The buying guide

How to buy

Ordering from Japan is simpler than most people expect. Here is the complete process, our payment terms, and the documents you will receive.

01

Send an inquiry or quote request

Use the Get a Quote form, WhatsApp or email. Tell us the make and model (or the type of vehicle), year range, budget, and your destination country and port. Not sure what you need? Tell us how the vehicle will be used and we will recommend the best options for your budget.

02

Receive your quotation within 24 hours

We search auction listings and dealer stock across Japan and send you candidates with photos, the independent auction sheet, verified mileage and condition notes — priced FOB, C&F or CIF, as you prefer.

03

Confirm with a 30–50% advance

When you approve a vehicle, we issue a proforma invoice. A 30–50% advance by bank transfer (T/T) to our Japanese company account secures the vehicle and starts export procedures. The advance is stated clearly on your invoice — nothing more is due until delivery.

04

Inspection & shipping

If your country requires pre-export inspection (JEVIC, QISJ, JAAI), we arrange and pass it before shipment. We book the earliest RoRo vessel or container and send you the vessel name, ETD and ETA the moment it's confirmed.

05

Pay the balance after delivery

Once your vehicle arrives, you settle the remaining balance. We believe you should see your order reach you before you finish paying for it — that is how we've built trust with buyers on every continent.

06

Receive your documents

The original Bill of Lading, Japanese Export Certificate with English translation, commercial invoice and inspection certificate are sent by courier (DHL / EMS). With these you clear customs and register the vehicle.

Price terms

FOB — vehicle price plus every cost up to loading at a Japanese port. You arrange the shipping.
C&F — FOB plus ocean freight to your port. The most popular choice.
CIF — C&F plus marine insurance during the voyage.
Import duty, VAT and port charges in your country are never included in any term.

Payment safety

Only ever pay to the MH Trading Japan company bank account shown on your invoice.
We never ask for payment to personal accounts or through money-transfer agents.
In doubt? Confirm bank details by phone or WhatsApp before transferring: +81 70-9001-9197.

RoRo or container?

RoRo (roll-on / roll-off) — the vehicle is driven aboard a specialist car-carrier. Cheaper and more frequent for single running vehicles. Nothing may be shipped inside the car.
Container (20ft / 40ft) — for non-runners, machinery, spare parts, or 2–4 vehicles shipped together. Parts and accessories can be loaded with the vehicles and listed on the packing list.
