Thanks for posting this as I am very interested in the cost of importing a vehicle permanently from the EU into Ukraine and I know its complicated.

Unfortunately this is a rather poor quality English translation (most likely done electronically rather than by a human).

Do you have a link to the original in Russian or Ukrainian text? If so please provide it.

My wife may be able to make better sense of it prior to translation.

Cheers.

No I'm sorry that was sent to me by a friend of a friend who converted it into English knowing that I do not understand Ukrainian. I was thinking about bringing a car into Ukraine but the concensus of opinion is don't, too much hassle and potential for bribery at the border. I also believe that if you enter with a car, you cannot leave Ukraine without it (if I got sick and needed to return quickly to the UK). You would need to import it into the Ukraine permanently to get this liability removed from your passport. That would cost a disproportionate amount of cash in import tax.

Some folks there that I know have purchased cars in Europe, had them dismantled then ship the parts to Ukraine. There they are re-assembled and titled w/o paying the 30 odd % import duties.
My stepson is getting ready to buy a car now and he was looking at getting a Korean auto. He said that they are imported incomplete! In Ukraine they add tires, wheels and mufflers. It's alot cheaper import duties that way.
