Export Used Cars from Japan Worldwide
We ship to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Caribbean, New Zealand and beyond with Japan’s leading shipping companies.
Five markets, one dependable partner
Import rules — vehicle age, engine size, emissions and steering side — vary from country to country. Tell us your destination port before you buy.
Africa
Right-hand-drive Japanese vehicles are a natural fit for many East, Southern and West African markets. Popular choices include Toyota Hilux, Land Cruiser Prado, Probox, Vitz and Honda Fit.
Asia
From compact kei cars to hybrids and trucks, Japanese used vehicles are in demand across South and Southeast Asia. Tell us your country and we will advise on age and engine-size rules.
Middle East
Toyota Land Cruiser, Prado, Lexus SUVs and rugged pickups remain favourites across the Gulf and wider Middle East.
Caribbean
Fuel-efficient hybrids, compact hatchbacks and family minivans suit the islands. Right-hand-drive markets such as Jamaica, Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago frequently import from Japan.
New Zealand
New Zealand is one of the biggest markets for Japanese used cars. Right-hand-drive hatchbacks, hybrids like the Aqua and Prius, and SUVs such as the Harrier and Forester are in steady demand. We help with compliance paperwork and shipping to Auckland, Tauranga and other ports.

RoRo or container — your choice
RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) is the most economical way to ship standard vehicles. Container shipping offers extra protection for high-value vehicles and lets you consolidate cars or parts. Read our full comparison: RoRo vs container shipping.
Once your vehicle is loaded we share the vessel name, schedule and tracking number, and courier the original documents (DHL/FedEx) so you can clear customs on arrival.
Before you export a used car from Japan
To export used cars from Japan smoothly, check these points with your customs authority or clearing agent before choosing a vehicle:
- Maximum vehicle age: many countries limit imports to cars of a certain age.
- Engine size and emissions: some markets cap engine capacity or require specific emission standards.
- Steering side: Japanese domestic-market cars are right-hand drive; confirm your country allows them.
- Documents: Export Certificate, Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice and — where required — an Inspection Certificate.
- Duties and taxes: budget for import duty, port charges and registration in your country.
We provide shipping to a wide range of ports and can advise on suitable vehicles for your market. Read more in our guide to the best Japanese used cars for Africa, understand FOB, CIF and CNF pricing, and then send us your inquiry.
