Cars from Korea to Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is an EAEU member, which gives a tangible advantage when importing cars from Korea: unified certification rules, transparent rates and the option of onward movement across the union. We deliver Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and premium brands to Bishkek, Osh, Karakol, Jalal-Abad and Tokmok. The route runs via Vladivostok with onward rail transit to the border terminal.
