Everything You Need to Know About Importing from Japan
You tell us the make, model, year, and budget you want. We search Japan's auctions, send you a clear quote, and once you approve and pay, we win the vehicle, handle the export, and ship it to you.
Not at all. Everything is done remotely — we're your eyes and hands on the ground in Japan. You'll receive auction sheets, photos, and updates by email or WhatsApp at every step.
Most countries allow Japanese used-vehicle imports, but the rules vary — age limits, steering side, and emissions standards differ. We'll confirm your country's requirements before you commit to anything.
We bid across Japan's major auction groups — USS, JAA, and TAA for vehicles, plus ARAI and Ritchie Bros. for heavy machinery — with tens of thousands of listings every single week.
Japanese used cars and machinery are famously well-kept and low-hour. Every listing comes with an independent auction sheet grading its true condition, inside and out, so there are no surprises.
Port-to-port delivers your car to your nearest arrival port, where you handle customs. Door-to-door takes it all the way to your address, with us coordinating destination customs and inland transport.
By RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) or inside a container, depending on your destination and preference. We'll recommend the safest, most cost-effective option for your vehicle.
It depends on your destination — typically 2 to 6 weeks on the water once the vehicle is purchased and the documents are cleared. We share tracking with you the whole way.
JEVIC is a pre-shipment inspection required by many countries to confirm roadworthiness, mileage, and — where needed — radiation and biosecurity checks. We arrange it as part of the export.
Your export certificate, commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading — everything your customs authority needs to clear the vehicle at your end.
Your total is the winning auction price, our service fee, and freight. We give you one clear, all-in quote up front — no hidden costs and no surprises later.
Purchases are made by bank transfer (T/T). Many orders are secured with a deposit, with the balance due before shipping — we'll confirm the exact terms for your order in writing.
For most orders, yes — a deposit lets us bid on your behalf, with the balance due once we win the car and before it ships.
Your destination country may charge import duty, tax, and clearance fees. These are set by your government, not by us — but we'll help you estimate them in advance so there are no shocks.
Auctions are competitive, so we may not win the first car we bid on. If we don't win, your bidding deposit simply rolls over to the next vehicle — you never lose it.
