Hauling Methods

There are two different delivery options to choose from when dispatching your ride to Japan. The first delivery option is the container dispatching method. This type of hauling is more expensive but it does allow you to haul personal/household items over with your four-wheeler. The container secures your ride and all your belongings during transit.

The second shifting option to choose from is the roll-on/roll-off delivery method. This way of dispatching involves the vehicle being placed onto the deck of the haul where it is safely harnessed for freight transportation. You will only be able to leave floor mats, a spare tire, and your ride jack inside the vehicle during transit. This method of shipping is the cheapest way to send your ride over.

Transferring Procedures

Japanese regulations and requirements are different depending on whether you choose to import short-term or long-term. If you want to bring your vehicle over the short term, you will need to plan on staying less than one year and fill out a CPD form or Carnet de Passage en Douane. This is an ownership identification document that you will need to keep in your four-wheeler at all times. The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) requires that you bring this form with you when you register for your ride in the area. If you plan to stay in Sapporo for more than one year, you will need to file for permanent import and fill out the necessary paperwork. Documents you will need include:

• Proof of ownership.
• Bill of Lading.
• Vehicle Registration.
• Any other document that pertains to your ride ownership.

You will need to pay any customs duties once your ride arrives at the area port. Your four-wheeler will need to pass all emissions tests in order to gain clearance into the area. If you want more information on shipping to Japan, you can contact the Japanese Embassy.
