From enquiry to your port
How importing your car from Korea works
Four clear steps. At each one we say what you get and what we do not promise. Nothing is paid before you have seen the inspection report and received an official invoice.
You choose the car
Usually same day
Search the stock on the site, or send us the model, year and budget on WhatsApp and we will look for you. The inventory comes from Encar, Korea's largest used-car platform.
Every car carries its original Encar listing id. You can take that number and check the car yourself on Encar — we do not hide the source.
- Filter by make, model, year, mileage and budget
- Encar listing id shown on every car
- Prices displayed in US dollars
We send a written quote
Usually within 24 hours
You get a full breakdown: car price, our fee, sea freight and marine insurance — each line separately, with no vague bundled totals.
We go through the Encar inspection report with you and explain what it means: recorded accidents, replaced panels, odometer history. If something about the car concerns us, we say so.
- Line-by-line price breakdown
- Encar inspection report explained
- Extra photos and video on request
A quote is an estimate, not a binding offer. Customs duty and import taxes in your country are not included — you pay those to your own customs authority, not to us.
Payment and official invoice
Depends on your bank — one to three days
Payment is by bank deposit or SWIFT wire only, and only after you approve the written quote, review the inspection report, and receive an official invoice in the company name.
We do not take cards, crypto or cash. That is deliberate, not a gap: a bank transfer leaves a formal record with a named beneficiary you can verify before you send anything. Scammers prefer methods that leave no trace.
- Official invoice before any transfer
- Beneficiary name you can verify
- No payment before you review the inspection report
We are a referral broker. The seller and exporter is a licensed Korean partner who contracts with you directly. We say this plainly because it changes who you sign with and who you pay.
Shipping and tracking to your port
16–26 days at sea
The car ships by sea with marine insurance. You receive a tracking reference and the shipping documents, and you follow the status until it reaches your port.
After arrival, customs clearance happens in your country. We send you the required document list in advance so nothing is a surprise at the port.
- Marine insurance on the shipment
- Shipping documents and tracking reference
- Customs document checklist for your country
Typical sea transit is 16–26 days depending on the port, and it can slip because of vessel schedules or weather — that part is outside our control.
Is this a scam? Verify us in five minutes
A fair question when you are sending a large sum to a company overseas. Every point here is something you can check yourself, without taking our word for it.
- We are in Korea, where the car is. Our office is in Siheung, Gyeonggi-do — inside the Korean used-car market, not a PO box. Full address on the contact page.
- The legal entity is zoonix LLC, registered in Wyoming, USA — the registration number is on our About page and can be checked against the state register. The operation runs from Korea, the company is registered in the US. We say both plainly, because that is the name on your invoice and on the bank account you will pay.
- Every car carries its original Encar listing id. Take the number and check the car on Encar yourself.
- Ask for a video call. We will walk you around the car live before you pay anything.
- Watch the inspection video on our How We Verify page — real footage of what we check, not stock imagery.
- We will never ask you to transfer to a personal account. The invoice and the beneficiary name are the company name, and you can match them before you send anything. If anyone — us or anyone else — asks you to pay a personal account, stop.
