Temporary import and storage moto Moldova or Ukraine
 
I am an EU national. Wanting to ride my UK registered moto from Bulgaria and leave it for a few months in Moldova or Ukraine, in advance of riding east to the 'stans.

So trying to find out about Customs regulation and practises in these two countries, for a non-resident temporarily (maybe 6 months?) leaving a moto there in storage.

My internet and Facebook Overlanding search has not yielded me any information so hoping the wise heads on this site can share knowledge or direct my search please.:thumbup1:

Thanks in advance

Couldn't find any reliable information but from this appears that ukrainian authority has closed loophole and trying to clamp down on vehicles with EU plates (apparently locals ran cars on foreign plates to avoid paying draconian importation tariffs) so I'm guessing the situation there should be difficult. I had no issues back in 2019 but I spent only 4 days there.

IMO considering how flat most of ukraine is and situation in southeast + crimea crossing being off for foreigners I would take turkey route and leave bike in georgia. Much better riding including north caucus in russia.. and if that doesn't attract you there's a ferry from azerbaijan to Kazakhstan.

IIRC someone from ukraine posted a question about carnet try to PM him good luck.
