Importing used Korean cars to Mongolia
Mongolia is Korea's neighbor and a genuinely open market for used cars — no age limit on imports, and left-hand-drive Korean cars are the native, preferred configuration. EncarExport gives Mongolian buyers direct, self-serve access to Encar's full live catalogue and every car's official Korean inspection record, shipped via China to Ulaanbaatar.
Import rules - Mongolia
- Vehicle age limit
- No age limit
- Steering
- Left-hand drive - all our Korean cars are LHD
- Duty & taxes
- A customs duty applies, plus 10% VAT and an excise duty that scales with engine size and vehicle age (older, bigger-engine cars pay more). The exact customs-duty percentage is genuinely disputed between sources we checked — reported figures range from roughly 5% to over 20% — so we don't state one here; confirm the current rate with us for your specific car before committing.

- No age limit on imports — older cars simply pay a higher excise duty based on engine size and age, not a ban.
- Mongolia drives on the right, and Korean left-hand-drive cars are the native, preferred configuration — no conversion needed. Right-hand-drive vehicles are also permitted with an import license (roughly half of Mongolia's existing fleet is right-hand-drive, mostly Japanese), but left-hand-drive requires no extra paperwork.
- Mongolia is landlocked; cars typically travel by sea from Korea to Tianjin, China, then by rail across the border at Zamyn-Uud to Ulaanbaatar — a route that includes a rail-gauge change at the border and usually takes several weeks in total.
