How to buy Japanesed usedcar<\/a><\/div>\n

Depending on the importing country, there are countries that require inspection such as JAAI, JEVIC, EAA, BUREAU, and VERITAS before being imported from Japan.
\nVehicles cannot be imported without inspection certificates in the countries requiring the above inspections, and our company has undergone the inspections required by the importing countries in advance.
\nPlease refer to the table below to confirm the inspection required by the importing country and prepare for the import clearance by preparing the certificate of “pre-export inspection” sent from the exporter.
\nHowever, some customers are exceptionally importing without undergoing a pre-import inspection.
\nThe type of inspection and whether the inspection is mandatory or not are subject to change at any time. Please refer to this and consult with our professional sales staff at carused.jp!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

EAA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is a necessary inspection when importing used cars in Tanzania and Uganda.<\/p>\n

Before being exported from Japan, it will be ready for import if it passes the EAA inspection.<\/p>\n

It is assumed that used vehicles imported in Africa are expected to be used on unpaved roads with stones and rocks, unlike Japan. We need to have an inspection to make sure it’s a viable vehicle.<\/p>\n

If a failed vehicle or an uninspected vehicle is accidentally exported from Japan, it will not be able to be imported locally, so you must always import the vehicle that has passed the inspection.<\/p>\n

Tanzania requires JAAI and in Uganda, it is JEVIC, but EAA is approved by the governments of both countries, and import conditions can be satisfied instead of JAAI, JEVIC.<\/p>\n

INTERTEK<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is a mandatory inspection before importing a used car in Mozambique.<\/p>\n

All used cars imported to Mozambique undergo INTERTEK inspection before shipping.<\/p>\n

If a car arrives without an inspection, it needs to be inspected in Mozambique, and in addition to the inspection cost, you will be charged a penalty charge, so it is necessary to confirm that the car is inspected before importing.<\/p>\n

JEVIC<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When importing used cars in Uganda and Zambia, they must pass the inspections stipulated by the government agencies of each country.<\/p>\n

In addition to the inspection content, there are requirements for the vehicle.<\/p>\n
