Why the steering side decides the market
Germany builds left-hand-drive cars. That is why this list looks the way it does: markets that require right-hand drive — Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, the United Kingdom and much of East and Southern Africa — are not realistic destinations for German stock, whatever the price looks like. We would rather tell you that up front than sell you a shipping quote for a car that cannot be registered when it lands.
The same goes for markets that restrict used imports outright. Egypt, for example, permits used passenger vehicles only under a year old, so a German used car is not an option there regardless of condition.
The German side never changes
Wherever the car is going outside the EU, the procedure in Germany is identical: purchase, optional independent inspection, export registration plates, the ATLAS customs export declaration, and the exit confirmation that makes the sale a zero-rated export delivery. The differences all sit on your side of the border — duty, age limits, emission class — and that is what the individual market pages cover.
