Your security

  1. On average, you only pay 60% of the listed price , and the rest only upon arrival of the vehicle in Germany. This means we share the risk with you.
  2. Payment will be made to our official company account within the EU . If you or your bank prefer, direct payment to Japan is also possible.
  3. After payment confirmation, booking, and shipping , you will receive all documents, including the original B/L (a legally binding bill of lading issued when a vehicle is shipped by ship. It confirms that the vehicle has actually been loaded on board the ship and that you are the owner).
  4. The so-called B/L is issued in your name – without this document, no one else can pick up the vehicle at the port.
  5. Additionally, you will receive: Export certificate, purchase invoice, copy of vehicle deregistration in Japan, original customs forms
