Importing a car from Japan to Ireland typically takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on several factors, such as shipping schedules, customs clearance, and any necessary paperwork. Here’s a general breakdown of the process:
Purchasing and Export Preparation (1-2 weeks): After buying the car, the exporter in Japan prepares the vehicle for shipment, which includes obtaining necessary documents like export certificates and deregistration certificates.
Shipping Time (4-8 weeks): Shipping the car from Japan to Ireland by sea usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the shipping route and schedules.
Customs Clearance and Registration (1-3 weeks): Once the car arrives in Ireland, it goes through customs and is inspected. Afterward, the car needs to be registered, which can take up to a few weeks.
The timeline may vary due to shipping delays, holidays, or specific customs requirements.
