FAQ
Can EZ Auto ship cars to Belarus?

Do you handle import clearance in my country?
Export clearance in China is on us. Import clearance is handled by you or your local broker; we supply all documents and advise on requirements per country.
How long does shipping from China to Belarus take?
Belarus is inland, so cars arrive by rail through the Russia or Kazakhstan corridor (commonly the Astana–Minsk route), typically 20–30 days from China depending on transshipment and border formalities. We confirm the current schedule for your consignment before you book.
Does Belarus EAEU membership lower import costs?
Yes, in principle. As an EAEU member, Belarus applies the common EAEU customs tariff and technical regulations, so vehicles cleared in one member state can move within the union under the same framework. Preferential treatment for individual importers and electric vehicle incentives have applied on a time-limited basis. Because these windows expire, always confirm the current regime with Belarus customs or your broker.
Are electric vehicles cheaper to import into Belarus?
Belarus has offered reduced or zero duty and VAT relief on electric vehicles under time-limited incentive programmes. These programmes are extended or allowed to lapse by government decision, so we treat them as current-until-confirmed rather than permanent. Ask us to verify the active incentive for your shipment date, and confirm directly with your broker.
