Our Shipping Services
1. International Sea Shipping
We arrange vehicle shipping by sea from Japan to destinations around the world, subject to shipping route availability and destination requirements.
Depending on the destination and buyer’s preferences, available shipping methods may include:
- RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): Vehicles are driven onto and off specialized vessels designed for transporting vehicles.
- Container Shipping: Vehicles are transported inside shipping containers, subject to availability and shipping requirements.
The appropriate shipping method depends on the destination, vehicle type, availability, cost, and the buyer’s preferences.
2. Shipping According to Buyer Requirements
Every buyer has different needs. At HARUKA MOTORS CO LTD, we aim to coordinate shipping arrangements according to your requirements and the available options for your destination.
When requesting a shipping quotation, please provide your destination country, preferred port, and vehicle details. This helps us determine the appropriate shipping options and estimated costs.
3. Country-Specific Import Regulations
Every country has its own vehicle import policies, customs requirements, and regulations.
Import rules can vary significantly depending on the destination country. These may include:
- Vehicle age restrictions
- Vehicle eligibility and specifications
- Import duties and taxes
- Customs clearance procedures
- Required import permits and documentation
- Vehicle inspection and registration requirements

Buyers are responsible for ensuring that their selected vehicles comply with the import regulations of their destination country. We recommend checking with the relevant customs authority or a licensed customs broker before purchasing a vehicle.
Our team can discuss your destination requirements and coordinate export and shipping arrangements accordingly, subject to applicable regulations and service availability.
