Import a Car to Japan with Crypto | Bitmalo

Japan values careful preparation. The paperwork is quite precise, inspections are thorough, and timing is crucial—yet the entire process can feel effortless when the steps are managed correctly. With Bitmalo, you select the vehicle and make the payment (via crypto or bank transfer); we coordinate the inspection, purchase, export, sea/air transport, customs, and post-arrival procedures 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 complete document set, and proceeds to inspection at a scheduled slot. You receive ETA updates, fee breakdowns, and final delivery timing—without needing to call terminals or guess at 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: Nationwide after customs release (Kantō, Kansai, Chūbu, Kyūshū, Hokkaidō).

The Owner’s Playbook (Japan)

1) Select & verify
Browse Cars and send us a message. We confirm the build specifications (VIN/variant), emissions data, and equipment. You will receive a Japan-ready inspection brief—not just photos.

2) Purchase & export
Once you approve, 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 vs sea).

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

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 nominated facility.

What to Know Before You Import

Driving side & lighting
Japan is RHD (Right-Hand Drive). LHD (Left-Hand Drive) vehicles can be imported, but they often require additional attention regarding lighting and signaling. We include conformity notes in your report.

Inspection culture
Expect meticulous checks. We account 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.

Documentation Accuracy
A clean chain of title, export documents, bill of sale, and identity must match your VIN. We provide translations and certification where required, ensuring customs and registration offices receive exactly what they expect.
