How are stolen cars exported at the port?

From what I understand most of the cars that are being stolen are exported to other countries. How is it so easy to export a stolen vehicle, and why isn’t a title required?

They might use a title for a car that is not stolen. The customs officials might not have time to check the VIN of all cars. They might also use fake papers as not every customs check have access to every database with car registrations and stolen cars. Smugglers know these gaps in the customs network and might have created some themselves. Another thing they can do is to load the cars into containers and then write a fake manifest. As long as the customs do not have the resources to open all the containers and check the content they can export cars this way.
