Can I import any car from Japan?
Cars built for the Japanese market can generally be imported once they are 25 years old, counted to the month they were built. Newer cars can only come in under narrow exceptions. See the import guide.
How long does an import take?
Usually several weeks from purchase to your door, depending on export paperwork, sailing schedules, the destination port and customs. We give you a realistic window and keep you updated.
Can I see a car before I buy it?
Yes, for cars in our U.S. inventory. For auction and overseas cars, we send photos, the translated auction sheet or the seller's details, and an inspection where available.
Are auction cars sold as-is?
Yes. Auction cars are sold as-is. That is why we translate the auction sheet and explain the grade and any damage notes before you bid.
Do you ship outside the USA?
Yes. We export cars from the USA to Japan and other countries, and can ship cars from Japan to other destinations through CSM Japan.
Who handles customs?
Our sister company Your Customs Brokers files the ISF and customs entry, and Your Transport Brokers can truck the car to your door.
How do I pay?
We invoice you for each stage. The car's price is due before we buy it, and shipping and import charges before the car is released. Our Terms of Sale apply.
Can you ship parts with my car?
Often, yes. Our sister company Part Shop Midori sources JDM parts and aero, and they can ride in the same container when there is room.
