Can a vehicle with a Florida Certificate of Destruction be exported to Nigeria?

Upon purchase, you will receive a Certificate of Destruction. This document generally allows you to export the vehicle. For detailed guidance on exporting cars from the U.S., please refer to our Guide to Exporting Cars from the U.S.

When you purchase a vehicle that comes with a Certificate of Destruction, it indicates that the vehicle is not eligible for registration or road use within the U.S. However, this certificate does permit the export of the vehicle to international destinations, such as Nigeria. This makes it possible for buyers to use the vehicle for parts or to potentially rebuild it abroad.

Before exporting, ensure you understand the specific import regulations of the destination country, as they can vary significantly. We strongly recommend consulting the U.S. Customs and Border Protection guide, “Exporting a Motor Vehicle,” which provides step-by-step instructions and important tips to help streamline your export process, including requirements for exporting vehicles such as snowmobiles, ATVs, and motorcycles. Understanding the necessary documentation and customs procedures is essential to ensure a smooth and legal transfer of the vehicle overseas.
