Import a Car to Japan with Crypto | Bitmalo

Japan really appreciates careful prep. The paperwork can be quite strict, inspections are super detailed, and timing is key—but the whole process can feel so smooth if all the steps are done right. With Bitmalo, you pick your ride and pay (crypto or bank); we sort out the inspection, purchase, export, ocean/air transport, customs, and all the post-arrival stuff right up to registration.

What “easy” looks like in Japan

Imagine this: your car reaches Yokohama or Kobe in a closed container, sails through customs with all the necessary documents, and goes for inspection right on its booked slot. You get updates on estimated arrival times, sorted out fee statements, and your final delivery schedule—without having to call terminals or guess at the 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) Pick & check
Browse Cars and drop us a message. We’ll confirm the build spec (VIN/variant), emissions data, and equipment. You’ll get a Japan-ready inspection brief—not just some photos.

2) Buy & export
Once you give the green light, you pay in crypto or via bank transfer. We'll buy the car as the official buyer, arrange export clearance, and book your preferred way (air or sea).

3) Arrival & customs
We'll coordinate Japan import entry and arrival charges through our forwarder. You'll get a pre-alert with the estimated arrival time (ETA) to your chosen port/airport and your delivery slot.

4) Inspection & handover
We'll slot your car into the post-arrival process (e.g., shaken/registration steps where needed) and deliver to your address or nominated facility.

What to Know Before You Import

Drive side & lighting
Japan is RHD. LHD vehicles can be imported but usually need extra attention for lighting and signalling. We'll include conformity notes in your report.

Inspection culture
Expect very thorough checks. We plan for headlamp pattern, fog lamp, speedometer units, and emissions evidence. If translations or test data are needed, we provide them upfront to avoid repeat visits.

Paperwork fit
A clear chain of title, export documents, bill of sale, and identity must match your VIN. We provide translations and certification if required so customs and registration offices get exactly what they're looking for.

Freight Choices, Simply Explained

• Air: Fast and predictable—perfect for high-value or time-sensitive cars.
• Sea (container/Ro-Ro): Most cost-effective overall; we'll compare transit times
