6-Step Process

Our Import Process

Importing a vehicle is a big decision. We guide you through each stage, explain things as we go, and make sure expectations are clear from the start.

01

Consultation & Budget Guidance

We discuss your needs, budget, and preferences. We explain the import process, timelines, and what to expect at each stage.

02

Vehicle Sourcing

We search Japanese auctions for vehicles matching your criteria. We analyse auction sheets, photos, and condition reports.

03

Bid Approval & Deposit

Once you approve a vehicle, we place the bid on your behalf. You pay a deposit to secure the winning bid.

04

Purchase & Shipping

The vehicle is purchased and prepared for export. We arrange shipping from Japan to an Australian port.

05

Customs & Compliance

We handle customs clearance, import duties, GST, and coordinate the compliance inspection process.

06

Registration & Delivery

We assist with Victorian registration and arrange delivery of your vehicle to your location.

Why Import from Japan?

Lower kilometres and better condition

Japanese vehicles are typically well-maintained with genuine low mileage due to strict inspection standards and excellent road infrastructure

Transparent auction history

Complete documentation and grading system provide clear vehicle history, allowing for informed purchasing decisions

Access to vehicles not readily available in Australia

Wide selection of models, special editions, and specifications that are rare or not imported to the local market

Higher specifications compared to local market cars

Japanese domestic market often features superior equipment, performance options, and factory specifications

Importing isn't about shortcuts — it's about making informed decisions.

Understand the Real Cost

Transparent pricing starts with clear expectations

Vehicle Price

The auction purchase price plus any applicable fees

Shipping & Insurance
