Vehicle Shipping From Japan Made Simple
Japan Auto Concierge helps customers move vehicles from Japan to international destinations by coordinating export preparation, documentation, and shipping arrangements.
A Simple Journey from Japan to Your Destination
01 — Vehicle Collection & Inspection
Once purchased, your vehicle is transported from the auction house or dealer to our designated inspection location.
We coordinate vehicle inspection, condition verification, and any necessary preparations before export.
02 — Export Documentation & Port Handling
We arrange the required Japanese export documentation, deregistration procedures, customs clearance, and transportation to the departure port.
Our team coordinates with shipping agents to prepare your vehicle for international shipment.
03 — International Shipping
We arrange international ocean freight using Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) or container shipping, depending on the vehicle, destination, and shipping availability.
Customers receive shipping details and relevant documentation as they become available.
04 — Arrival & Import Assistance
Once your vehicle arrives at the destination port, the buyer or their appointed import agent is responsible for local customs clearance, import duties, taxes, registration, and vehicle collection unless otherwise agreed.
JAC provides relevant shipping documents and can assist with coordinating the next steps.
International shipping costs depend on the destination, vehicle dimensions, shipping method, and vessel availability. Import duties, local taxes, registration, and destination delivery are not included unless specifically stated in your quotation. Customers should confirm vehicle import eligibility and registration requirements in their destination country before purchasing.
