Roads in Japan are slick with Cherry Blossoms each spring as they fall like snow from the trees. Most JDM (Japan Domestic Market Vehicles) have few problems though. The Subaru Legacy with a 2000cc twin turbo engine and 4 wheel drive quickly zigs and zags through the streets just wide enough for two cars to pass. Equally nimble, the MMC Legnum VR4 with Active Yaw Control can roar down the road with best of them. Most people would die to drive the Nissan Skyline GTR (R32, R33 or R34) and now the new R35 due out in most markets in 2008 has even me watering at the mouth to drive the wheels off it!
There are several more things one needs to know about importing and we recieve hundreds of emails each day asking us questions about the entire process. Here is Part II of our Japan Partner Inc. FAQ: We will answer more shipping questions today.
6. What documents will I receive and when/how will they be sent?
We will be sending you the Bill of Lading (BOL), the original Japanese Vehicle Title/Export certificate, this document translated to English and an orginal copy of your invoice. These documents are sent by EMS (Japan Post Express Mail Service) or by another major courier service depending on your country.
7. Who will notify me when my vehicles arrives?
Each shipping company has agents both in Japan and at the port where your vehicle arrives. As long as you have provided the proper telephone number and address they will contact you when the vehicle has arrived and let you know where to pick up the vehicle.
8. What are the import duties and broker fees?
You will have to consult with local authorities in your country as this is payable to your government and broker. These often change and we do not dedicate resources to this effort. Please be sure you can import a vehicle to your country before you make any purchases.
9. Would you be able to ship only a specific part or engine alone?
We can and do support our customers world wide with parts. Often some countries we deal with don't have any manufacturers dealers in their country. To ship an engine for example would go through the same process as a car. You pay for the engine, FOB and the ocean freight cost to ship the engine LCL (less than container load).
10. How is the ocean freight rate calculated?
For shipping by RORO (car ferry) it is the shipper's rate multiplied by the cubic meter volume of the car. Not all areas have RORO service and so we must ship by container. Container shipping is usually more expensive but it is safer and often much faster.
Thank you for reading, we hope this answer more questions than you have to ask!
