How it works

Importing a car from the USA or Canada has a lot of moving parts. We handle all of them. Here is exactly what happens to your car, step by step.

  1. 1
    1 / 6

    Bid & win your car

    Browse Copart, IAAI or Manheim and choose your car. Unsure about a lot? Send us the link before bidding and we'll tell you what it will really cost delivered to your port.

    Send the invoice — we pay the auction

    Once you win, forward the auction invoice. We pay it on your behalf within the deadline, so you never face late fees or storage charges.

    Towing to the loading warehouse

    An insured carrier collects the car from the auction yard and brings it to the nearest loading warehouse. You get photos on arrival.

    Container loading & ocean freight

    Your car is blocked, braced and strapped inside a container — photographed at each stage — then sails to Umm Qasr, Jebel Ali, Aqaba or Mersin. You receive the container number to follow the vessel.

    Customs clearance at destination

    We prepare the paperwork and clear customs at the destination port. You'll already know the expected fees from before you bought the car.

    Delivery or pickup

    Collect your car at the port, or have us deliver it — in Iraq we deliver to Baghdad and every province.
