We handle export paperwork, customs clearance, and shipping. You get the part tracked and delivered to your door. No surprises.
How International Shipping Works for Used Car Parts
When you order through Auto128, we take care of the whole delivery process. We work with trusted carriers and know the customs rules.
Your part is packed securely and shipped from the dismantler in Europe. Then it travels to your country with full tracking.
Step 1: You Place Your Order
You find the part you need by brand or by searching the OEM code. Then you tell us your country and we confirm the total cost including shipping and duties.
We give you a clear price upfront. No hidden fees. You can also request a part if you don't see it listed.
Step 2: We Source and Prepare the Part
Our network of professional dismantlers finds your exact part. They inspect it, clean it, and pack it for international travel.
The part is labeled with your order details. We prepare the export documents so customs clears it fast.
Step 3: Shipping and Tracking
The part leaves Europe on a plane or truck. You get a tracking number so you can follow it all the way.
Delivery times vary by destination. Most packages arrive within 5 to 10 business days. For remote areas it may take a little longer.
Customs and Import Taxes: What You Need to Know
Customs rules differ by country. We handle the export side and give you clear info on what to expect when the part arrives.
Who Pays Import Duties and Taxes?
In most cases, the buyer pays import duties and any local taxes. We show these costs in your quote before you order.
For some countries, we can prepay duties so there is nothing to pay on delivery. Ask us when you order.
What Paperwork Is Needed?
We provide a commercial invoice and a certificate of origin. These prove the part is used and genuine, which helps avoid extra fees.
We also include the OEM part number and vehicle fitment details. Customs may check these to verify the part.
How Customs Clearance Works
The package goes through your country's customs agency. They check the contents and value. Then they release it for final delivery.
Our team guides you on what to do if customs holds the package. We have experience with many countries.
Shipping Costs and Delivery Times
Shipping cost depends on the size, weight, and destination of the part. We give you a firm price before you pay.
Average Delivery Times by Region
To most European countries, delivery takes 2 to 4 business days. To North America, 5 to 8 business days. To other regions, 7 to 14 business days.
These are estimates. Actual time can vary due to customs or local holidays.
How to Track Your Package
After shipping, you get a tracking link by email. Use it to see where your part is at any time.
You can also check your order status on your Auto128 account page. We keep you updated.

Our packaging is strong to prevent damage. But accidents happen. We are here to help.
Comparing International Shipping vs Local Buying
Buying a used genuine part from abroad often saves money compared to buying new locally. But shipping adds some time and cost.
When International Shipping Makes Sense
For rare parts, parts for older cars, or parts with very high dealer prices, ordering from Europe is a smart choice.
You get the exact OEM part with a fraction of the price. And you know it fits your car.
What to Consider Before You Order
Check the total cost including shipping and duties. Compare it to local options. Sometimes the savings are big.
Also check delivery times. If you need the part urgently, local may be faster. But for most repairs, a week or two is fine.
