As soon as you buy a car, i.e. make a prepayment and confirm your order, the car is loaded onto a ship and leaves the US less often - to German, and later to Lithuanian ports. After that, the vehicles are loaded onto a special truck, which is already transporting them to the reception point on the territory of Ukraine.

Most often, however, cars are delivered to the Ukrainian port. Namely, they are heading to Odessa. The path looks like this:

1. 1In a special container, the vehicles you have purchased, together with all the necessary documents, are transported across the ocean. How do you ship a car from the USA? Usually, one large container can accommodate 3-4 cars. Everything will depend on their dimensions and characteristics.
2. 2As soon as the ship with containers, where your car is located, arrives at the port of Odessa, the containers themselves are unloaded. Which are then moved to a special terminal.
3. 3After that, the car is cleared through customs. In the future, the owner will have to pay all necessary duties and excise taxes. This allows you to later issue a car registration certificate and become the legal owner of the car.

The main thing is to study the conditions for purchasing cars from the USA in advance and enlist the help of specialists who prepare all the necessary documents, deal with customs clearance and delivery of vehicles on the territory of Ukraine.

How to conduct an additional inspection of the equipment before purchase? By vin code - enter a combination of letters and numbers that is unique for each specific vehicle. This is an identification number that allows you to get all possible information about a specific car.
