Japan Cars Europe

Import Process

Step 1: Consultation & Deposit

After your inquiry, we provide all details and requirements. To access live Japanese auctions, a refundable deposit of 25% is required. This confirms your intent and allows us to start bidding.

Step 2: Auction Search & Purchase

We search the auction system for cars matching your criteria. Once approved, we place bids and purchase your vehicle. An inspection report is included with every car.

Step 3: Inland Transport & Export

Your vehicle is transported to the Japanese port. We handle export paperwork and prepare the car for loading and international shipping.

Step 4: Shipping to Europe

Shipping takes 60–90 days depending on the season and route. Total delivery time is 3-4 months

Step 5: Port Handling & Customs

We handle unloading, customs clearance, port fees and duties. On request we can also prepare all documents required for legal registration in Europe.

Step 6: Delivery & Registration

Once cleared, the car is delivered to your location in Estonia (or another European country upon request). On request we can assist with inspection, registration, and type approval (if needed).
