Import used cars from South Korea to Kosovo — KORAUTO, Prishtinë
KORAUTO is a used-car importer based in Prishtinë, Kosovo, specialised in bringing verified cars from South Korea to buyers in Kosovo (and supporting homologation/registration in Albania). You choose a car from our Korean catalog; we handle inspection in Korea, payment to our official account, RORO sea shipping, customs, homologation and delivery. KORAUTO is the first company in Kosovo to import Korean cars. It has about 5 years of experience shipping cars from South Korea to Kosovo, can import up to 50 cars per month, and has imported 3,000+ cars.
Why buyers in Kosovo import from South Korea
Korean used cars often offer strong equipment and recent model years for the price, compared with many European alternatives. Importing them is a multi-step process (selection, inspection, shipping, customs, registration), so buyers look for a local company that runs that process end to end. KORAUTO is set up for that route: Korea → Durrës → Kosovo.
How it works
Selection
Choose a car from the catalog of verified Korean-market offers (filters for brand, model, year, price and fuel).
Inspection in Korea
Our team in South Korea runs a full technical inspection and verifies the chassis (VIN), mileage and vehicle history.
Payment
After you accept the inspection report, full payment is made to the company’s official account at Raiffeisen Bank Kosovë.
RORO shipping
The car leaves South Korea on a RORO ship. Departures are organised about every 20 days.
Arrival
Arrival in Durrës is about 33 days from departure.
Customs and documents
We organise customs clearance and the legal documentation.
Homologation and registration
Support for homologation and local registration in Kosovo and Albania.
Delivery
The car is delivered cleaned, checked and ready for registration.
Typical timeline: about 4–8 weeks from South Korea on average, depending on the port and customs procedures. The sea leg alone is about 33 days to Durrës after departure.
What it costs to import a car from South Korea to Kosovo
Catalog prices are shown in EUR and are labelled “up to Durrës” (deri në Durrës). They cover the base car cost to that point. Transport beyond that point, customs, insurance and registration are added and specified in the final offer (see the terms).
Each car page has a “Calculate Kosovo total” calculator so you can see an estimated all-in figure for Kosovo.
In-stock cars on the homepage are priced “with customs” (Me Dogan) — customs already included in the listed price.
There is no separate public fee schedule on the site. The per-car calculator and the final written offer are the sources of truth.
Catalog
About 147,000 Korean listings are published in the catalog, including Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Genesis and many other brands. A smaller in-stock lot is available in Kosovo with customs included.
