How importing works

Six steps from your quote request to keys in hand.

  1. 1

    Tell us what you want

    Send a quote request — specify the vehicle, destination port, and any must-have specs. We respond within 24 hours.

  2. 2

    We source it

    We bid on USS / JU / TAA / CAA auctions or check our dealer network. You see the auction sheet and final bid before commitment.

  3. 3

    Pre-export inspection

    Independent inspection (JEVIC / EAA / etc.) issues a verifiable report before the vehicle is loaded — required for many destinations.

  4. 4

    Payment & shipping booking

    Telegraphic transfer in USD or JPY. We book RoRo or container space on the next available vessel to your nominated port.

  5. 5

    Vessel loaded & in transit

    We send loading photos, B/L, and tracking. Marine insurance is in place from the moment the vehicle leaves the yard.

  6. 6

    Arrival & customs clearance

    We hand off to your nominated clearing agent (or one of our local partners). Documents, deregistration, and export certificate included.
