Cars from the USA delivered to Transnistria
Selection and delivery of vehicles from the USA for clients in Tiraspol and other towns in Transnistria — with a separate route and clearance procedure.
Quick answer
AUTO-M assists with selecting and delivering vehicles from the USA for clients in Tiraspol and other towns in Transnistria. Before purchase, the route, consignee, document set, and applicable clearance procedure must be determined separately — the rules of the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria cannot be combined into one universal calculation.
Current as of August 4, 2026
Customs payments and requirements are checked against official sources in effect on the clearance date. For Transnistria, the State Customs Committee of the PMR and its official calculator should be used, rather than automatically carrying over rates from older articles.
How the process works
The process starts with vehicle requirements and an overall budget. After selection, the VIN, documents, information from available history databases, photos, and auction notes are checked. A preliminary cost structure is then put together and a maximum bid is agreed. Logistics may include transport within the USA, terminal handling, international transport, and land delivery — the route and document set depend on the specific deal.

Frequently asked questions
How does clearance in Transnistria differ from Moldova?
Transnistria uses separate official tariffs and procedures that do not match the Republic of Moldova's rules. The calculation for one jurisdiction cannot be applied to the other — the jurisdiction must be determined before purchase.
Where can I check the current PMR customs committee tariff?
On the official website of the State Customs Committee of the PMR and its official calculator. Percentages from older articles cannot be treated as current without checking the latest edition.
Can an exact delivery time to Tiraspol be given?
Before purchase, an approximate range can usually be determined. The exact date depends on vehicle release, documents, carrier schedule, port operations, and clearance.
Is a car from Copart suitable for registration in the PMR?
This depends on the title type, the nature of the damage, and current requirements. Before bidding, check the original document name and the possibility of later registration.
What documents need to be prepared?
The set depends on the import regime and the specific deal: the ownership document, invoice or auction confirmation, proof of payment, transport documents, and the details of the person registering the vehicle.
