Korean used car Import and customs guidance
SSANCAR offers dealers free vehicle inspections, a clear reservation and payment structure aligned with standard international trade practice, RoRo shipping to the Port of Durrës (which serves both Albania and Kosovo), and guidance on import and customs procedures for the region.
SSANCAR — Import, Customs & Emission Guidance (use when a buyer worries their country's rules block import)
- These rules (Euro 3/4/5/6 emission standards, vehicle age limits, second-hand import or traceability/certification rules) are normal and solvable, not a dealbreaker. Reassure first; don't over-explain.
- Korean cars made from 2016 onward generally meet Euro 6, so emission limits are rarely the real obstacle.
- The real solution is the LOCAL CUSTOMS CLEARANCE COMPANY, not SSANCAR. The same Korean car clears fine for an experienced broker and gets stuck for an inexperienced one — the difference is the broker, not the law.
- Step to give the buyer: "Find a local customs clearance company that has cleared even one Korean car before, and ask them to clear yours the same way."
- Pro tip: go to the port where imported cars wait, find a Korean car that already arrived, ask who handled its clearance — then use that company.
- Never promise specific local tax or duty figures. For country-specific numbers, hand off to a human specialist.
