Frequently
Asked Questions
How does the car auction process work in Japan?
In Japan, car auctions are one of the most popular ways to buy used cars. The process typically involves:
Membership: To participate in these auctions, buyers need to be registered with an auction house, which usually requires working with a broker or agency, as many auctions are not directly open to the public.
Auction Grading: Each car is inspected, and a detailed report is created, which includes grading for both the interior and exterior condition. These reports are critical for assessing the vehicle’s condition.
Bidding: Once registered, you can place bids online or through a proxy. The bidding happens very quickly, sometimes within a matter of seconds.
Winning a Bid: If you win a bid, you typically need to pay a deposit or full payment, depending on the auction house’s terms. The vehicle is then prepared for export.
Japanese car auctions are known for their transparency, with detailed vehicle histories and conditions provided beforehand. However, international buyers usually work through local brokers or online platforms to facilitate the process.
How long does it take to ship a car from Japan to the Netherlands?
The shipping time for a car from Japan to the Netherlands can vary based on several factors, such as shipping route, weather conditions, and the shipping company’s schedule. On average, it can take:
Sea Freight: Approximately 4 to 8 weeks.
Processing Time: This includes arranging the shipping, customs clearance, and handling at the destination port.
The total time might be slightly longer if there are additional delays in customs processing or port handling.
What are the costs involved in importing a car from Japan?
The costs of importing a car from Japan to the Netherlands include several components:
Auction Fees: If you buy through an auction, there will be fees for participating, which include commission, bidding, and inspection fees.
Shipping Costs: The price for sea freight varies based on the shipping company and whether you’re using RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) or container shipping. Expect shipping costs to range between €800 to €1,500 depending on the car’s size and shipping method.
Import Duties: Importing a car into the Netherlands is subject to several taxes, including:
VAT (Value Added Tax): Typically 21% of the car’s value plus shipping and insurance costs.
Customs Duty: Generally 10% of the car’s value, depending on the car’s type.
BPM (Belasting van Personenauto’s en Motorrijwielen): This is a vehicle tax based on CO2 emissions, which can significantly affect the cost.
Registration Fees: Once the car arrives, it needs to be registered, which involves inspection fees and administrative costs in the Netherlands.
Can I inspect the car before it’s shipped?
Yes, you can request a third-party inspection or rely on the auction house’s inspection reports before the car is shipped. Japanese car auctions typically provide detailed inspection sheets with accurate descriptions of the vehicle’s condition. Some buyers also opt for additional inspection services, where a local agent or company inspects the vehicle on your behalf.
However, physical inspections by international buyers are uncommon due to logistical challenges, so buyers often rely heavily on the reports provided by the auction houses. Many platforms and brokers offer translated reports to ensure transparency in the condition of the vehicle before purchase.
