Logistics and Import Disclaimer

How Premium Auto Bid provides transport, customs and import-support coordination for vehicles, what we do and do not promise, and how costs, timelines, risk, insurance and per-country obligations are allocated between you and the relevant carriers, customs authorities and third parties.

Effective: 4 June 2026Last updated: 4 June 2026

1. Introduction, Operating Entity and Scope

This Logistics and Import Disclaimer (the "Disclaimer") governs the logistics, transport, customs-clearance and import-support coordination services described below that are offered under the trading brand "Premium Auto Bid". These services are operated by Premium Logistics SHPK, a limited liability company (shoqëri me përgjegjësi të kufizuar) organised under the laws of the Republic of Albania, registered with the National Business Center (Qendra Kombëtare e Biznesit, QKB) under NUIS/NIPT M53004202C, with its registered office at Rruga "Dubai", Lagjia nr. 2, cadastral zone 2066, property no. 89/38, 4-storey building, 2nd floor, Entrance 1, Kamëz, Tirana, Albania ("Premium Auto Bid", "we", "us" or "our").

Effective date: 4 June 2026. Last updated: 4 June 2026. This Disclaimer applies from the effective date and remains in force until superseded by a later version published through the same channels.

This Disclaimer applies to customers and prospective customers located in the markets we currently serve: Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Montenegro. It should be read together with our Member Terms, Privacy Policy and any specific written quotation, service confirmation or instruction we issue for a particular vehicle. Where a separate written agreement we sign with you addresses a matter covered here, that agreement prevails for that matter to the extent of any conflict.

Premium Auto Bid is an independent vehicle sourcing, bidding and import-support platform. We help customers discover Copart auction vehicles and, once they complete identity verification, accept the Member Terms and have an approved deposit, Premium Auto Bid places customer bids on Copart in real time through the Copart API, and then coordinates the subsequent purchase, transport, customs and import process. This document concerns the logistics and import dimension of that service; the bidding, KYC and deposit dimensions are governed primarily by the Member Terms.

Premium Auto Bid is independent and is not owned by, operated by, endorsed by, or officially affiliated with Copart, Inc. Copart and the Copart logo are trademarks of Copart, Inc. Premium Auto Bid places customer bids on Copart in real time through the Copart API, after the customer completes identity verification, accepts the Member Terms and has an approved deposit. Auction vehicles are sourced exclusively through Copart. Any sample listings shown on the platform are clearly-labelled demonstration data: the specific sample cars are not real Copart lots and are not biddable.

2. Nature of the Service: Coordination, Not a Guarantee

Our transport, customs and import support is a coordination and facilitation service. We act as an intermediary and organiser that arranges, instructs and monitors third-party providers on your behalf. We are not the ocean carrier, road haulier, terminal operator, freight forwarder of record (unless expressly stated in writing for a given shipment), customs broker, port authority, classification society, or vehicle inspector. The physical movement of a vehicle, its handling at terminals, its carriage by sea and land, and its formal customs treatment are performed by independent third parties who set their own terms, schedules and liabilities.

Because we coordinate rather than perform these underlying services, our role is to use reasonable care and skill in selecting, instructing and following up with providers, in passing accurate information between you and them, and in keeping you reasonably informed. Our role is not, and cannot be, to guarantee the acts, omissions, schedules, pricing or solvency of those third parties, or the decisions of any customs or tax authority.

Nothing in this Disclaimer is a guarantee of any outcome. We do not guarantee vehicle condition, title, mileage, damage status, history, availability, auction outcome, transit times, customs clearance, duty or tax amounts, or final landed cost. Vehicles are sold AS-IS by third-party auction sources. The word "guarantee" is used in this document only to disclaim guarantees.

Where we describe a step as "support", "assistance" or "coordination", this denotes that the responsibility for the underlying legal act (for example, importation, customs declaration, payment of public charges and registration) remains with you as importer of record in your country, unless a written engagement expressly states that we or an appointed broker act in a different capacity for a specific consignment.

3. Costs, Estimates and Their Non-Binding Nature

Final logistics and import costs are vehicle-specific and route-specific. They depend on a combination of variables that are outside our control and that can change between the time of a quotation and the time a service is actually performed.

