If the vehicle is older than 25 years it can be imported without any restrictions.

Every car goes through several layers of checks including physical inspections while still in Japan. Additionally every car that we source from Japan comes with unique condition report produced by independent mechanical inspectors in Japan. These condition reports include all the accurate information on car’s mechanical condition as well as any body defects up to the finest details like minuscule scratches or untidiness of interior.
This is our favourite question here as it is a big missconception amongst many buyers and even some importers. Based on over a decade of experience in the Japanese car market we can confidently say that you should NOT be relying solely on grades, as well as that, they can be very decieving! This is because grades vary from auction to auction. Some auctions are stricter than others. A car at one auction can get a grade of 3.0 while at another auction the same car can be re-listed with a grade of 4.0 This is why we do not support the habit of judjing cars by grades as it can lead to a lot of unwanted surprises. So to sum it up, judjing cars by grades is often a big misconception and if someone tells you otherwise we would suggest to question their competence as there are many great cars with grades below 3 and many bad cars with grades above 3.5. Grades of dealers are also different from auction grades as dealer grades are “self-proclaimed” which means they may grade cars higher in order to sell it quicker.
Condition reports are extremely thorough and accurate on Japanese auctions, and unlike grades they SHOULD work as a guide to your decision on buying a certain car. The report denotes every single detail on the car, its mechanical condition, inspector’s notes, as well as provides you with a “car map” of every panel, showing all paint defects up to the smallest hairline scratch. Auction reports are done by independent mechanics and are very reliable. Dealers howhever often have their own self-proclaimed reports which means it is best to double check the car’s condition thorougly before calling the shots.

My recent experience with Fukasawa Car Imports has been nothing short of exceptional, and it’s only fair I share this with fellow car lovers.
Vlad’s expertise and genuine passion for cars shone through every interaction. His knowledge about cars is commendable, and his insights were invaluable in making my decision.
The highlight of my experience was, of course, getting my hands on the Supra Mk3. This car has been a dream for me, and Vlad played a pivotal role in making this dream a reality. He went above and beyond to ensure that the car was not just a fit for my desires but was in prime condition.
The entire process was smooth and enjoyable, thanks to Vlad’s professionalism and friendliness. It’s rare to find someone who not only understands your passion for cars but also contributes positively to fulfilling it.
In conclusion, Fukasawa Car Imports, with its impressive collection and outstanding customer service, especially from team members like Vlad, has earned my highest recommendation. If you’re in the market for a car, especially something as special as a Supra Mk3, this is the place to go.

Thank you Vlad, Artem and Julia for organising everything for the import of my 4WD Toyota Hiace Commuter that is not available here in Australia.

But thank you especially for your patience and positivity as i nagged, poked and prodded for frequent updates. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Vlad helped us find and get the van we wanted from Japanese auctions. His people in Japan took care of inspecting the vehicle. It all went great, the van is as expected or better and we’re very happy with it!

Bought three Toyota Hiaces from Fukasawa Imports, one for myself and one as an investment. The team helped me with every step, from purchase, inspection, to getting all the correct documentation for export and the vans arrived in only 3 months! Great team, pleasant people and a smooth enjoyable process. Should I also mention the vans came in PERFECT condition! For any Japanese imports they are my number one agent.
