Shipping

Most cars go in a shared 40-foot container from a US east-coast port to Klaipėda, typically about $1,300 per car and 25–35 days door to door. Prices change with the season and the departure port, so type your own quote into the calculator.

Good to know

Klaipėda is one of the busiest ports for US auction cars heading to the Baltics, Belarus and beyond.
A one-off registration tax based on CO₂ emissions is extra.

Check the car before you bid

US auction cars often have a past: earlier accidents, a flood title in another state, or a previous rebuild. A VinCode report shows title brands, total-loss events, odometer readings and earlier auction sales for the VIN. See the fees on their own in the Copart and IAA calculators.
