Agreement: After confirming details, we share a sales agreement outlining the terms.
Vehicle Acquisition
- Make a minimum deposit of 20% of the CIF (Cost and Freight) cost via bank transfer, Mpesa, or cash.
- Upon payment confirmation, we commence the purchase process in Japan.
- After successful purchase, top up to 50% of CIF to facilitate transport to the port yard, inspection, and shipping.
- This process usually takes 5 – 10 business days depending on the vehicle's inland location.
Vehicle Inspection & Shipping
Once at the port yard in Japan, we obtain more photos and facilitate mandatory documentation:
- QISJ Certificate: Quality inspection is done and a KEBS Certificate of Roadworthiness is issued.
- Export Certificate: Proves the car was legally deregistered in Japan and cleared for export.
A shipping schedule is issued, and the Bill of Lading (BL) is shared 10-14 business days after departure.
Customs Clearance & NTSA Registration
The buyer pays the balance to clear 100% of the CIF upon issuance of the BL, at least 10 days before the ship arrives in Mombasa. Port clearance and delivery fees are also paid.
KRA Customs Clearance:
Our experienced team handles import duties, taxes, and documentation. We guide you through paying the exact duty amount directly under your KRA pin.
NTSA Registration:
- After duty payment, an application is made for NTSA registration.
- Number plates are typically ready within a week.
- The official Logbook is processed in about two weeks.
Vehicle Delivery & Support
The vehicle is delivered and handed over to you, marking the successful completion of the import process.
After-Sales Support: We advise organizing comprehensive insurance before the vehicle leaves Mombasa. Our team remains available to support you post-purchase with any concerns.
