Frequently asked questions
Is this a customs quote?
No. It is a budgeting ballpark using auction yen, freight and an illustrative duty/VAT-style adder. Actual valuation methods, agent fees and FX differ — confirm with a licensed broker.
Why verify the auction sheet before estimating cost?
A cheap auction yen price can hide R-grade repair history or rolled mileage. Condition risk often costs more than duty — verify grade and km first.
Next: verify the original auction sheet
Tools identify models and risks. The paid check pulls Japan’s real grade, mileage and damage map.
Verify auction sheetEstimates only. Actual duty, VAT, valuation method, agent fees and FX differ. Not a customs quote. Confirm with a licensed broker before you commit.
