Used Japanese Car Import Australia: A Buyer's Overview
A concise overview for buyers: how used Japanese car imports work and how a broker gets the car to your driveway.
Summary
Used Japanese cars can be imported to Australia if they meet eligibility and compliance requirements. A broker confirms the car can be imported, sources it (e.g. from auction, with inspection by our team in Japan), manages compliance and certification, and coordinates shipping and delivery to your location. We service all major Australian capitals.
The Process in Brief
You tell us what car you want. We confirm it can be imported to Australia. We source the vehicle — including via Japanese auction where our team inspects and purchases on your behalf — and manage all compliance and certification (e.g. RAWS where required). We coordinate shipping and customs clearance and deliver to your chosen port or location. You then register the vehicle in your state or territory. We service Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart.
Why Use a Broker?
Eligibility, compliance, shipping and clearance involve multiple steps and parties. A broker gives you one point of contact and ensures the vehicle actually can be imported and registered. We also provide the advantage of team in Japan to inspect and buy at auction, so you have better visibility over condition and price. See our Japanese car imports page for full details.
