At CDU, the export game finally becomes accessible — and that’s the whole point. For years, only the dealers who could afford our $15,000 mentorships got the real plays on exporting cars from America, Canada, Africa, and the Middle East. Smaller dealers were hungry, but locked out of the knowledge and the opportunity.Now, for the first time ever, we’ve taken everything from the export mentorship — every strategy, every system, every step — and turned it into a full digital video course. No gatekeeping. No waiting. Just unlock the knowledge and run your own export business.
At CDU, success looks different for everyone — and that’s the point. Some start with nothing but hunger, like our first student who was driving Uber and now owns a dealership and a mechanic shop. Teens launch U.S. dealerships, beginners ship cars overseas, and others flip their first cars or find their lane. No matter where they end up, everyone leaves with skills, confidence, and real hands-on experience.

Not necessarily a physical dealership, but you do need the right licences/registration to export legally and to get auction/access privileges.
Why:
What to do next:
If you’re unsure which licence you need, CDU’s Export Program covers the different licence options and the fastest path to get set up so you can start shipping legally.
It varies by vehicle and destination, but CDU’s materials recommend you should expect at minimum a few thousand dollars to do your first export; a practical learning-phase figure is ~$5,000.
Why:
What to do next:
Run a simple deal worksheet (purchase + shipping + port/clearance + taxes + margin) for the market you want to target. CDU’s course walks students through exact per-car shipping and tax numbers so you can calculate the real capital required for your first container or single-car export.
Yes — but it’s more complicated and requires careful compliance, title/workflow management, and the right partners (registered importers, brokers and export paperwork).
Why:
What to do next:
If you’re planning a Canada→U.S.→overseas flow, map the route for a single test vehicle, confirm the title/RI process for the U.S. leg, and get quotes for the additional handling/shipping and any re-export paperwork. CDU’s Export Program includes the step-by-step systems and vetted partners to run that exact path safely and profitably.
