Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Cancun

Generally, shipping a car to Mexico costs between $1,200 and $1,700 on average. In addition to the shipping quote, you will probably need to pay import taxes and fees. Depending on factors such as the type of vehicle, distance, and shipping methods, the total shipping costs can sometimes reach up to $3,000.

Importing a car from China to the US involves significant costs beyond the car's price, including ocean freight (around $1,000-$3,000+), ~2.5-3% duty for vehicles (plus potentially 25% for trucks/SUVs), CBP fees, ISF/AMS filings, insurance, and domestic transport, with estimates often landing in the multi-thousand dollar range ( $2,750 - $3,350+ just for shared container shipping, plus duties/fees). The biggest hurdle is often the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), as most Chinese cars aren't compliant, requiring expensive modifications or falling under rare exceptions (like 25+ year old classics or specific modifications).

How long does it take to ship from China to Mexico? Rules of thumb for lead times (in regular conditions) are 1-2 weeks for regular post, 3 days for air express freight, 8-10 days for air freight, and 30-40 days for ocean freight.
