  1. Always good to get a JEVIC done, they actually bench test the odometer and forensically inspect the speedo then cross check all year or production numbers etc. They then double check with Japanese Dept of Transport history & kilometre reports. www.jevic.com we use them on all our imports and they have found in the past 12 months 4 vehicles with altered odometers which we do not import but RTV to Auction. Always good to only buy from a licenced dealer who commits to showing you the reports, auction cert, export certificates etc. If the importer or broker cant show you these walk away. Attached are some examples. 170126_S500P-0051700.pdf
  2. Warning when getting quotes to import your vehicle from Brokers, Backyard Workshops and Importers, Ask if they can do the compliance, do they provide an odometer check, supply warranty on the vehicle, roadworthy the car, make sure the vehicle isn't rusty, have all the factory recalls been done, and what happens if it gets here and there is another recall who fixes that? IS the car reconditioned to Australian standards? I have been looking at what the Australian Import brokers, Backyard Importers and some others list as a cost to import a vehicle and they are not correct in the calculations. They are misleading to say the least. when they talk pricing on their websites they forget about agent fees and Japanese deregistration, port fees Japan and local transport in Japan. They all have to use local dealers in Japan to buy vehicles and the dealers in Japan all charge what is called a buyers fee see guide here http://smilejv.com/fee_structure.php this site reflects accurately what fees are on top of the buy price from Auction. The BROKERS here in Australia mislead people and call it FOB, the price is clearly the fall of hammer price plus the following: 1.buyers fee, 2.plus transport to dock, 3. Japanese Government Custom fees, 4.Japanese Custom Brokers export fees, and to make sure your car is right you should always insist on a JEVIC www.jevic.com The Brokers like to tell everyone the average or last sale price but for some reason exclude all these other charges in the fees. Then the vehicle has to come to Australia, shipping is paid in US Dollars and on arrival Australian Border Protection and AQIS then have a go at adding some more cost. They work on GST and Import Duty conversion from YEN to AUD on the day rate of arrival which could be more or less than your original purchase value. Australian port fees, GST, Duty are as follows: CUSTOMS ENTRY CHARGE 2062.45 R (The GST and and import duty to be paid on shipping, vehicle, Japanese fees, and all invoiced amounts to ship to Australia) FREIGHT 1135.35 F (for the cost of a Cube ex Japan, larger cars ad more cost) FREIGHT EX WORKS JAPAN 170.58 F (Local freight Japan) PORT CHARGES 146.02 G (Australian port fee) SEA CARGO AUTOMATION 45.00 G (shipping company fees) DELIVERY ORDER FEE 65.00 G (Customs agent fee) QUARANTINE FEES 140.00 F (AQIS government fee) QUARANTINE ATTENDANCE 83.50 G (AQIS inspection) AGENCY ATTENDANCE 125.00 G (Custom clearance agent) CARTAGE 95.00 G (transport off dock in australia) Total cost for importation for a 2011 Nissan Cube $4123.85 plus purchase price of Cube $11304 = $15427.85 before its even complied, reconditioned, registered. DON'T LET BROKERS CON YOU, there are more fees again on top of this check with the people who actually comply vehicles, and who have vehicles for Sale in Australia. BROKERS, BACKYARD WORKSHOPS and some DEALERS, JUST DON'T GIVE YOU ALL THE FACTS. http://smilejv.com/auc_howitworks.php I have attached import calculator to this post with all the cost, excludes registration, stamp duty, workshop repairs. It only covers the importation of the vehicle and ADR compliance, NAV changeover if applicable, Tyres. All imports need to have NEW Tyres that carry a E Mark. Don't fall for the old they are ok, they are not legal in Australia. Also all Imports no matter which state they are complied in MUST HAVE A CURRENT ROADWORTHY completed by the RAWS workshop doing the compliance and supplied to the buyer. This will make sure the vehicle meets both FEDERAL and STATE of registration standards. Want to know more email me at [email protected] USE the calculator below and I have attached an invoice for the above example. IMPORT Calculator JAP USA March17.xlsx Invoice for shipping.pdf
