I was wondering, if someone has an experience trying to ship a car from South Korea to a Foreign country such as EU or US.

I am planning to ship my car but I found out that the GU office ask the licence plates in order to allow the export.

Problem is that in the other country you need to have a licence plate to be able to use their road for a limited time.

waiting for some more infos... thanks

What kind of car are you trying to export?

Often, the U.S. version of Korean cars are significantly cheaper.

I am trying to bring the car to France

It's an SUV chevrolet captiva aka winstorm.
I bought it 5 years ago new.

feel nostalgic about leaving the car behind

probably better to sale before leaving, will avoid hassle of paperwork, taxes and high maintenance costs.

if someone is interested !

It also depends on the car. I have a European brand car but one that was intended for the US market (speedometer is in MPH, temperatures are in degrees F, etc.). I would have no problems bringing this car to the US since that's the market it was intended for. However, even though it is a European car, it is likely I would have a lot of trouble bringing it to Europe.

A lot depends on the market the car was intended for and where you are trying to bring it.

I decided it was too much hassle to bring the car back home (France)

so I will put my car for sale.

thanks everyone for your answers.
