The FOB price includes all the regular costs for getting your car onto the ship (although not the shipping , ocean freight, itself). Once the car arrives in our country you will pay freight collect, compliance, registration, duty, tax etc. and all other costs there. You will have to find out what these will be as each nation has different laws concerning car imports.

9. Your countries import & registration restrictions:

We assume that the buyer knows what can and cannot be imported to the destination country. We will not bear responsibility for cars purchased if the buyer does not inform us before bidding of what restrictions are on vehicle importing. When bidding please enter relevant info into the Message box ( eg. Must be less than 5 years old, must have airbag etc.) for anything that is not obvious and not be seen (clear) in auction sheets.

We assume that buyers are familiar with the regulations concerning import approval and compliance for their own countries. As such, the responsibility to comply and register the car is entirely the buyers. We will deal with everything in the export process until the vehicle is landed in your country.

Customs, compliance, tax, duty, registration is entirely the buyers responsibility so please make sure you are familiar with all the regulations governing car importing into your nation.
