Shipping Methods

RoRo or container shipping

The right method depends on the vehicle, destination, budget, and whether extra protection or multi-unit shipping is needed.

RoRo Shipping

Roll-on/Roll-off shipping is commonly used for running vehicles. The car is driven onto the vessel and collected at the destination port.

Container Shipping

Container shipping is useful for higher-value vehicles, non-runners, parts shipped with a vehicle, or multiple units on one route.

Route Planning

We confirm port options and shipping availability based on your destination country and vehicle type.

Quote Terms

FOB, C&F, and CIF explained

Every quote should be clear about what is included in Japan and what remains at destination.

FOB
Free On Board

Vehicle and Japan-side costs up to loading on the vessel. Sea freight, insurance, and destination costs are separate.

C&F
Cost & Freight

FOB plus sea freight to the named destination port. Insurance and destination clearance are separate.

CIF
Cost, Insurance & Freight

C&F plus marine insurance to the named destination port. Destination duties, taxes, and clearance remain buyer-side.

Import duties, taxes, customs clearance, and inland delivery in your country are not included unless specifically stated.

Inspection Support

JEVIC, JAAI, and destination checks

Some countries require pre-shipment inspection or age/model confirmation. We identify the likely requirement for your destination and help arrange the required Japan-side inspection support.

JEVIC Support

Used where destination rules require JEVIC or similar pre-shipment inspection confirmation.

JAAI Support

Used where destination rules require JAAI confirmation for age, model, chassis, or roadworthiness.

Rule Confirmation

We check the destination requirement before shipment and recommend confirming final import eligibility with your local clearing agent.

Tracking & Handover

Stay updated after vessel booking

After shipping is booked, we share the available schedule and document status so you can coordinate with your clearing agent before arrival.

01

Booking Update

Shipping method, vessel details, and expected departure or arrival information are shared when available.

02

Document Update

We confirm which documents are ready and how originals or releases will be handled.

03

Arrival Prep

You coordinate destination clearance, taxes, port charges, and pickup with your local agent.

Destination Countries

Common export destinations

Customers ask about many routes, including Pakistan, Nepal, UAE, the UK, Africa, the Caribbean, and other markets. The reference below helps start the conversation.

Pakistan

Confirm current age, scheme, duty, and port requirements before choosing a vehicle.

Nepal

Plan for transit routing, document requirements, and local tax calculations before purchase.

UAE

Clarify whether the vehicle is for local use, re-export, or onward movement before quoting.

United Kingdom

Check registration, tax, approval, and document requirements for the exact vehicle.

Africa

Many African routes require inspection support and destination-specific age or drive-side checks.

Caribbean & Other Markets

Share your country and port so we can confirm the route and paperwork expectations.

Import Rules & Buyer Responsibility

Import rules by country

Import rules, duty and tax rates, age requirements, and drive-side rules vary by country and change over time. Rather than publish figures that may go out of date, we guide you with the current requirements for your destination. Please confirm current rules with your clearing agent or the relevant authority before purchase. This page is general guidance, not customs or legal advice.
