Why does the shipment go through Klaipeda instead of directly to Odesa?

Sea freight to Black Sea ports carries elevated war-related risk, which makes vessel and container insurance significantly more expensive, and some shipping lines don't call at Ukrainian ports at all. Klaipeda is a major, reliably operating EU port with direct sea lines from the USA; from there the car is delivered to Ukraine by truck. This route is more reliable and often faster.

How long does shipping take on the USA to Klaipeda to Ukraine route?

The full journey usually takes 45-60 days: 3-7 days to move the car from the auction to a US port, 25-35 days for the ocean crossing, and another 5-10 days for port handling in Klaipeda and truck delivery to Odesa. Exact timing depends on the shipping line's schedule and port congestion.

Do I have to pay EU customs duties while transiting through Klaipeda?

No. The car is processed under a customs transit procedure (a T1 document), which allows the cargo to move through EU territory without paying EU duties or VAT. All customs payments are made once, when the car is cleared in Ukraine.

How does customs clearance work in Ukraine after shipping via Klaipeda?

Once the truck arrives at the Ukrainian border or a bonded warehouse, the car is declared under the standard procedure: an electronic customs declaration is filed, duty, excise tax, and VAT are paid, and the car undergoes conformity certification. Our brokers manage the process from filing the declaration through to handing you the finished documents.

How can I track the car at every stage of the route?

As soon as the car is loaded at the US port, you receive the container number and vessel details, which you can use to track the shipment on the carrier's website. During the truck leg from Klaipeda, our manager gives you an estimated arrival date and keeps you updated at each key stage.

Advantages of an Electric Car

Cost-effectiveness

VAT and customs duties on electric vehicles have been eliminated

Minimum costs for importing an electric vehicle—customs duties and VAT have been eliminated through 2025. The only fee that must be paid when clearing electric vehicles through customs is the excise tax (1 euro per 1 kW, which amounts to 50–200 euros per vehicle)

When you buy, you save up to 40% compared to the cost of similar models manufactured in other countries. There is a favorable customs clearance process for electric vehicles in Ukraine—the price is not increased by VAT or customs duties. You pay only the excise tax (1 euro per 1 kW).

Maintaining the motor of a car like this is less expensive than maintaining an internal combustion engine. You save on fuel (electricity costs are 85% less than gasoline or diesel) and don’t have to spend money on oil changes, consumables, or motor maintenance.

Electric Cars: Eco-Friendly and Affordable Transportation

Environmental issues are among the most pressing today. The increase in the number of gasoline-powered cars over the past decade has contributed to the deterioration of the natural environment: air pollution, the intensification of the greenhouse effect, and damage to the climate and the environment. Therefore, our country, like others, is tightening regulations on the levels of harmful toxic substances in vehicle exhaust. Demand is growing for custom-ordered electric cars from the U.S. as an alternative mode of transportation.

Why You Should Buy an Electric Car

The costs of maintaining gasoline-powered cars and the price of fuel are constantly rising. An electric car will help you save money on maintenance, repairs, and other operating costs. The cost of electric cars at auctions in the U.S. is 20–30% below the market average, making the purchase more attractive. The cost of customs clearance for electric cars consists solely of an excise tax of 1 euro per 1 kW.

The downsides of electric cars are considered to be their lower top speed compared to gasoline-powered cars and their shorter driving range. However, this becomes a significant factor when traveling outside the city or over long distances. For daily city driving, an electric car from the U.S. is the best option. Even with a higher price tag compared to traditional cars, transportation costs are reduced by a factor of 4 to 5.
