Reselling imported cars

Nuances of reselling an imported vehicle

Key points

  • Registration required

    Only a registered car can be sold — uncleared/unregistered can't be sold legally.

  • Re-registration

    Sale contract + re-registration at MVS centre or electronically via Diia (in some cases).

  • Damaged history

    US-auction rebuilt cars — state honestly in the ad: hiding it voids the deal and invites court.

  • Taxes

    Selling 2+ cars/year is taxable income (5% + military levy); the first car/year is tax-free.

Documents for the buyer: conformity certificate, customs declaration, repair service history (for rebuilt cars). An honest repair photo history raises the price 10–15% — buyers pay for transparency.
