Car Import from USA and Canada – Complete Guide 2026

Learn everything about importing cars from USA and Canada – step by step process, costs, customs, documents and timelines. Complete guide by Fivestar Auto.

Importing a car from the USA or Canada is one of the most cost-effective ways to buy a vehicle in Bulgaria. With the right approach, you can save between 30% and 60% compared to European market prices. In this guide, we explain the entire process from A to Z.

Why are more Bulgarians choosing to import from America?

The answer is simple – price. The American and Canadian car markets offer significantly lower prices for used vehicles compared to Europe. But beyond price, there are other reasons:

  • Lower prices – save 30–60% compared to equivalent European offers
  • Huge selection – access to hundreds of thousands of lots at Copart and IAAI auctions every week
  • Rare models – American classics, pickup trucks, muscle cars, and EVs unavailable in Europe
  • Transparency – every car has a Carfax report with full history: accidents, owners, mileage
  • Good condition vehicles – from Canada we can import fully operational cars without damage
