日本車輸出 — JAPAN TO USA
Rare, vintage and enthusiast cars sourced straight out of Japanese auction houses, inspected before you commit a dollar, and delivered to your driveway in the United States.
The Hunt
Four stages between a request and a set of keys. Nobody wires money before seeing a translated auction sheet and a full landed-cost breakdown.
Chassis code, trim, colour, gearbox, budget, how original you want it. "R34 GT-R V-spec, Bayside Blue, unmodified" is a far better brief than "a Skyline" — and it cuts weeks off the search.
Our Nagoya desk watches USS, TAA, JAA and HAA for your car. When one appears we pull the inspection sheet, translate every annotation, and order extra photos of whatever the sheet flags.
Translated sheet, photos, our honest read on the car, and a landed cost to your city. If you like it you set a maximum bid. If you don't, we keep hunting — you've paid nothing.
Auction purchase, de-registration, export certificate, ocean freight, U.S. customs entry and the drive off the port. You get a tracking page and a named person who answers the phone.
On the block
Held by our Japanese partners or flagged in upcoming lanes. Every one is claimable — request it and we bid on your behalf.

Why Japan
It isn't nostalgia. The Japanese market preserves cars better and documents them in a way the U.S. used market never has.
Most of Japan doesn't salt its roads, and shaken inspections punish neglect. A 1994 Supra out of Osaka routinely has cleaner floors and sills than a Californian one.
Every auction car is inspected by a third party and scored 1 to 6 with a lettered damage map. It isn't seller marketing — it's an independent report, and we translate all of it.
V-spec, Type R, Spirit R, Tommi Mäkinen, 22B. Hundreds of factory variants were built for Japan only, and the honest way to get one is to buy it there.
Around 130,000 cars cross Japanese auction blocks every week. You're buying at wholesale against a live market, not against one dealer's asking price.
Export certificates, service books and de-registration records usually travel with the car. That history is what you need to title, insure and eventually resell it.
Cars become federally importable on a known date. We build watchlists years ahead so you're bidding the month a chassis opens, not two years into the price spike.
Eligibility
U.S. federal rules exempt vehicles 25 years or older from FMVSS compliance, counted from the month of manufacture. Check any chassis before you fall in love with it.
Delivered
Marcus wanted a V-spec in Bayside Blue, unmodified, under 70,000 km. It took six weeks and four missed lanes before the right car ran at USS Nagoya. Grade 4, one repainted quarter disclosed on the sheet, everything else original.
I'd been quoted a flat "about ninety grand" by two other importers. JDM Hunt sent me a spreadsheet with the duty line, the broker line and their own fee on it before I paid anything. That's the only reason I went ahead.
