​Expert Car Import Services from Japan to Ireland

Direct Car Imports from Japan

With Brexit's impact on sourcing cars from the UK, Irish car enthusiasts are turning their attention to the Japanese market. The appeal of pre-loved vehicles from Japan has surged, driven by their renowned reliability, affordability, and high-quality standards. Approximately one in three used imports registered this year in Ireland originate from Japan, reflecting the increasing demand for these dependable vehicles.


Japanese cars are known for maintaining their good condition due to the country's well-maintained road infrastructure. Green Routed Freight Ltd offers comprehensive services for importing cars from Japan. From customs clearance and offloading cars from containers to collecting them at the port and delivering to your doorstep, our experienced team ensures affordability and efficiency.

Importing a Vehicle from Japan

Our straightforward import process includes the following steps:

 

  • Ship to Ireland: Vehicles are often shipped to Dublin from Japan. You can also arrange your own shipping. Transport options include RORO ferries or containers, with RORO generally being the more cost-effective choice.

Customs Clearance: Clearing customs and collecting the car at the port is your responsibility as the importer. For smooth customs clearance, a customs declaration is essential. If you're not familiar with customs procedures, Green Routed Freight Ltd offers customs agent services to help with the declaration process.

Custom Declaration for a Vehicle Imported From Japan 

To submit a customs declaration for your Japanese-imported car, we require the following information:

 

  • Sales invoice / Commercial invoice (invoice for the car)

  • Shipping invoice (invoice for shipping and insurance, if applicable)

  • Bill of lading

  • International export log book - Export cert (English and Japanese version)

  • Proof of Payment

  • Your EORI or PPS number (forms to be filled)

 

Count on Green Routed Freight Ltd to simplify and streamline your Japanese car import experience.
