Export Markets
Every market below drives on the right, and we supply left-hand drive only. Import rules change, so treat these notes as a starting point and confirm the details with your customs broker. Full process and documents are in the Shipping & Import Guide.
Central Asia & Caucasus
Countries: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia. All five countries drive on the right, so our left-hand-drive cars fit without change. Rail is the fastest route to Central Asia; the Caucasus is reached by rail and road, or by sea through Georgian Black Sea ports.
Route and ports
Rail via the Khorgos or Alashankou crossings to Kazakhstan, then on to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Azerbaijan and Georgia by rail and Caspian or road routes, or by container to Poti or Batumi.
Homologation
Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are members of the Eurasian Economic Union, which sets common vehicle technical rules; see the Eurasian Economic Commission. Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Georgia apply their own national rules. Check the current requirement with your broker before ordering.

Should I buy from an official distributor or import in parallel?
Check the local distribution and warranty rules first. Changan has official distributors in many of these markets, for example in Azerbaijan and Egypt. We are an independent exporter, not Changan and not an authorised distributor. In some countries a parallel import is legal but the local distributor will not honour the factory warranty or may not service the car. In others, registration or import rules favour the official channel. Ask your broker and, if needed, the local distributor before you order. We will tell you what we know about your market, and we confirm warranty terms on the proforma invoice.
Is your country not listed?
We ship to other left-hand-drive markets too. Send your country and port and we will check the route and paperwork.
