When considering importing a car from Japan one of the most important aspects is shipping and the most cost-effective way with as minimal damage as possible.

RorRo shipping requires that the car be driven into the ship and tied down for the duration of its journey.

In our opinion, RoRo is the safest way to export your cars from Japan.

Occasionally damage will occur when using containerised shipping which mostly happens in the port of arrival. Containers are our least favorite form of shipping your car
