When you need to have your personal vehicle with you in the Kyrgyz Republic, you first need to speak to a reputable auto transporter to find out what you must do to ship the car. There will be paperwork to fill out and documents that you will need to provide to both the transport company and customs. Most of the roadways in Kyrgyz Republic are paved, but many are gravel and even dirt lanes.
Driving is accessible throughout the year for most vehicles, but drivers must be careful in the winter when the roads may be covered with heavy snow and ice. When you need to get your vehicle to you, the quickest way to do so is to make sure you hire a transporter and have all of the necessary paperwork and documents to provide to begin the process.

You can import your car permanently into the City Limit, but you must pay all customs taxes in full to do so. For more information on Customs regulations, you can check with the Kyrgyzstan Embassy located in Washington, DC. You may also contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency for information on paperwork and customs laws for United States citizens exporting their vehicles or other personal items to the Kyrgyz Republic.
Before your vehicle leaves the port
Before your vehicle is even loaded at the exit port, you need to make sure that the auto transporter has given you a total quote that includes the cost of shipping, transport to and from the port, cleaning and miscellaneous items that will be included in the total cost. Your agent will detail anything you will need to do personally to prepare your auto for shipping, including cleaning, removing personal belongings and other details that may need to be taken care of. If you are missing any of the necessary paperwork or required documents, the agent will let you know so you can retrieve them before shipping. If you won’t be able to drive the auto to the exit port yourself, you will need to make arrangements with the auto transport company to pick it up and deliver it to the port. You can also arrange to have the auto-picked up and delivered when it reaches the local delivery if you cannot be present when it arrives.
Cargo Methods
There are three primary ways to ship an auto from the United States to the Kyrgyz Republic from the United States. You will need to decide which area works best for you. Since this Area is a landlocked country with no seaports of its own, you can ship into nearby ports and have the overland auto-transported to your location. These are the ways you can ship your car:
- Ro-Ro Shipping—Your automobile will be driven onto the carrier ship and secured in place with straps and braces for security. Once it reaches the exit port for Kyrgyzstan, it can be driven off the ship and to your location over land. Ro-Ro Shipping is the least expensive way to transport a car internationally. You will not be able to transport any personal items when you use Ro-Ro Shipping.
- Container Shipping - Your automobile will be loaded into a container and then transported via sea at the Area's port. Once it reaches the port, you may either have it picked up and driven to your location, or it can be transported via container on railways or truck over land. While shipping via container is more expensive than Ro-Ro Shipping, it also allows you to ship personal belongings along with your automobile.

When you contact us to arrange for overseas shipment, we will discuss all of your available choices with you. Please find below some basic details about each of our transportation options.
