Your Questions Answered

Questions our clients often ask

How to check if the car can be imported to Australia?

Not every car can be imported into Australia.

To import a car into Australia it needs to be over 25 years old or listed on the Specialist Enthusiast Vehicles list. You can check if your car can be imported here .

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

If you cannot find your car on the list – don’t worry, contact us and we may still be able to import it. Please get in touch with us for more information.

Can I import a car from Japan within specified budget?

Yes. We work within you budget in finding a perfect match within your request, and with us you will know all the costs for the car landed and complied in Australia upfront before you bid on any car!

How long does it take to import a car from Japan?

On average the whole process takes around 5-16 weeks depending on the car’s availability, ship availability, port clearance and compliance workshops certification times. Our team always works around the clock to ensure that you get your car delivered as quickly as possible!

Do I need to pay the whole amount before I see the car?

You don’t have to pay everything upfront! We offer a convenient stage by stage payment where you don’t have to worry about paying the whole sum upfront, we will only request payments when the fees are due and you will have an official invoice for each stage.

Can I get finance for imported car?

Yes! We offer in-house finance and have teamed up with best finance brokers to provide you with most convenient financing options. With us you can get finance for the car even before it arrives to Australia.

How do I verify the car’s condition?

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.

Are auction grades important?

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.

How accurate are the Japanese car condition reports?

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.

Do you do compliance and engineering at your workshop?

We do not do compliance ourselves, but we organise it for you, by working with Australia’s most trusted compliance workshops. Partnering with some of the best workshops allows us to access and provide better prices for our clients, so you can rest assured that your are in good hands.

How long does compliance take?

Compliance timeframes can range anywhere from 1 week to 1.5 months. This is to do with the government organisation, called Department of Transport and Infrastructure. Due to the nature of government organisations they often have delays in processing compliance applications, and providing paperwork on time. That said, we ensure that all the documents are lodged as quickly as possible to allow for the fastest compliance turnover times.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a genuinely great experience with Fukasawa Car Imports and would highly recommend them to anyone considering importing a car from Japan. I dealt with Vlad to import my 2024 Toyota Crown RS Advanced Hybrid, and the whole process took around 4 months. The car arrived in absolutely perfect condition, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with it. A very special thank you to Vlad for his professionalism, responsibility, patience, and support throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, he helped me choose exactly the car I was looking for and guided me through every single step of the import process. Communication was always clear and transparent. Vlad stayed in touch regardless of the time difference, responded incredibly quickly whenever I had a question, and always took the time to explain every detail, including what was happening at each stage and what to expect next. I never felt like I was left wondering about the status of my car or the process. What I appreciated even more was that his support didn’t simply end once the car arrived in Australia. Vlad arranged for his trusted mechanic in Sydney to help me inspect the vehicle and make sure everything was in perfect condition. He also assisted me with organising the Blue Slip and guided me through the final steps of getting the car ready for the road. Importing a car from another country can initially seem complicated, especially when you have never done it before, but Vlad made the entire experience feel straightforward, smooth, and well organised. I always felt that everything was being handled responsibly and professionally, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process. I’m extremely grateful to Vlad and Fukasawa Car Imports for making it possible for me to get exactly the Toyota Crown I wanted. Thank you for your honesty, reliability, excellent communication, and genuine care throughout the whole journey. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you, and I would confidently recommend Fukasawa Car Imports to anyone looking to import a vehicle from Japan. Thank you again, Vlad! I absolutely love my Crown and couldn’t be happier with the result. ❤️

He was easy going, advised of his concerns on various vehicles and conditions of sales based on his experience. He was amenable to changes I required and overall, I recommend Vlad at Fukasawa Imports.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Vlad and the team at Fukasawa Car Imports more. From finding the specific car to purchasing and importing the vehicle they made it effortless for me. They are the utmost professionals and the continued support post delivery shows how passionate and committed to their clients they are. Will definitely use them again in the future for another vehicle when the time comes and highly recommend if you're looking for a JDM car imported, Vlad and the team at Fukasawa are the way to go.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vlad was extremely professional to deal with, although I did not use his services in completion the fee is very worth while. Especially if you are chasing an import. He would send me auctions daily and keep me in the loop with pricing and what I was looking for. Thanks Vlad!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience getting my Suzuki Cappuccino imported through these guys. The whole process was smooth, communication was clear the entire time, and everything arrived exactly as described. You can tell they know what they’re doing and actually care about the cars they bring in. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to import a JDM car 👍

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was a pleasure dealing with Vlad to import my S2000. We found a suitable auction listing within about a week and a bid was placed for me, super easy process. It took about 3 months to arrive and upon reciving the car it was in amazing condition. Had a small hiccup with the RAV entry approval but Vlad and Artem were able to sort it out. Overall great experience with Fukasawa imports.
