Frequently Asked Questions
Answers regarding Japanese auction bidding, CIF quotes, ocean transit schedules, and port customs documents.
Select an available car from our stock or submit an auction request. We provide the complete Japanese auction inspection sheet and a calculated CIF quote to your destination port before any deposit or bid is finalized.
CIF covers Cost, Insurance, and Freight: the vehicle purchase cost in Japan, Japanese inland transport to port, export customs clearance, roadworthiness inspection certificate, marine cargo insurance, and ocean freight to your destination port.
An auction sheet is an independent vehicle inspection report prepared on the morning of auction by certified Japanese assessors. It assesses exterior panels, interior cleanliness, structural repairs, and verifies official odometer mileage.
We arrange Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) ocean carrier service and 20ft/40ft container shipping from Yokohama, Nagoya, and Kobe ports. RoRo is the most economical method for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
We dispatch the original Japanese Export Certificate (Deregistration Certificate), Commercial CIF Invoice, Bill of Lading (BoL), certified English translation, and pre-shipment inspection certificates (EAA, JAAI, or JEVIC as required).
Once booked, buyers log into the customer portal to track shipment milestones: yard arrival, inspection status, vessel name, booking number, departure date (ETD), and estimated arrival date (ETA).
