Located in the Eastern Europe, Belarus is a scenic yet landlocked country sharing its borders with Russia at the northeast border, Ukraine on the south side, Lithuania and Latvia on the northwest side, and Poland on the western side. It was originally a part of erstwhile USSR and after the collapse of the communism; it is on a path of rapid growth and development.
For those visiting or moving to Belarus on a short-term or permanently, if you plan to bring your motorcycle over with you, there are various aspects to consider. You will need to keep in mind that Belarus is part of the European Union which means certain rules and regulations will apply to your import.

Submission of Documents
The documentation required for importing a motorcycle is the standard paperwork for many auto imports to European Union. You will need to make copies of the following documents before your shipping date:
- Original and clear title to your motorcycle
- Bill of sale if you have owned it for less than six months
- Photo passport or ID
- Power of Attorney if our shipping agent will be picking up your motorcycle at the port
These documents will need to be used in order to clear your shipment at the U.S Customs. Without the proper paperwork, your shipment could be delayed. Hiring our shipping agent will ensure that this process will go more smoothly and you will feel more confident. Once the import is complete and you have your motorcycle in Belarus, you will want to save your documents in order to register your motorcycle for the road. You may also want to return your motorcycle someday to the United States which these documents will be required as well.
Temporary Shipments
If you want to take in the views and tours of Belarus while you are there, you will not regret your decision. Before you can begin to think about driving in this country, you will first need to decide which port you plan to ship your motorcycle to. While temporary shipments/imports do not need to be registered, you will still need to have motorcycle insurance that is active at all times. In fact, your motorcycle will need to have active insurance in order to drive on the roads.
