Import a US used car to Georgia via Poti — full VIN check for $4.99

Poti port is the CIS's largest entry point for US auction cars. Thousands land weekly, many branded salvage in their US state but sold as "lightly damaged" by the dealer. A single battery-damaged Tesla can cost $8,000 to repair.

What our report shows

  • Full accident history from every reporting US state and insurer.
  • Title brand changes — salvage, rebuilt, flood, fire, junk and lemon-law buy-backs.
  • Copart and IAAI auction sale records, condition grades and damage photos.
  • Every reported odometer reading across the vehicle's US life.
  • Lien records and open-finance flags from US banks and credit unions.

Why this matters for Georgia importers

Georgia imported $1.18 billion in US passenger vehicles in 2024, making it the second-largest European buyer of US used cars after Lithuania (Source: US Census HS8703 2024). The Poti free zone is the redistribution hub for the wider CIS — vehicles landing in Georgia are commonly re-exported to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and even Russia.

Russian-speaking dealers in Tbilisi and Rustavi advertise "clean Copart cars" on social networks, but a significant share of inventory was branded salvage, rebuilt or flood-damaged in the US. Because US title brands do not carry over to Georgian registration, the brand effectively disappears the moment the car clears Poti customs.

The single largest trap right now is the undisclosed-battery-damage Tesla. Copart sells thousands of accident Teslas per month; many have invisible battery pack damage that only shows up in the vehicle's OBD scan. Our report lists the auction condition grade, damage location, and any manufacturer buy-back or lemon-law event tied to the VIN.

Red flags specific to Georgia

⚠ "Clean" Tesla at 10% of retail — battery pack damage
Teslas sold at Copart for 10–20% of retail almost always have battery damage. Repair cost starts at $8,000. The VIN's Manheim/Copart lot sheet will show "battery check needed".
⚠ Rebuilt title scrubbed by Kentucky or Oklahoma
KY and OK re-issue clean titles for export. Our NMVTIS query returns the full brand chain regardless.
⚠ Poti dealer listing with VIN obscured in photos
If the online ad crops out the windshield VIN plate, assume the car has a history the dealer doesn't want cross-checked.
⚠ Auction photos show airbag deployment
An airbag deploy event is an automatic structural-damage red flag — even if the listing says "minor front damage".

FAQ — importing US cars to Georgia

No — Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs does not import US title brands. That's exactly why the US-side report is critical: once the car clears Poti, the salvage brand is invisible to local buyers.

Yes. Copart's Poti lane cars all have US-side auction records. Our report pulls those even when the Copart listing is for the Georgia (country) auction.

Yes. Our report surfaces the Copart condition grade, damage location notes, and any prior collision events. Battery-specific diagnostics require an OBD scan, but the auction damage description is a strong indicator.

The site and this page are fully Russian. The report itself is in English — US title brand codes are English-only by design.

We show US-side records only. Georgian and Russian registration events are not currently included.

Carfax is $44.99 and does not update as fast on salvage auction results. Our $4.99 report pulls the same NMVTIS + Copart + IAAI feeds with a 24-hour refresh.

Stripe presents GEL at checkout for Georgian-issued cards. Crypto (BTC, USDT) is also supported.

Georgia does not manufacture passenger vehicles domestically at scale, so almost every VIN you'll see is US/EU/Asian. Our decoder handles all 17-character VINs worldwide.
