Import eligibility checker
Pick a country and vehicle year for rough guidance. This is not a permit — rules change. Always confirm with official sources, then verify the auction sheet before you pay.
Eligibility is only step one
Even when a year looks importable, condition and fraud risk decide whether the car is worth shipping. Budget with the import cost estimator, check mileage red flags, and read the auction grade against the damage map.
