Private Import From Japan

[7 samurai]

Hi all, I am in Japan and considering to import a skyline crossover. I will be in Japan for 12 months from now on thus I should be qualified for the length as well as my residency, as I am a permanent resident. However I am not familiar with all associated cost, such as shipping, custom duty and GST, and compliance fee.

I very much appreciate if anyone can help me to understand the above.

Thank you,

Not sure how much it would cost but I know mighty car mods did a YouTube vid on bringing in a half cut and did mention a company that they used

Ive done it twice! They have all the info on the Dotars website. They have also made it much harder. You would need to return with the car back to Aus.

Costs are similar to cars brought in through SEVS except compliance can be completed by anyone and an engineer would need to sign off on it.

An acquaintance was having his NSX serviced at Hannys Performance and it was a personal import from HK.

A new buyer was to pick it up in 2 days.

The acquaintance made a motza.

I'm in a similar situation (living in Japan considering a personal import) but am considering a European car, which I've been told is more profitable in selling down the track, though I'd be keen to hear why you've chosen a Skyline. Are you planning on buying at an auction or at a car yard?
