Importing from Japan

[beaneater1001]

does anyone have experience importing cars from Japan?

I have checked the site of an exporter (www.japan-partner.com) and the cars there have really low prices!

does anyone know about import regulations? is it difficult?

Its not advisable. Used car, brand new pareho kayong kakainin sa custom hanggang sa magdugo ka. Lam nyo na mga swapang at bwaya doon. Baka sabihin pa nila na nahulog sa dagat kaya hindi nila makita yong kotse mo. Forget it, ang mas mabuti mag order ka nalang ng used engine and tranny sa Japan then built it your own.

Forget the idea. how can i explain this?

After buying the car from Japan or wherever, you will end up surrendering and giving up your car to customs because of their convoluted processes and lagay system. i heard you will have to pay 5 x as much! etc etc, and know the right people to talk to inside before you can take it out.. and i'm willing to bet you can't.. it's no different from dealing with kidnappers

Importing cars are reserved for the big boys who know how to deal with these low lives. Mostly these are gray market dealers selling big ticket items like bullet proof suburbans and porsche cayennes that have extra features not found in the local dealers. They know the ins and outs, and these are mostly people who have blood connections with customs and philippine royalty.

sorry na lang tayo

It is actually illegal to import used vehicles but not impossible. Assuming you have the right connections you will end up spending the same as importing a brand new car of the same bracket.

Dapat alam nyo rules and regulations regarding importation at wag basta magagalit sa mga taga customs dahil sa kanila din naman dadaan ang mga tsikot natin.

Yep it's cheap alright coz there are a lot of after costs to like taxes, dues, shipping , etc. and another problem is your LHD conversion. Sayang, imagine you bought a powerful 2nd hand GT-R then you're going to have the conversion done by the same people doing conversions for surplus pajeros here, and test drive it to the skyway to do a Topsecret like (a Japanese supertuner shop) topspeed test... uhhh not a good idea. Unless you'll have it done by the Japanese guy that works from creative speed (he's an ex nismo japan mechanic).

[blacktop07]

is it cheaper to disassemble the car and send it in pieces and assemble it here?

customs will tell you that importing cars will kill the local car dealers. the enormous tax is there to discourage that (importation)

yet corruption from the government kills, literally, the whole country.

yes it's true, but because it's a statement coming from the government, it's not believeable.

you can't trust someone/something that contradicts himsleft/herslef/itself.

Is tradecarview.com for real? http://www.tradecarview.com/
Very cheap kasi prices nila, but adding freight charges and customs tax, is it advisable?...safe?

FYI to all,

Importation of used cars at Port Irene Cagayan is now resumed, they got extension of their import permit. So its legal again. If you want to import any cars I can help you. Don't worry about the taxes, its much lower in Cagayan than the normal process because Port Irene is a free port. Just PM me.
