Importing used Korean cars to Albania

Korea is Albania’s largest source of imported cars (about 18,800 units in 2024), and encarexport is the only Korea-side exporter localized in Albanian. Left-hand-drive Korean stock matches Albania’s right-hand traffic, and the Euro 4 emissions floor plus the 10-year age cap favor the low-mileage Hyundai and Kia sedans and compact SUVs that make up most Korean export volume.
