Dear clients,

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with your local rules and regulations for importing used vehicles. When choosing your car we advise that you check with your local government regarding the restrictions that they impose on used vehicles. There are different sanctions depending on your local law, and we urge you to double check all the information before choosing a car from a North American Auction. This will help avoid any complications that might arise from your government.

Kindly pay attention to the following details: vehicle year and condition, seating capacity, car usage/purpose, engine capacity and so on. For customs clearance please check the title of ownership and other necessary documentation. Besides, check if pre-shipment or any other inspection of a vehicle is required. It is also useful if you can calculate your local import duties and taxes in advance. 
Visit your official government website to keep yourself up to date on this information!
