Ship Cars to Sweden from the USA: Get Instant Shipping Rates

The car shipping cost from the USA to Sweden is $1,300 from New Jersey, $1,475 from Florida and $2,100 from California for a car in a shared container to Gothenburg, when the car is at our warehouse. Pickup from your address is added in the calculator. To Gävle, a car in a container is $3,400 from New Jersey.

Additional destination charges in Sweden are not included in the base ocean rate. At Gothenburg they run SEK 5,725 to 6,200 for unloading, terminal handling and local port fees, plus customs clearance, VAT and duty where applicable, paid in Sweden.

Our shared container service splits the cost of the box between cars, which is how one car ships for $1,300 from New Jersey.

If you're shipping classic cars, high-value cars, electric cars, or non-running vehicles, we prepare the US export documents, and your customs agent handles Swedish import and EU compliance and inspections.

Optional Cargo Damage Protection covers the car from our warehouse to the port in Sweden, and we recommend it for high-value or collectible cars.

Gothenburg and Gävle

We ship most vehicles through the Port of Gothenburg, Sweden’s main port for container traffic, with rail and truck connections for onward delivery across Sweden. Gävle, on the east coast, is our second Swedish port.

For shipments between Sweden and the USA, we load vehicles into containers at our US warehouses or arrange transport from your seller in Sweden to the port. Our team prepares the US export paperwork and hands the car to your customs agent in Gothenburg.

If you need port pickup or local delivery at either end, we coordinate the full process, for arrival in the USA or a return shipment back to Sweden.

RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping from the USA to Sweden is designed specifically for oversized vehicles, commercial trucks, and heavy machinery that can be safely driven or towed onto the vessel. While pricing is often similar to container shipping, RoRo fits units that exceed standard container dimensions or require ramp loading.

If you’re moving a large or heavy vehicle from the USA to Sweden, our RoRo shipping calculator and dedicated RoRo services page provide quotes tailored to your equipment size, weight, and loading needs.

RoRo to Sweden is ideal for:

• Heavy machinery (excavators, loaders, cranes, tractors)
• Oversized vehicles, buses, and commercial trucks
• Units that can be driven or towed onto the vessel

Shipping your car from the United States to Sweden starts with US export documents and ends with Swedish import clearance. Below are the key documents to ship a car from the USA to Sweden and to prepare it for customs and registration in Sweden.

• Bill of Sale for the vehicle
• Original Vehicle Title (If there is a lien on the car, a lien release letter is also required)
• Power of Attorney Form (Required for both international residents and US citizens)
• Copy of Passport (For international residents)
• Copy of EIN Letter (For US citizens)
• Completed Online Shipping Form
• Import Declaration for Swedish customs
• Vehicle Registration Records

Certain US states do not issue titles for classic or vintage cars, including Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. If your vehicle originates from one of these states and does not have a title, a notarized Bill of Sale may be required instead for Sweden car import approval.

Our export team prepares the US export documentation, and your customs agent in Sweden handles the Swedish customs requirements.
