Key facts

Cyprus

Left-hand traffic, so Japanese right-hand-drive cars fit well. Duty, VAT and a registration tax apply, and age limits on used imports must be checked.

Kazakhstan

Duty depends on the car's age and engine size; VAT and a recycling fee apply. Delivery combines sea shipping and overland transport.

Kyrgyzstan

Rules on duty, age and engine size apply; delivery is by sea and overland routes. Ask us for the current requirements.

Azerbaijan

Customs duty, taxes and registration rules apply; delivery routes depend on current logistics. Ask us for an estimate.

Other countries

Tell us where the car is going. If we can deliver there, we confirm the route, costs and timing before you bid.

Step by step

  1. Tell us the destination. Rules and costs depend on the country, so start by telling us where the car will be registered.
  2. Choose the car. We help you pick a car that fits the destination's rules on age, engine size and drive side.
  3. Buy and export. We buy the car at auction or from stock and handle the export paperwork in Japan.
  4. Shipping and delivery. The car is shipped by sea and, where needed, delivered onward by land; we confirm the route and timing for each car.
  5. Customs and registration. You pay the local duty and taxes and register the car; we tell you which documents you need.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver outside Europe?
Yes, we deliver to Dubai (UAE), Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and some neighbouring countries. Ask us whether we can deliver to yours.
How much duty will I pay?
It depends on the country, the car's age and its engine size. Ask us for an estimate for a specific car before you bid.
How long does delivery take?
Longer than to a port country if there is an overland part. We confirm the expected timing for each car and destination.
