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

Is it cheaper to drive or ship a car?

Accepted Answer

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

What's the cheapest way to ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship internationally depends on package size/weight, but for light items (<4.4 lbs), USPS First-Class Package International is usually cheapest ; for heavier items, using multi-carrier platforms (like Easyship, Pirate Ship ) to get discounts on USPS, DHL, UPS / FedEx economy services (like FedEx International Connect Plus)** offers the best balance of cost and speed, as these platforms leverage volume discounts and consolidators for better rates than direct.

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.

Expect to pay roughly $2,500-$4,500 for a one-bedroom equivalent to Europe/Asia, while large moves can hit $8,000-$13,000+, with air freight being the priciest but fastest option.

For heavy boxes, carriers apply extra fees, so compare FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, and USPS Ground Advantage, plus consider flat-rate options if the box is compact.
