Japanese car imports

Our shipping agents have been advising our customers that they can actually drive the vehicles home from the docks.

I know our customers have been doing this without and trouble.

Please do give them a call to confirm it is legal.

Apparantly you are allowed to with the documents you get from the docks on the day.

I also know provided you have an MOT appointment booked you are allowed to drive your vehicle to the MOT station (perhaps a detour to your house too).

If you aren't on broadband then the site will seem a little slow at the moment as we haven't fully finished optimising the code yet. Promise it will be 10x faster within the next 48 hours tho!

Also you will be able to search by auction grade and year properly too!

Regarding the VAT and Import duty just ask to speak with Tony our export manager and say Terence sent you Wink

how much is shipping to ireland dublin CIF

Terence · Posted: Fri May 13, 2005 3:07 pm Post subject:

We do not ship CIF.

We ship on FOB basis.

Shipping is paid once vehicle arrives at the port.

Shipping cost for a small car will be around 400-450 GBP.

so no shipping insurance then Crying or Very sad

That can be purchased.

5,000 Yen (25 GBP) for your vehicle.

Protects against total loss.

For a vehicle such as yours there is not much to worry about.

It is the large vehicles with very low bodykits and lowered syspension that are a problem. The ramp that goes onto the vessel is quite steap and the kits on supra's and rx-7's are low.

In some cases we have had to take the front bumper and in extreme cases sideskirts off for customers. Bits can be loaded inside the vehicle to save it from being wreaked during shipment.
