We find the right car in Germany, negotiate the price, handle the paperwork and customs, and deliver it — to your door inside the EU, or to your port or border anywhere else.
Autohaus Berlin is a German car sourcing, delivery and export service. We are based in Berlin and buy cars in Germany for customers in 49 countries — 23 EU member states, where no customs procedure applies, and 26 export markets across Europe, Africa and Asia — then ship them home.
Read the full summary
In practice we do five things: we find the car by searching German dealer and private listings and verifying its history and condition; we negotiate the price with the seller on the customer's behalf; we arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection and a video walkthrough or in-person test drive so the customer approves the exact vehicle before anything is bought; we handle all paperwork, including contract translation, export registration plates, the ATLAS customs export declaration and the complete export file; and we ship the car by RoRo or container from Bremerhaven or Hamburg to the customer's nearest port, insured and tracked.
We are not a dealership and we do not hold stock. We work as the buyer's agent in Germany, for a fee agreed in advance. We work in Arabic, English and German.

Two ways a car leaves Germany
Read more
Where the car is going decides how much paperwork there is. Inside the EU there is almost none. Outside it there is a full export procedure — and we run it.
Delivery inside the EU

No export declaration, no customs clearance, no waiting for a vessel. The car is driven or trucked to you. What is left is the sale itself and the VAT treatment, which we confirm in writing first.

Common questions
How much does your service cost?
There's no flat fee. Once we understand which services you need — sourcing, inspection, shipping — we send you a tailored offer based on the car and the scope of work.
What paperwork do I receive with the car?
You receive the German purchase contract with a translation, the vehicle's registration document (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II), the ATLAS customs export declaration, the bill of lading from the shipping line and the marine insurance certificate. Those are the documents your destination customs authority asks for when the car is cleared. We send scans by email as soon as each one exists, so nothing is waiting on the post, and the originals travel with the vehicle.
How long does the whole process take?
Sourcing usually takes a few days to a few weeks depending on the car. From an agreed purchase to delivery at your port, shipping typically adds another 3–5 weeks.
