There is no 'set' price on importing a car, fees range as listed below:

  • Import Tax of 2.5% for cars, 2.4% for motorcycles and 25% for trucks (that is not a typo, truck imports are expensive) - based on the vehicles value;
  • EPA & DOT compliance fees - if the vehicle does not meet EPA & DOT standards you must pay a EPA & DOT certified shop to upgrade the vehicle to standards;
  • "Gas Guzzler Fees" if the vehicle does not get 22.5 MPG then there is a gas tax on the vehicle;
  • Shipping Container Fees, the vehicle must be in a shipping container and the fee is based on the container costs + shipping destinations;
  • Cleaning Fees, yes your car must be steam cleaned inside and out to prevent any insect or soil contamination,
  • Inspection Fee's, these fees vary depending on the vehicle (to ensure compliance with items above).

Please Note: US Residents are given a One Time per Life (only once in your lifetime) exception to 'some' of the requirements above, also: Vehicles that are destined to some type of non-use museum are also exempt from some of these fees.

Depends on what you are importing. If its a cheap Toyota Corolla it would cost around the 1k to 2k to import. However if you are importing a Mercedes or Ferrari, the cost of importation can skyrocket to 5k or higher. But overall it depends on what service you use. From my personal experience it cost me 7k to import my Mercedes CLS. Again, it just depends on what service you use.
