Ship or Sell separates an already-owned vehicle from a newly purchased Europe vehicle and from buying a replacement after arrival. Those scenarios can have different tax treatment.
The $250 Infrastructure Maintenance Fee for a same-owner vehicle first registered in another state does not apply to active-duty military members, spouses and dependents. Same-owner first South Carolina registration after prior registration in another state generally carries a $250 Infrastructure Maintenance Fee.
Vehicle Infrastructure Maintenance Fee is generally 5% of sale/fair-market value, capped at $500.
Local taxes, prior registration, military residency, Home of Record, prior tax paid, purchase timing and county/city rules can change the result. Ship or Sell only inserts a dollar tax when the mapped rule has enough facts for a defensible estimate.
Enter VIN, mileage, origin and destination ZIP. Ship or Sell combines shipping, inland delivery, state costs and replacement-market data.
