Importing Your Car to Japan Using Crypto | Bitmalo

Japan values proper planning. The paperwork is very detailed, inspections are thorough, and timing is key—yet the whole process can feel super easy when everything is well-coordinated. With Bitmalo, you just pick your car and pay (with crypto or bank transfer); we then handle the inspection, purchase, export, sea/air transport, customs, and all steps after arrival up to registration.

How "Easy" Looks in Japan

Imagine this: your car gets to Yokohama or Kobe inside a sealed container, clears customs with all its documents in order, and proceeds for inspection at a scheduled time. You'll receive updates on estimated arrival, fee breakdowns, and final delivery schedule—without you having to call terminals or guess 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: Nationwide after customs release (Kantō, Kansai, Chūbu, Kyūshū, Hokkaidō).

Your Guide to Importing (Japan)

1) Choose & verify
Check out Cars and send us a message. We'll confirm the build details (VIN/variant), emissions info, and equipment. You'll get a Japan-ready inspection report—not just ordinary photos.

2) Purchase & export
After you approve, you pay with crypto or by bank transfer. We purchase the car as the official buyer, sort out export clearance, and book your preferred shipping method (air or sea).

3) Arrival & customs
We coordinate Japan import entry and arrival charges via our forwarder. You'll receive a pre-alert with the estimated arrival time at the selected port/airport and your delivery slot.

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

Things to Know Before You Import

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

Inspection culture
Expect very detailed checks. We prepare for headlamp pattern, fog lamp, speedometer units, and emissions proof. If translations or test data are required, we provide them beforehand to avoid repeated visits.

Paperwork fit
Proper chain of title, export documents, bill of sale, and identity must match your VIN. We provide translations and certification where needed so customs and registration offices get exactly what they expect.

Shipping Options, Simply Explained

• Air: Fast and predictable—ideal for high-value or time-sensitive cars.
• Sea (container/Ro-Ro): Best overall economics; we’ll compare transit times
