Car Import from Japan
Import cars from Asia / Japan
Numerous vehicle manufacturers come from Japan. The best known are Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Suzuki or Mitsubishi, but brands such as Daihatsu, Lexus or Subaru also originate there. In Japan itself, vehicles are increasingly bought as new cars. The reason for this is that prices there are the lowest in all of Asia. Since the supply of new and used cars in Japan is very large, it can be economically viable to buy a car in Japan and import it to Germany.
May we import a vehicle from Asia for you? Then please send us an email or use our contact form.
Which vehicles are increasingly imported from Japan and Asia?
Vehicles imported from Japan are primarily the classic Japanese brands:
- Nissan
- Mazda
- Suzuki
- Mitsubishi
- Lexus
- Honda
- Subaru
- Acura
- Infiniti
However, many classic cars and even classic German models are also imported as re-imports from Japan. This includes brands such as Mercedes or BMW, as well as Porsche.
Import used cars from Japan
When importing used cars from Japan, special attention must be paid to the fact that Japan has left-hand traffic. This means that the steering wheel is on the other side than we are used to in Germany. Although the steering wheel itself is not a reason for conversion, the lights must be adapted to German road conditions, as the asymmetry would otherwise blind oncoming traffic.
If you have any questions about the modifications to your Japanese import vehicle, please feel free to contact us.
Our tip: Also, please note that a tuned vehicle approved in Japan will not necessarily receive approval on German roads. Different regulations apply in Japan, and even heavily modified vehicles can be approved there.
Import from Japan – how does it work?
When importing from Japan, there are several things you need to consider.
The documents must be checked. Not only can the language be an obstacle, as the vehicle documents are written in Japanese. It is often advisable to employ a translator for this. We have partners in Japan who check the documents for accuracy on our behalf.
The transport or shipment from Japan must be organized. The Global Logistic Group is located near Bremerhaven, which is the largest German port of call for vehicle imports from Japan. This is also one reason why we specialize in importing vehicles from Japan.
The purchase and customs clearance when importing vehicles from Japan
As a logistics company, we are happy to act as trustees for the purchase. This naturally includes checking the documents. This means that we will inspect the vehicle and documents for you and handle the entire purchase process.
In Japan, purchasing from auction houses is very popular. We are also happy to advise you on purchases made through an auction house.
As a logistics company, the purchase formalities such as the purchase agreement and the resulting values for customs and customs clearance when importing your vehicle from Japan are no obstacle for us. We are happy to assist you with the import of your vehicle from Asia.
Especially when importing, transport and customs costs are naturally incurred.
Customs costs for imports from Japan
The costs are percentage-based and are based on the purchase price and transport costs. In exceptions, the percentages may deviate from the specifications mentioned here.
Classic Cars 7%
Passenger Cars 10%
Trucks, SUVs and Pick-Ups 22%
The import VAT is 19% and is also based on the purchase price and transaction costs. In addition, customs duties are also added here.
An exception to this are classic cars with 7%.
Although importing a vehicle from Japan incurs some import and tax costs, it can still be economically viable overall to buy the collector’s item there.
