Import a Car to Japan with Crypto | Bitmalo

In Japan, careful preparation pays off. The paperwork is quite detailed, inspections are thorough, and timing is crucial—yet the whole process can feel seamless when everything is arranged correctly. With Bitmalo, you pick the vehicle and pay (crypto or bank); we handle the inspection, purchase, export, sea/air transport, customs, and all post-arrival steps right up to registration.

What 'easy' means in Japan

Imagine this: your car arrives in Yokohama or Kobe in a closed container, clears customs with all the necessary documents, and proceeds for inspection at a scheduled slot. You get updates on estimated time of arrival (ETA), fee breakdowns, and the final delivery schedule—without having to call terminals or guess about individual charges.

• Common entry points: Sea via Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya; air via NRT (Narita), HND (Haneda), KIX (Kansai).
• Payment options: Crypto USDT/BTC/ETH (others upon request) or bank transfer (USD).
• Delivery: Across the country after customs clearance (Kantō, Kansai, Chūbu, Kyūshū, Hokkaidō).

The Owner’s Playbook (Japan)

1) Select & confirm
Browse Cars and get in touch with us. We confirm the build specifications (VIN/variant), emissions data, and equipment. You'll receive a Japan-ready inspection brief—not just pictures.

2) Buy & export
Once approved, you make payment in 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 vs. sea).

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

4) Inspection & delivery
We integrate your car into the post-arrival process (e.g., shaken/registration steps where applicable) and deliver to your specified address or nominated facility.

Things to Know Before You Import

Driving side & lighting
Japan uses RHD (Right-Hand Drive). Left-Hand Drive (LHD) vehicles can be imported but often need extra attention for lighting and signaling. We include compliance notes in your report.

The inspection process
Expect very thorough checks. We make arrangements for headlamp patterns, fog lamps, speedometer units, and emissions evidence. Where translations or test data are required, we provide them upfront to avoid repeat visits.

Document requirements
A clear chain of title, export documents, bill of sale, and identity must match your VIN. We provide translations and certification where necessary so customs and registration offices get exactly what they expect.
