Vehicle shipping from Korea

ROUTES FROM KOREA

From purchase in Korea to the destination port or address

We collect the vehicle from the seller or marketplace, check the documents and loading readiness, then select the port, carrier service and shipping method. If final delivery is included, we plan it from the start.

How we select the shipping method

RoRo

Roadworthy vehicles

For vehicles that can drive onto the vessel and meet the carrier and port requirements.

Full Container Load

High-value and non-standard vehicles

Used where a controlled loading plan is needed, including damaged and non-running vehicles.

Air freight

Urgent assignments

Considered once the flight, airport handling and vehicle acceptance are confirmed.

TIMING

Timing depends on the route: these are real references

Incheon → Khor Fakkan → Jebel Ali37 days from vessel departure
Busan → Gdańsk52–57 days
Busan → Los Angeles13–20 days
Busan → Antwerpabout 51 days

37 days is the timing of one completed container shipment, measured from vessel departure in Incheon. The other figures cover only the ocean leg. We check schedules, documents, terminal operations and post-arrival delivery before confirming a full delivery window.

Questions about vehicle shipping from Korea

Can you collect a vehicle from Encar, K Car or Hyundai Glovis?

Yes. We arrange collection from Hyundai Glovis Autobell, K Car and Encar, as well as from dealers and private sellers across Korea.

What do you need for a shipping quote from Korea?

Send the make and model, a link or collection address, vehicle condition, destination country and address or terminal, number of vehicles and preferred timing. Attach any vehicle and marketplace or dealer documents you already have so we can check the export part sooner.

Do you source vehicles or bid at auctions?

No. We join the process after the vehicle is purchased and arrange export and transport.

Which Korean departure ports do you use?

Busan, Incheon and Pyeongtaek are our most common departure ports; Ulsan is an additional option. The choice depends on the collection point, shipping method and carrier schedule.

When should I choose RoRo, a container or air freight?

RoRo suits roadworthy vehicles that can drive onto the vessel. Containers are considered for high-value, damaged and non-running vehicles. Air freight is for urgent assignments with a confirmed route and acceptance.

Can you ship a damaged vehicle, EV or hybrid?

Yes, after checking the shipping conditions. Damaged and non-running vehicles usually need a container and a safe loading plan. For EVs and hybrids, we confirm carrier, port and documentation requirements separately.

Can you file the customs declaration in the destination country?

Yes, when declaration filing is included in the order. Before departure, we agree the country, consignee, document set and customs responsibilities.
