Frequently asked questions
Can I bring a damaged car into Romania?
It depends on its document. With salvage, parts only or a total loss mark, RAR won’t issue a CIV, so there’ll be no number plates. A car with a clean title can still be damaged. Lots like that do come up, and those are the ones we look for.
What’s the import duty in Romania now?
Since 1 July 2026 it’s 0% on cars built in the US. Cars built in Canada, Mexico, Japan and elsewhere stay at 10%. The buyer has to prove origin, and customs decides.
How much is customs clearance in Ukraine?
10% import duty (0% for electric), excise by a formula based on engine size and age, 20% VAT and a 3–5% pension fee. The calculator works all of this out at once.
How long will I wait for the car?
Usually 6–10 weeks to the port or border, then the paperwork. Nobody can give a date in advance, because it depends on the yard, the port and the ship. We give you a realistic timescale for the specific lot.
