What we do
End-to-end support, auction to road.
From picking the right car to getting it registered, we guide you through every step of importing from Japan.
Vehicle selection & quotations
We start from the make, model, grade, year, mileage and budget you want, check yellow book and average auction prices, and give you a high-level quotation, followed by a detailed quotation once you are ready.
Auction & JAAI document checks
We make sure your vehicle comes with its export certificate and JAAI certificates (pre-shipment inspection, vehicle condition and odometer), all of which you need for registration.
LC, payment & shipping coordination
We guide you through placing the letter of credit (LC) with your bank, insurance, and tracking the shipped and landing dates, and we make sure the vehicle document set is requested before the vehicle lands.
Temporary VAT & customs clearance
We walk you through temporary VAT (using the invoice, bill of lading, LC and your TIN), the clearing agent, the tax assessment and payment, and clearing and port charges, until the vehicle is collected from Hambantota.
RMV registration support
We help you put together your RMV registration documents and arrange insurance, the green test and the revenue licence, through to receiving the vehicle book.
