What is the same in every state
The 25-year rule. Vehicles at least 25 years old are exempt from federal FMVSS and EPA conformity requirements, which is what makes right-hand-drive Japanese cars and kei trucks importable. Every vehicle we source clears that threshold.
The paperwork we hand you. Japanese export certificate with certified English translation, bill of lading, commercial invoice and the customs entry — the package your state titling office needs.
Per-vehicle shipping quotes. Freight depends on the vehicle, the sailing and your delivery address, so we quote it per car instead of hiding an average in the price. Nothing is charged before you approve the total.
Registration is confirmed before you buy. State rules — especially for kei trucks — change. We verify current requirements with your titling authority before you commit, rather than promising something that may not hold in your state.
