There are three payments required…
First Payment
The first payment (Auction Bid Deposit) this is made at the time of appointment of Jap Auto Agent Ltd. The Deposit demonstrates your intention to complete the purchase. The deposit is fully refundable if we can’t supply the vehicle you require.
Once we have secured your vehicle the deposit becomes committed to the purchase. Our commission is then take from the deposit. If there is a balance after we have taken our commission it will be refunded to the customer.
Second Payment
This is for the (F.O.B. Price) which means (Free on Board). It’s the total cost of the car loaded onto the ship in the Japanese port. Once a vehicle is secured you will receive an invoice for the FOB price. As a guide the F.O.B. Price is just over 50% of the (O.T.R) on the UK road price.
The F.O.B price is made up of 1 / Auction Car Cost 2 / The Japanese Export Company Fees. The Export Company Fees start at Yen 149,460 = £750.00 this is to pay for.
- Buyers commission for attending the auction, inspection, taking photos, and submitting bids.
- De–Registration of the vehicle in Japan and application for an Export Certificate.
- Inland vehicle transport to the Japanese port.
- Bonded yard storage and port handling fees in Japan.
- Japanese export taxes.
- Photos taken at the port and the production of a You Tube Video Demo in the bonded yard
Why do we have to pay the F.O.B. in Japanese Yen?
We assist you to buy a vehicle direct from the auction in Japan in your own name. So the vehicle will be invoiced direct to you in Japanese Yen.
Optional, you may use your own high street Bank if you wish, or we can help you get a better rate of exchange than is normally offered by the UK high street Banks.
Third Payment
This payment is made on arrival of the ship at the UK port. This payment is made in GBP direct to the Customs Clearance Agent here in the UK. When the ship arrives at the UK port the Customs Agent will send you an invoice by Email.
This is to pay for 1/ Shipping Charges, 2/ HMRC Duty 10%, 3/ V.A.T. 20%, 4/ Customs Agents Fee. You make one payment to the Customs Clearance Agent and they will make all payments on your behalf.
Once the vehicle has cleared customs it can be collected direct from the UK bonded yard.
First and foremost, a big thank you to Paul for the time and reassurance in helping me with making such a big financial commitment to personally import direct from Japan my Mitsubishi Delica D5. After looking for the ‘right Delica D5’ for two years in the UK and only coming close once but at an exorbitant price, my wife gave me an ultimatum, import or get out!!
This is the second car I have imported through Paul direct from Japan, the first was a Nissan Stagier 2.5i Turbo Estate and again now with this Nissan Elgrand both of these cars turned out to be excellent with a large amount of details and photos Paul and his colleague in Japan provided it removes any doubt you may have about the import process, If your considering buying a Japanese imported car then I would recommend using the service provided by Paul at Japautoagent Ltd
I would like to say thanks to Japautoagent for finding us a great car. We purchased a 2002 Elgrand X grade in 4.5 codition and i have to say it has exceeded our expectations. For an 11 year old car with 45k miles it is incredibly clean. Before the number plates went on the car everyone who saw it thought i had imported a brand new motor!
Paul has sourced a VW Golf Estate and now an Audi A1 Sportsback, both petrol autos, from Japan for me. I found Paul to be knowledgable and diligent throughout the buying process from understanding my requirements, finding and sending details of suitable cars for consideration and then instructing bidding on the target car.
Well done again Japautoagent Ltd” This is the second Nissan Elgrand Highway Star I have bought through Paul. This time I got a Grade 4.5 and just as with my previous Elgrand Highway Star it’s in superb condition with very low mileage, worth every penny.
The spec I demanded would have sent most importers running in horror but Paul just got on with finding it! and find it he did …. down to the very last item – EXACTLY my car, the right colour, interior, mileage, age right down to the right aftermarket extras with service history and in a condition you can only dream of. So if you looking for a import agent you can talk to and get a “feeling” for what you want over and above any description you can put in writing, or if you are totally new to importing cars from Japan and need honest help, Then look no further.
Telephone 01625 560505 or 07989 560505 & ask for Paul.
