Entrepreneurs
Who need full support for a car from the US — from the estimate to the handover.
SGS LOGISTICS GROUP LLC
An international logistics operator for long-term B2B partnerships
Eight years in automotive logistics. You choose the cars and work with your clients — SGS handles the purchase, the payment, the shipping and the paperwork.
01 / For whom it is suitable
Who we work for
The shape of the partnership depends on who you are and what exactly you want to hand over to SGS.
Car dealers
Who are not getting the service they need from their logistics contractors.
Companies
For whom 24/7 communication and complete transparency matter.
02 / Our services
Our services
Eight areas that cover a car’s journey from a US auction to handover to you or your client.
Access to the auctions
IAAI, Copart, Manheim, Carmax Auctions, America’s Auto Auction, Cars.com, CarGurus.com
US → EU → Ukraine delivery
An end-to-end route, with a leg through Georgia where that works out better.
Ocean freight
Container loading, freight to a European port, vessel details and an estimated arrival date.
Customs clearance in the EU and Ukraine
Terminal handling, preparation of the document pack and support through clearance.
Brokerage and forwarding
Export paperwork, work with lines and terminals, and cargo supervision on every leg.
Photo and video record
The condition of the car is recorded at the warehouse and before loading — stills and video sit in the vehicle record.
Insurance with compensation
The car is insured for the route; damage in transit is compensated on the terms of the contract.
Buying new cars from dealerships
Not only auctions: we buy new vehicles directly from US dealer networks.

04 / Frequently asked questions
What to agree before you start
The format of cooperation depends on the number of cars, routes and tasks that you want to transfer to SGS.
Is there a minimum number of cars?
Conditions depend on the regularity and required set of services. Tell us about your volume - we will offer the appropriate format of cooperation.
Is it possible to grant different access to employees?
We discuss this need during the demo: an owner may need all vehicles and costs, a manager may need statuses and tasks, and an accountant may need invoices and payments. Available roles are confirmed for the current version of SGS Workspace.
Can we start with a few vehicles?
Yes. The first cars will help to check the exchange of documents, statuses and interaction of teams before the transition of the entire flow.
Can we connect our CRM or ERP?
Tell us what data you want to transfer and in what format. The possibility of integration and its scope will be confirmed separately by SGS after a technical evaluation.
The beginning of cooperation