Variables that affect cost

  • The specific vehicle: type, dimensions, weight, drivability, whether it is classified as damaged or non-running, and whether it requires special handling.
  • Origin yard and departure port, and the loading point assigned by the auction source or carrier.
  • Route, transhipment points, destination port and inland delivery location.
  • Mode and form of transport (for example, container consolidation versus roll-on/roll-off), and capacity available at the time of booking.
  • Customs duties, value added tax (VAT), excise where applicable, and any other public charges levied in the destination country.
  • Documentation, certification, translation, inspection or homologation requirements imposed by the destination authorities.
  • Demurrage, detention, terminal handling, port storage and warehousing charges, which accrue with time and with congestion.
  • Currency exchange rates, fuel and freight surcharges, insurance premiums, and regulatory fees in force at the time of carriage.

Any figures we provide before a service is performed are illustrative estimates only. They are offered in good faith to help you plan, but they are non-binding, may be based on assumptions, and do not constitute a fixed price, an offer capable of acceptance as a fixed price, or a commitment that the final amount will not differ. Actual amounts are determined by the carriers, terminals, authorities and other third parties involved, and are confirmed only when the relevant invoice, customs assessment or official charge is issued.

Estimates are not quotes for a guaranteed final landed cost. The total amount you ultimately pay may be higher or lower than any estimate, sometimes materially, because of changes in third-party charges, customs valuation, taxes, storage and exchange rates. You should budget a reasonable contingency.

Deposits and balances handled by Premium Auto Bid are denominated in USD (a standard deposit of $750, or 10% for vehicles valued over $7,500). Logistics, customs and public charges may be invoiced or assessed in other currencies (including EUR or the destination-country currency) by the relevant providers and authorities; conversion and any spread or bank charges are part of your cost. Inbound payments to us are operator-confirmed (bank transfer in USD/EUR, or cash in ALL at our Tirana office); you upload proof of payment and our operator verifies it independently. Deposits are separate from, and applied towards or in addition to, the final purchase and logistics amounts as set out in the Member Terms.

4. Timelines and Delivery Windows

Any transit, clearance or delivery timeframe we communicate is an estimate based on normal conditions and on information available at the time. Timelines depend principally on carrier sailing schedules, vessel availability, transhipment connections, terminal throughput, customs processing and inspection queues, and the timely provision of documents and payments by all parties, including you.

We do not guarantee any pickup, departure, arrival, clearance or delivery date. Timelines are carrier-dependent and customs-dependent and may change without notice. Delay does not, by itself, entitle you to cancellation, a refund of third-party charges already incurred, or compensation from us, except where required by mandatory law.

  • Auction-side release, payment processing and title/documentation handling at origin can take time and are controlled by the auction source.
  • Ocean transit and inland movement are subject to weather, congestion, equipment shortages, blank sailings, rerouting and operational decisions of carriers.
  • Customs clearance duration depends on the destination authority, document completeness, valuation or inspection selection, and seasonal volumes.
  • Storage and demurrage clocks may run during any delay; the resulting charges are part of your cost as described in this Disclaimer.

We will use reasonable efforts to keep you informed of material schedule changes of which we become aware and to help mitigate avoidable delay, but we are not liable for the consequences of delays caused by third parties, by authorities, by events beyond our reasonable control, or by incomplete or inaccurate information or late payment.

5. Customer Responsibilities: Information, Duties, Taxes and Registration

Successful import depends heavily on your cooperation and on the accuracy of the information and documents you provide. You are the importer of the vehicle into your country and you bear the legal and financial responsibilities of that role, unless a signed written engagement expressly states otherwise for a specific consignment.

You are responsible for

  • Providing complete, accurate and timely information and documents (including identity, address, eligibility, intended use, and any data required for customs and registration), and promptly correcting anything that changes.
  • Confirming, before committing to a purchase or transport, that the vehicle may lawfully be imported, cleared, homologated and registered in your country, and that you meet any eligibility, emissions, age or technical requirements.
  • Paying all customs duties, VAT, excise and other public charges, inspection, certification, homologation, translation, registration, plating and titling fees, and any storage, demurrage or handling charges, in your country.
  • Cooperating with customs and other authorities, including responding to requests, attending inspections where required, and providing originals or certified copies of documents.
  • Ensuring funds are available and paid on time so that the consignment is not delayed and storage charges do not accrue.
  • Complying with all applicable laws, including sanctions and anti-money-laundering requirements, and not using our services in connection with any prohibited person, jurisdiction or purpose.

Public charges are yours. Import duties, VAT, excise, registration and similar charges in your country are imposed on you by the authorities and are payable by you. Our estimates of such charges, if any, are illustrative; the binding amounts are those assessed by the competent authority.

