Import a Car to Japan with Crypto | Bitmalo

Japan values careful preparation. The paperwork is very precise, inspections are comprehensive, and timing is crucial—yet the entire process can feel effortless when the steps are managed effectively. With Bitmalo, you select the vehicle and pay (crypto or bank); we coordinate inspection, purchase, export, sea/air transport, customs, and all post-arrival steps right through to registration.

What “easy” looks like in Japan

Imagine this: your car arrives in Yokohama or Kobe in a closed container, passes through customs with a full set of documents, and proceeds to inspection at a pre-booked slot. You get ETA updates, cost breakdowns, and final delivery timing—without calling terminals or guessing 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 Guide (Japan)

1) Select & confirm
Browse Cars and message us. We confirm the build specifications (VIN/variant), emissions data, and equipment. You’ll receive a detailed inspection report for Japan—not just photos.

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

3) Arrival & customs
We coordinate the Japan import process and arrival charges through our shipping agent. You receive a pre-alert with the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) to the chosen port/airport and your delivery timeframe.

4) Inspection & handover
We manage your car through the post-arrival procedures (e.g., inspection/registration steps where applicable) and deliver to your address or designated 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 often need extra adjustments for lighting and signalling. We include compliance notes in your report.

Inspection expectations
Expect thorough checks. We account for headlamp pattern, fog lamp, speedometer units, and emissions evidence. Where translations or test data are needed, we provide them upfront to minimise repeat visits.

Documentation alignment
A clear ownership history, export documents, bill of sale, and identity must match your VIN. We provide translations and certification where required so customs and registration offices have all the necessary information.

Shipping Options, Simply Explained

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