From first inquiry to keys in your hand — here's every step explained
Buying a car from the United States and shipping it internationally might sound complex — but with Charisma Auto, it's straightforward. We've refined our proven process to eliminate uncertainty, reduce costs, and deliver your vehicle with complete peace of mind.
Contact us by phone, email, or the form on our site. Tell us which vehicle interests you — or describe the car you're looking for (make, model, year, trim, color). We respond within 24 hours.
We source the vehicle from auction or dealer stock, run a full CARFAX history report, conduct a physical inspection, and send you a complete photo/video package before any commitment.
You receive a transparent, itemized quote: vehicle cost, port loading fee, ocean freight, marine insurance, and estimated import duties for your country. No hidden extras.
Confirm your order with a deposit. Payment options include bank wire transfer and other secure methods. We provide a formal sales contract before any funds are transferred.
We prepare all US export paperwork: title in your name, EEI (Electronic Export Information), Bill of Lading, and a commercial invoice. All documents meet the requirements of your destination country.
Your vehicle is delivered to our partner port facility (Los Angeles, Baltimore, or New Jersey) and loaded onto an ocean carrier — RoRo or container, whichever suits your vehicle and destination.
We share real-time vessel tracking so you always know where your car is in transit. Typical transit times range from 14 days (Europe) to 35 days (Southeast Asia).
Your vehicle arrives at the destination port. We provide all documents needed for customs clearance. Our partners in many countries can assist with the import process on your behalf.
Original certificate of title transferred into your name, authenticated for international use.
Official shipping document from the ocean carrier — required for port release at destination.
