At Kaori International, transparency matters. Explore our FAQ to understand how we source, inspect, and ship quality Japanese vehicles worldwide.
Buying & Ordering
We export a wide range of vehicles from Japan, including passenger cars, SUVs, vans, trucks, buses, and special-purpose vehicles. Both used and brand-new vehicles are available depending on your requirements.
Import requirements vary by country. Some countries allow individuals to import vehicles directly, while others require an import license or a registered clearing agent. We recommend checking your local customs regulations before purchase. Our team can guide you on country-specific requirements.
Payment & Security
We primarily accept payments through international bank transfer (TT). Full payment must be made before shipping. For selected regions, we may also accept trusted third-party escrow services.
The total cost includes the vehicle price, inspection (if requested), shipping charges, and import duties/taxes in your country. We provide a Proforma Invoice before payment so you clearly understand the breakdown.
