EIMCAR platform updates search, calculator, and inspection for Korea imports
EIMCAR platform update: unified search, dynamic filters, and an import cost calculator with duties, fees, and multi-currency breakdown.
On January 12, 2026, EIMCAR outlined platform updates for importing cars from Korea to Russia. The focus is clearer pricing, faster selection, and safer checks.
The EIMCAR platform connects the catalog, calculator, and inspection flow so buyers see cost and risk earlier. Calculations show KRW, EUR, and RUB, and vehicle parameters include cm3 and hp.
Below is a concise list of changes and how they help when choosing and ordering a car.
TL;DR
- Unified search separates car queries, knowledge questions, and mixed scenarios.
- Dynamic filters show live counts by make, model, and price or mileage ranges.
- The import calculator uses KRW, EUR, and RUB and shows duties, utilization fee, and 22% VAT for EVs.
- The inspection flow guides users from request to payment with status, deposit, and deadline warnings.
- Updates target buyers importing from Korea and planning budgets for 2026.
Context
Import decisions depend on early visibility into price, customs duties, utilization fee, and delivery costs. Without a single toolchain, buyers often juggle spreadsheets, chats, and screenshots.
EIMCAR brings the key stages into one 4-step route: search, calculation, inspection, and reservation. The goal is less rework and fewer mistakes during selection.
Details
Unified search and dynamic filters
The catalog now shows filters with live counts by make, model, and price or mileage ranges. The system supports a make -> model -> generation hierarchy and quickly recalculates options when filters change.
Unified search also handles mixed queries by showing car listings first and relevant guidance on documents or purchasing next.
Import cost calculator
The calculator accepts a price in KRW and vehicle parameters (year, engine size in cm3, fuel type). Results show a step-by-step breakdown: Korea-side costs, broker and delivery services, customs payments, and utilization fee. For EVs, it displays 20% VAT.
Inspection and purchase
The updated inspection flow guides users step by step from request to invoice. The UI shows photos and videos, vehicle status, and warnings about deposit and payment deadlines. Three payment options are available: card, cash, and crypto.
What it means for buyers importing from Korea
For buyers in Russia, the updates improve transparency before any commitment. Search and filters help cut unsuitable options quickly and keep the shortlist realistic.
The calculator and inspection flow make the process more predictable by showing required payments and documents, plus timing risks that can affect delivery.
What to do
- Start with the catalog and set filters by budget and specs. Open the catalog
- Calculate total import cost for a specific car and compare scenarios. Calculate import cost
- Review the full process and required documents. How it works
If you need clarity on timelines or paperwork, ask a manager for a quick checklist before you submit a request.
