What makes up the export cost?
A useful quote separates Japan-side charges from costs payable after arrival. Exact amounts depend on the vehicle, port and shipping method.

Service fee
The sourcing and transaction services agreed in writing.
Transport within Japan
Collection and delivery to the departure port, when required.

Any agreed inspection, cleaning, deregistration and export documents.
Ocean freight and insurance
RoRo or container freight; marine cover is quoted separately if requested.
Destination charges
Import duty, taxes, port fees, inspection and registration may be payable locally.
We identify known inclusions and exclusions in the written estimate. Exchange rates and third-party charges can change.
Typical documents
The exact document set depends on the vehicle and destination.
- Commercial invoice or purchase record
- Japan export deregistration evidence, where applicable
- Bill of lading or carrier shipping document
- Auction sheet, if the vehicle was purchased at auction and the sheet is available
Check destination-specific document and translation requirements before purchasing.
Who handles what?
ClickCar in Japan
