How to Import Cars From Japan - 2 Ways to Ship Japanese Cars to Your Country

Buying a Japanese car from Japan may sound like a cool idea but you need to know the proper way to import a car from Japan before you attempt to purchase it. Even if you managed to win the bid for the latest Supra or Skyline and are getting all excited about it, your job does not end there. And there are risks that you could lose the thousands you have spent if you know nothing about how to import a car from Japan. I will show you 2 of the most established methods to do so.

1. Import a car from Japan in a Container Shipment

By shipping your car in a container, you can be assured that your car would not be subject to knocks and scratches. "Wharfies" or hired labor who work on the car carrier ships can be rough handlers and they are not going to be gentle with your car. Scratches and minor damages are to be expected if your car is not properly secured in a container. This could mean sending the car for a new coat of paint which could set you back by a couple of hundreds. At the same time, there is no guarantee your car stereo or parts are not stolen from your car if you do not ship it in a container.

With a container, your car is secured from damages as well as theft. But it comes with some cost naturally. Check out the cost and it usually depends on the size and final destination. If you find it too expensive to do so, or you would rather go for a cheaper alternative, there is.

2. Import a car from Japan using the Roll On-Roll Off Method

When you import a car from Japan using the Roll On Roll Off Method, your car may get some minor scratches during the transit. These can be easily buffed out though. My advice to you is to use this method to ship your car if your car is a used car with a standard paint job. This Roll On Roll Off method of importing Japanese cars is way cheaper.

There is more to the whole process to import a Japanese car to your country. Without getting sound and good information about the entire process, you could be headed for a huge financial loss.
