Import a Car to Japan with Crypto | Bitmalo

Japan values meticulous preparation. The paperwork is precise, inspections are thorough, and timing is crucial—yet the entire process can feel seamless when the steps are coordinated properly. With Bitmalo, you select the vehicle and make payment (crypto or bank); we arrange inspection, purchase, export, ocean/air transport, customs, and post-arrival stages right through to registration.

What “easy” looks like in Japan

Imagine this: your car arrives in Yokohama or Kobe in a closed container, clears customs with a full set of documents, and proceeds to inspection at a scheduled slot. You receive ETA updates, fee reconciliations, and confirmed final delivery timing—without needing to contact terminals or speculate on individual charges.

• Typical gateways: Sea via Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya; air via NRT (Narita), HND (Haneda), KIX (Kansai).
• Settlement: Crypto USDT/BTC/ETH (others on request) or bank transfer (USD).
• Delivery: Across the nation after customs release (Kantō, Kansai, Chūbu, Kyūshū, Hokkaidō).

The Owner’s Playbook (Japan)

1) Choose & verify
Browse Cars and get in touch with us. We confirm the build specification (VIN/variant), emissions data, and equipment. You'll be provided with a Japan-ready inspection brief—not merely photos.

2) Purchase & export
Once you give your approval, you can pay using crypto or via bank transfer. We purchase the car as the buyer of record, arrange export clearance, and book your preferred mode of transport (air versus sea).

3) Arrival & customs
We coordinate Japan import entry and arrival charges through our freight forwarder. You will receive a pre-alert with the ETA to the selected port/airport and your delivery timeframe.

4) Inspection & handover
We integrate your car into the post-arrival process (e.g., shaken/registration procedures where applicable) and deliver it to your address or designated facility.

What to Know Before You Import

Drive side & lighting
Japan is RHD. Left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles can be imported but frequently require extra attention for lighting and signalling. We include conformity notes in your report.

Inspection culture
Expect meticulous checks. We make provisions for headlamp patterns, fog lamps, speedometer units, and emissions evidence. Where translations or test data are required, we provide them in advance to minimise repeat visits.

Paperwork fit
A clear chain of title, export documents, bill of sale, and identity verification matching your VIN are essential. We provide translations and certification where necessary, ensuring customs and registration offices receive precisely what they anticipate.
