How Importing a Japanese Car to Bangladesh Really Works

Step-by-step breakdown of how your car travels from the Japanese auction lane in Tokyo, Yokohama, or Nagoya to your driveway in Dhaka—with zero hidden surprises.

1
Phase 1: Discovery

Car Selection & Free Japanese Auction Access

Create an account on MotoSolution to browse live daily inventories from USS, TAA, CAA, and HAA. Filter by grade (4.5 or 5), mileage under 30,000km, color, and options. Our automotive advisors assist in matching your preferences against historical auction hammer trends.

2
Phase 2: Due Diligence

Authentic Auction Sheet Translation & Inspection

We obtain and translate the official Japanese auction inspector sheet. Every Japanese inspector note—panel scratches (A1/A2), minor dents (U1/U2), pin dimples, tire tread depths, and interior aroma/wear—is completely verified before authorizing any bid.

3
Phase 3: Financial Authorization

Maximum Bid Limit & Security Token Deposit

You authorize a maximum bidding ceiling in Japanese Yen (JPY). A refundable security token deposit (typically ৳2 to ৳5 Lac depending on vehicle category) is placed in our escrow account. If we don't win the auction at or below your limit, your deposit is 100% refunded or rolled over to the next lot.

4
Phase 4: Live Auction Floor

Floor Bidding & Winning Announcement

On auction morning, our licensed floor bidder in Japan bids in real time. The moment the auction hammer strikes, you receive instant SMS and dashboard notification with the exact winning hammer price and the official auction invoice.

5
Phase 5: Pre-Export Compliances

JAAI / JEVIC Inspection & Port Terminal Yard Storage

The vehicle is transported via inland car carrier to Yokohama or Nagoya port yard. Mandatory Japan Auto Appraisal Institute (JAAI) radiation, structural, and certified digital odometer verifications are conducted to comply with Bangladesh Commerce Ministry import policy.

6
Phase 6: Ocean Voyage

Specialized RoRo Marine Shipping to Chittagong Port

Vehicles are loaded into the enclosed decks of Roll-on/Roll-off pure car carriers (NYK/MOL/Kline). A Marine Insurance policy covers 110% of CIF value. You receive the original Bill of Lading (B/L) tracking number to follow the vessel's journey across the Indian Ocean.

7
Phase 7: Chittagong Customs

NBR Customs Assessment, Duty Clearance & Port Release

Upon vessel berthing at Chittagong Port, our licensed in-house C&F clearing agent files the Bill of Entry. The NBR customs appraiser conducts physical inspection and computes official duties (CD, RD, SD, VAT, AIT, AT) based on the government tariff yellow book and engine CC bracket.

8
Phase 8: VIP Handover

Secure Dhaka Trailer Transit, Detailing & Showroom Delivery

The vehicle is transported from Chittagong port to Dhaka via dedicated hydraulic car carrier (never driven on rough highways). At our Niketan showroom, it receives a 120-point mechanical check, fluid change, 3-stage Meguiar's detailing, and official BRTA digital smart card registration.
