Our Commitments to Every Buyer

The standards we hold ourselves to on every vehicle we sell.

Verified, Auction-Graded Vehicles

Every vehicle is purchased from established Japanese auction houses or vetted UK dealers. You receive the original auction sheet or condition report before you commit.

Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing

FOB, inspection and CIF are shown separately on every listing and every invoice, in USD, JPY, GBP or EUR. No hidden fees and no surprises at the port.

Secure Bank-Transfer Payments

We never take card payments online. You pay by bank transfer to official company accounts only, and every payment is acknowledged with a receipt in your dashboard.

Complete Export Documentation

Proforma Invoice, Commercial Invoice, Export Certificate, Bill of Lading and inspection certificates are issued in Japan and uploaded to your secure customer dashboard.

Reliable Worldwide Shipping

RoRo and container shipping to Dar es Salaam, Mombasa and other major ports, with onward transit to landlocked countries arranged on request.

Dedicated After-Sales Support

A real sales team in Tokyo and Dar es Salaam, reachable by phone, email and WhatsApp in seven languages, before and after your vehicle arrives.
