Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Muscat

Shipping from Shenzhen, China to the USA varies greatly by method: Air Freight takes 3-7 days, Express Courier (like DHL/FedEx) is 1-3 days, while Sea Freight can range from 14-20 days to the West Coast (LA/Seattle) and 25-40+ days to the East Coast (NY/Charleston), with customs and last-mile delivery adding to the total time.

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).

The average price to ship a car from USA to Kuwait ranges from $1050 to $2150, and the duties to import a car to Kuwait from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Kuwait.
