Buying and leaving a car in Ukraine

[bkrevel]

Hi
Does anyone have any info about buying a used car in Europe (Poland, Hungry, etc); driving it into Ukraine, using it to travel for a month or so, then leave/give the car to family.
Is insurance a big problem? or not really.

Any thoughts or experience with this scenario?

You'd have to pay an import duty if it was left there. IIRC it's 30-50% of the value of the car. Many locals buy a car then dismantle it to bring it in then reassemble it to escape the import costs.

If you are just ouring Ukraine you get a 6 month window before yoy must leave with the car.
I'd do some more research on this though. Things might have changed from when I looked at this.

Thanks for the info.
I will look forward to your update.
I live just south of you in BC, near Vancouver.

Have a nice day
