Importing a car from the USA through a broker is a convenient and safe option, especially for first-time buyers. The broker handles the entire process: from bidding at auction, through shipping and customs clearance, to delivering the vehicle directly to the customer’s doorstep. Their fee covers full service and helps minimize the risk of costly mistakes. Modern auction platforms are becoming increasingly popular, giving customers more control – they can select vehicles themselves, while the broker handles everything else. It's a fast, transparent, and cost-effective solution for informed buyers.
Importing a car from the USA can be a complex and time-consuming process – especially for individuals doing it for the first time. This is where the role of the importer comes in: a professional company that manages the entire process, from finding the right vehicle to delivering it to the customer’s doorstep.
An importer acts as an intermediary between American auction houses (such as Copart and IAAI), which do not cooperate with private buyers, and end customers in Europe. Using a licensed broker account, the agent can legally bid on vehicles on the client's behalf, then handle the entire logistics chain and paperwork – both in the US and in Poland. This is not just about buying a car, but about managing the full supply chain and documentation process.

Because it saves you time, money, and stress. Of course, you can try importing a car from the USA on your own – just like you can try cutting your own hair. But in most cases, the result won’t be quick or satisfying. An experienced broker helps you avoid costly mistakes and unexpected problems, which are especially common for those importing more than one car per year.
A new model of importing is also gaining traction: auction platforms that let customers browse and choose vehicles themselves from Copart and IAAI listings. The broker handles only the bidding, documentation, and shipping. This makes the entire process faster, more affordable, and more transparent – an ideal solution for buyers who know what they’re looking for and want more control.