If information you provide is inaccurate, incomplete or late, you are responsible for the resulting consequences, including reassessment, fines, penalties, additional charges, storage costs, re-export, abandonment proceedings or the inability to clear or register the vehicle. We are not responsible for the rejection of a declaration, a customs valuation higher than expected, or a refusal of registration based on the destination authority's assessment.

6. Risk, Insurance and Damage or Loss Claims

Vehicles are sold AS-IS by third-party auction sources, and risk in the vehicle generally passes to you in accordance with the auction source's terms and the applicable transport documents. Once a vehicle is in the custody of a carrier or terminal, its handling and any loss or damage are governed by that provider's contract of carriage and by the international conventions and laws that apply to that leg of transport.

Transit insurance is not automatically included unless we expressly confirm in writing that cover has been arranged for a specific shipment, the scope of that cover, and that the premium has been paid. Absent such written confirmation, you should assume that the vehicle is not separately insured by us during transit and that you bear the risk of loss or damage subject only to whatever liability the carrier accepts under its own terms (which is frequently limited).

Carrier liability is typically limited by contract and by international convention, and may be far less than the value of the vehicle. If you want fuller protection, you should request and pay for appropriate marine/transit insurance before transport begins, or arrange your own cover. We can assist in arranging cover where available, but we do not act as your insurer.

Handling damage or loss

  1. Inspect the vehicle and its documentation promptly on collection or delivery and note any visible damage, shortage or discrepancy at the point of handover.
  2. Photograph and record the condition, retain all packaging, seals and documents, and report the issue immediately to the carrier, terminal or insurer as the case may be, observing any deadlines in their terms.
  3. Notify us promptly so we can assist you in raising and pursuing the claim with the responsible provider or insurer.
  4. Submit the claim within the time limits and in the form required by the responsible carrier, terminal or insurer; missing those deadlines can extinguish the claim.

Damage and loss claims lie against the responsible carrier, terminal or insurer under their contracts and the applicable conventions. We will provide reasonable assistance in documenting and presenting such claims, but we are not the insurer, do not underwrite the risk, and do not guarantee recovery or the amount of any recovery.

7. Vehicle Condition, Title, History and Auction Outcome

Vehicles offered through Copart auctions are sold on an AS-IS, where-is basis by the auction source and the selling party. Descriptions, photographs, condition reports, mileage indications, damage codes, title or brand designations and history information originate from the auction source or third parties; we pass on such information for convenience but do not independently verify it and do not adopt it as our own representation.

We do not guarantee the condition, roadworthiness, completeness, mileage accuracy, damage extent, title or brand status, history, provenance, availability or auction outcome of any vehicle. Premium Auto Bid places customer bids on Copart in real time through the Copart API once you have completed identity verification, accepted the Member Terms and have an approved deposit; no outcome is guaranteed and winning a lot depends on the live auction.

Because condition, title and history are not guaranteed, you should perform your own due diligence to the extent possible and accept that a vehicle may differ from its description, may carry a salvage, flood, rebuilt or other brand, and may require repair, additional documentation or homologation before it can be cleared or registered in your country. The risk and cost of such matters are yours.

8. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any delay in, failure of, or impediment to the performance of logistics or import-support coordination to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Such events include, without limitation, acts of God, severe weather, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake; war, terrorism, civil unrest, riot or embargo; epidemics, pandemics and public-health measures; strikes, lockouts and labour disputes; port, terminal or carrier closures, congestion, equipment shortages, blank sailings or accidents; cyber-attacks and failures of communications, utilities or transport infrastructure; sanctions, export controls, changes in law or regulation; and acts, omissions, delays or decisions of customs, tax, port or other governmental authorities.

If a force majeure event occurs, the affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the event, and we will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to mitigate its effects. Third-party charges that nonetheless accrue during such an event (including storage, demurrage and detention) remain part of your cost. Force majeure does not relieve you of obligations to pay amounts already due or charges lawfully assessed by authorities.

9. Per-Country Import Requirements (Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro)

Import duties, taxes, eligibility criteria, emissions and age limits, inspection and homologation requirements, documentation, and registration procedures differ between Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Montenegro, and they change over time. We coordinate import support across these markets, but we do not provide tax, customs or legal advice, and the rules of your specific country and current circumstances govern your import.

It is your responsibility to confirm the current import, tax, technical and registration requirements with the competent authorities in your own country before you commit to a purchase or transport. Country-specific information we provide is general and illustrative and may not reflect the latest rules or your particular situation.

