Cars from Korea to Vladivostok

Vladivostok is the shortest and cheapest route for cars from Korea. From the Port of Busan to the Zelyony Ugol market is just 1–3 days by sea. That lets you either take the car "as is" from the port (self-collection) or have customs cleared on site through our broker and collect it with its papers. The same car here is usually $3,000–$5,000 cheaper than in Moscow.
