Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to import a car from the USA?
Ocean shipping takes 40-50 days on average, plus 1-2 weeks for pickup from the auction yard and container loading. The exact timeline depends on the state and the shipping line's schedule.
Which auctions do you buy from?
Mainly Copart and IAAI - the two largest US auto auctions. You choose the car, and we handle the purchase, payment, and transport arrangements on your behalf.
Where do cars ship from and where do they arrive?
Cars are loaded in various US states - Texas, Georgia, New Jersey, California, Florida, Indiana - and from Canada (Ontario). Cargo arrives at the port of Poti or Batumi.
How will I know where my car is?
You receive a photo report at every stage: auction yard, terminal, container loading, and port unloading. You can also track the vessel by container number in the shipping line's official system - use "Container Tracking" in the site menu.
How much does shipping cost?
The cost depends on the auction location, vehicle size, and destination port. Contact us or request a call - a manager will give you an exact quote within minutes.
Is the car insured during shipping?
Container shipping is itself the most protected method, and cargo insurance terms are agreed individually depending on the vehicle's value.
How does customs clearance work in Georgia?
The customs fee depends on the car's year, engine size, and type (hybrid, electric, petrol). Our team helps you prepare all documents and complete the procedure.
Can I buy a damaged car?
Yes - most auction cars are sold with an insurance status, and that is often the best price. We review the lot together in advance so you can realistically assess the damage and the title type.
How do payments work?
The won lot is secured with an advance payment, and the rest is paid in stages - purchase, shipping, customs. Every payment is documented.
Who checks the car's history before buying?
Always check the VIN before buying - the site has a dedicated search for it. Our managers also analyze the lot: damage, title type, and auction history.
