PRECISION SOURCING.
GLOBAL MARITIME EXPORT.

As an accredited member of the Japanese motor vehicle export community, Mahala Export maintains direct bidding credentials at all primary auction networks across Japan. This includes:

• USS Group: Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Sapporo, and Kyushu halls.
• TAA (Toyota Auto Auction): High-grade certified dealer trade-ins.
• CAA, JU, ARAI, & Honda Auto Auctions: Over 150,000 fresh vehicles auctioned every single week.

Clients can also monitor live auction catalogs directly through our auction terminal.

Every vehicle undergoes a thorough two-stage inspection:

Stage 1 (Pre-Bid): Our bilingual Japanese vehicle specialists examine the official auction sheet, translating the inspector's handwritten Japanese comments regarding mechanical condition, exterior scratches/dents (A1–A3, U1–U3), rust levels, and auction grade (Grade 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, S, or R).

Stage 2 (Post-Win Yard Audit): Once won, the vehicle is transported to our Saitama yard where our technicians execute a 150-point physical audit including digital paint-depth meter scans, undercarriage inspection, fluid quality checks, and OBD-II scanner diagnostics. High-resolution photos and videos are provided to you before vessel loading.

We process transactions through established corporate banking and verified international payment avenues:

• Bank Wire Transfer (Telegraphic Transfer / TT): Official corporate bank wire transfers in Japanese Yen (JPY) or US Dollars (USD) directly to our registered business bank account in Japan.
• USDT / Digital Currency: For verified overseas buyers who prefer fast settlement without international banking delays, we accept secure USDT payments.

All payments receive an official stamped Commercial Proforma Invoice and receipt.

Roll-on / Roll-off (Ro-Ro): The most cost-effective and common method for shipping drivable passenger vehicles. Cars are driven directly into specialized maritime vehicle carrier decks and firmly secured.

Container Shipping (20ft or 40ft): Vehicles are strapped and chocked inside sealed ocean containers. This method is recommended for high-value exotic supercars, classic collector vehicles, non-drivable units, or shipments containing extra wheels and spare parts.

We manage all mandatory Japanese Ministry (MLIT) de-registration procedures and provide an airtight documentation package via express courier:

• Original Japanese Export Certificate (Yushutsu Massho)
• Certified English Translation of the Export Certificate
• Original Bill of Lading (B/L) (3 originals + 3 copies)
• Official Commercial Invoice & Packing List
• Pre-Shipment Inspection & Radiation Certificates (JEVIC, EAA, QISJ where required by your destination country).

Yes, absolutely. Japan is globally acknowledged as one of the best sources for Left-Hand Drive (LHD) European luxury and performance vehicles (Mercedes-Benz, AMG, BMW M, Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley). In Japan, owning an authentic Left-Hand Drive European vehicle is regarded as a prestige status symbol. These vehicles are typically garage-kept, maintained strictly at official Japanese main dealerships, and have remarkably low odometer readings.

Following auction purchase, inland transport to our Saitama yard and customs clearance takes approximately 7 to 10 days. Maritime voyage durations typically average:

• East Asia & Oceania: 12 to 20 days
• Middle East (Dubai / Jebel Ali): 20 to 28 days
• Europe & United Kingdom: 30 to 40 days
• Americas & Africa: 35 to 45 days

Full shipping line container tracking numbers or vessel booking confirmations are provided once loaded.
