Frequently asked questions
What does FOB, C&F and CIF mean?
FOB is the price of the car delivered to the ship in Japan. C&F adds ocean freight to your port. CIF adds marine insurance on top of C&F.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer (TT) to our company account in Japan, using the proforma invoice we send. Please send us a copy of the remittance slip.
RoRo or container?
RoRo is usually cheaper for single cars. Containers are better for several cars, parts, or destinations RoRo doesn't serve. We'll quote both where possible.
When do I get the documents?
After the car ships we send the original Bill of Lading, export certificate and invoice by courier (DHL / FedEx) and give you the tracking number.
Can you find a car that isn't in your stock?
Yes. Tell us the model, year, mileage and budget — we buy at Japanese auctions every day.
