Automobile Shipping

A couple of things to remember! Some cars are not manufactured imports into the U.S. because they do not meet safety and emission standards. But its easier than finding an import company and give them some basic information such as, by, for, what it is, handling requirements, weight, and if you want air or sea surface. A vehicle without special handling, weighing 3400 pounds, from Japan to California will cost you $ 2,261.00 by air and sea surface $ 639.00.

Cuttlekid Hey, do not believe those online submissions. There is no way you can send a car from Japan to the United States by air for $ 2,261. Heck, a indivudal could not even fly business class for that amount. $ 639 seems pretty close (but I think it would be more like $ 1,000), provided it is RO-RO (roll-on roll-off), which means that your car is driven onto the ship, and hunted, and are not stored in a container, and are thus exposed to the weather. Cuttlekid is just about smog rules, but it is not necessarily more stringent than others, just different sets of standards. In general, unless you think shipping is extremely rare, precious car, it would not be worth it.