  • Albania: confirm applicable customs duty, VAT and any excise, age or emissions restrictions, and registration and technical-inspection requirements with the Albanian customs and road authorities.
  • Kosovo: confirm customs duty, VAT, excise where relevant, any vehicle-age restrictions, and homologation and registration requirements with the Kosovo customs and registration authorities.
  • North Macedonia: confirm customs duty, VAT, environmental or excise charges, emissions/age eligibility, and homologation and registration requirements with the competent North Macedonian authorities.
  • Montenegro: confirm customs duty, VAT, excise where relevant, eligibility and emissions/age rules, and registration and inspection requirements with the competent Montenegrin authorities.

If a vehicle cannot be imported, cleared, homologated or registered in your country, or can only be so at additional cost, that is a risk you accept; it does not give rise to a claim against us for the auction outcome, third-party charges already incurred, or our coordination service performed with reasonable care.

10. Compliance: Sanctions, Anti-Money-Laundering and Anti-Corruption

Our logistics and import-support services are provided subject to applicable compliance laws, and we may suspend, decline or unwind any coordination, payment confirmation or shipment that would breach them or expose us to undue risk.

  • Sanctions: we operate consistently with applicable United Nations, European Union and United States (OFAC) sanctions frameworks, and we do not facilitate transport or import for sanctioned persons, entities or destinations or in breach of export controls.
  • Anti-money-laundering: we apply controls aligned with Albanian Law no. 9917 dated 19.05.2008 'On the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism' (as amended) and the FATF recommendations, including operator verification of identity and source of funds; suspicious activity may be reported to the General Directorate for the Prevention of Money Laundering (the Albanian Financial Intelligence Unit).
  • Anti-corruption: we prohibit bribery and corruption consistent with the anti-corruption provisions of the Albanian Criminal Code, and we apply the principles of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act to our international dealings; facilitation payments and improper inducements to officials are not permitted.
  • Data protection: personal data processed in connection with logistics and import is handled in accordance with Albanian Law no. 9887 dated 10.03.2008 'On the Protection of Personal Data' (as amended) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), under the oversight of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner of Albania (IDP). See our Privacy Policy for details; data-protection enquiries may be sent to privacy@premlogistics.com.

You agree to provide the information needed for these checks and confirm that you are not subject to applicable sanctions and that the funds and purpose of your transaction are lawful. Compliance-related questions may be directed to compliance@premlogistics.com.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our liability arising out of or in connection with the logistics and import-support coordination described in this Disclaimer is limited as set out below, and is in addition to the allocations of responsibility and risk stated elsewhere in this document.

  • We are liable only for direct loss caused by our own failure to exercise reasonable care and skill in our coordination role, and only to the extent such loss was reasonably foreseeable.
  • We are not liable for the acts, omissions, delays, schedules, pricing, insolvency or limited liability of carriers, terminals, forwarders, brokers, inspectors, auction sources or authorities.
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for loss of profit, anticipated savings, use, opportunity, business or goodwill.
  • We are not liable for customs valuations, duty, VAT, excise or other public charges, fines or penalties, or for the refusal of clearance, homologation or registration by any authority.
  • We are not liable for loss or damage to a vehicle in the custody of a carrier or terminal, which is governed by that provider's contract and the applicable conventions.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the mandatory laws of the Republic of Albania or other applicable mandatory law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Where liability cannot be wholly excluded, it is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Disclaimer and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by the laws of the Republic of Albania. Subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rules that may apply in your country of residence, the competent courts of Tirana, Albania, have jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Disclaimer.

The contracts of carriage, terminal handling and insurance entered into with third parties may be governed by their own terms and by international conventions; those terms govern your relationship with those providers and are not displaced by this Disclaimer.

13. Acceptance

By requesting, instructing or using our logistics, transport, customs or import-support coordination, or by proceeding with a purchase, transport booking or payment after this Disclaimer has been made available to you, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and accepted it, including its allocation of costs, timelines, risk, insurance and per-country responsibilities, and its disclaimers of guarantees.

Identity verification (KYC) and acceptance of the Member Terms, together with an approved deposit, are required before any bid is placed on your behalf; this Disclaimer supplements those requirements with respect to logistics and import. If you do not accept this Disclaimer, you should not use the logistics and import-support services.

14. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in our services, in the practices of carriers, terminals and authorities, or in applicable law. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date above and publish the revised version through the same channel as this document.

Changes are not retroactive and apply to coordination requested or performed after the revised version takes effect. Your continued use of the logistics and import-support services after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Disclaimer. We encourage you to review it periodically.
