The process without the gloss: real transit times from our own shipments, current freight rates and 2026 duty rates. Where we have no data, it says so.
There are two routes out of Montreal. Cars go by sea to the port of Poti, Georgia — 38 days on average across our last 18 sea shipments. BRP powersports (ATVs, snowmobiles, side-by-sides, watercraft) fly to Almaty in 5 days on average, then continue to Bishkek by road. Air freight for a car is quoted separately on request.
| Cargo | Mode | Destination | Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cars | sea | port of Poti, Georgia | 38 days on average |
| BRP powersports | air | Almaty, then Bishkek | 5 days on average |
Cars normally travel by sea — it is the cheaper route. Air freight for a car is quoted individually: if speed matters for your order, we will price it.
Buying takes seven steps: you pick a unit from stock, get an invoice from Alpha Auto (Quebec dealer permit OPC 2109609-1) and pay by bank transfer; we prepare the Canadian export paperwork and ship by sea or air; then you clear customs in your country and register the vehicle. Units are in Montreal, in transit, or at our warehouses in Georgia and the UAE.
Across our last 100 shipments, air freight from Montreal to Almaty took 5 days on average, with nine in ten arriving within 7 days. By sea, a car reaches the port of Poti in 38 days on average, nine in ten within 54 days. We measure from the actual departure to the actual arrival, not from what a carrier promises.
| Route | Shipments | Fastest | Average | 9 in 10 arrive within |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air | 82 | 2 d | 5 d | 7 d |
| Sea | 18 | 15 d | 38 d | 54 d |
The spread matters more than the average. At sea it comes from vessel schedules and transhipment; in the air, from available cargo space. Plan against the right-hand column, not the average. One-off delays do happen beyond it: across our last 100 shipments the slowest air consignment took 19 days and the slowest sea one 55. Those are exceptions, and we would rather name them than hide them.

Customs clearance is done by the buyer in their own country, directly or through a customs broker; we prepare the Canadian export documents but cannot provide a certificate of origin. What you pay depends on who imports: a private individual pays a single rate on a new car that already covers both duty and taxes, while a company pays EAEU duty plus VAT.
EAEU duty for a company in Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan is 15% of customs value on a new car (12.5% for petrol engines over 2,800 cm³), 5% on a straddle-seat ATV or a snowmobile, and 15% on a side-by-side. VAT comes on top: 12% in Kyrgyzstan, 16% in Kazakhstan.
Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are both in the EAEU, so import duty rates are common to both, while VAT and local fees differ. Below are the rates for each country, separately for a company and for a private individual, with links to the legal texts.

|---|---|
| New car, petrol, up to 2,800 cm³ | 15% of customs value |

The final amount of duty, taxes and fees is calculated by a customs broker in the destination country — where we have no confirmed figure, the table says so.
Our main method is a bank transfer to the account of Alpha Auto (9487-1373 Québec Inc.) in Montreal. We invoice an individual or a company, whichever suits your customs clearance, and both sides keep a bank-issued proof of payment. Other arrangements are discussed case by case; the final amount is fixed on the invoice.
No. The factory warranty ends when a vehicle is exported from Canada: BRP covers units only in the country of purchase, and Toyota and Lexus cover only vehicles registered and normally operated in the US and Canada. A manufacturer service centre in your country does not change that. We offer no warranty of our own, but we help you order genuine parts.
That is not our policy — it is the manufacturers’:
A manufacturer service centre in your country does not change this: a local dealer has no obligation to service a vehicle bought abroad. This applies to every exporter — if someone promises you otherwise, ask for it in writing.
We do not offer a warranty of our own. What we do: sell new, unused units with full documentation and VIN, and help you order genuine parts.
Yes, you can buy just one: the minimum order is a single unit and there is no wholesale threshold. We sell to private buyers and to dealers; for companies, the invoice, contract and export paperwork are issued in the company name. Many of our regular clients started with one trial purchase and moved on to regular sea and air shipments.
Below is part of our current stock (12 units), each with its own page showing photos, price and shipping. All of it is already purchased: in Montreal, in transit, or at our warehouses in Georgia and the UAE. If the model you need is not listed, we source it to order and quote price and timing for your request.
We also ship genuine accessories for Can-Am, Ski-Doo and Sea-Doo: BRP accessories wholesale — by the pallet, or together with a machine you buy from us.
The short version: the minimum order is one unit; payment is by bank transfer to the company account; the buyer handles customs clearance; the factory warranty does not survive export; we cannot provide a certificate of origin. The seller is Alpha Auto, a licensed vehicle merchant in Quebec. We do not ship to Russia or Belarus.
