code is listed, as it is required for customs clearance.

The cheapest shipping company depends on your package, but USPS is usually cheapest for small, light items (under 1lb) with services like Ground Advantage or Flat Rate, while UPS & FedEx often beat USPS for heavier packages (over 5lbs), especially with commercial discounts, though they add surcharges. For best rates, use platforms like ShipStation or Pirate Ship to compare real-time prices across carriers, as they offer commercial discounts that beat retail rates.
