Frequently Asked Questions

Buying From Korea

Can I buy a vehicle I have not seen in person?

Yes, and this is the normal case. The protection is that we inspect the unit in Korea before the purchase is completed and send you the report and photographs first. You are approving a documented condition, not a listing.

What if the vehicle does not match the listing?

We do not buy it. Your deposit stays against your order and we return to the shortlist.

Do you sell only Korean-made cars?

No. We source whatever is available in the Korean market, which includes European and Japanese vehicles sold in Korea as well as Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, and SsangYong.

Cost

What does the quoted price include?

Your written quotation sets out exactly what is and is not covered. Destination customs duty and local clearance at your port are separate and are paid by you.

Can you tell me the customs duty in my country?

We will tell you what we know, but we will not quote a figure we cannot stand behind. Duty rates and eligibility rules change and are enforced at your port. Confirm them with your customs authority or clearing agent before committing.

How is payment made?

Payment terms are set out in your quotation and confirmed in writing before any funds are transferred. Nothing is due on a basis you have not agreed to in advance.

Shipping

How long does shipping take?

It depends on route, vessel schedule, and season. Your quotation states the expected window for your specific shipment, and we tell you when a schedule changes.

Which documents do I receive?

Your quotation lists the document set for your shipment and destination. It will include the commercial invoice, the Korean export and de-registration paperwork, and the bill of lading.

Can you ship parts and a vehicle together?

Yes, in a container. This is often the more economical option when you are ordering both.
