▼ Where your money goes PICKUP IN HOUSTON

Your total is what it costs to have the item waiting for you in Houston. It's made of these pieces:

¥

The part

What the seller is asking, or what you win it for, converted from yen on the day we pay.

%

Our fee: parts

30% of the part price up to $2,000, then 25% on everything over that. It pays for the export side, import taxes and tariffs, customs paperwork, and storing and handling your item.

⚑

Our fee: vehicles

One flat fee based on the car's price, starting at $1,500. Details in Vehicles.

⇨

Getting it to our warehouse

Whatever the seller charges to ship to Saitama. Bigger items and far-away sellers cost more. You'll see it before you say yes.

⚓

The container ride

A flat rate per item from Japan to the US. See Shipping rates.

$

Import duty: vehicles only

Exactly what customs charges us, nothing more. See Vehicles.

+

Shipping to your door

Don't want to drive to Houston? We'll quote shipping separately. It's the only thing not in your total.

Parts fee

First $2,000 of the part price 30%
Every dollar over $2,000 25%

Example: a $3,000 part = $600 + $250 = an $850 fee.

▼ Vehicles 25 YEARS & UP
25

Old enough to import

US law lets a car in once it hits 25 years old, so that's all we'll bid on.

✓

We do the legwork

Bidding, talking to the seller, trucking in Japan, export papers, and US customs. You end up with the paperwork to title and plate it.

Paying for a car: three steps

TO START

Deposit

10% of the most you're willing to bid. It counts toward your car payment.

CAR WON

Car payment

The price of the car plus trucking to our Saitama warehouse, minus your deposit.

CAR SHIPS

Shipping payment

Our fee, import duty, and ocean freight to the US.

Expect about 4 to 8 weeks between the car payment and the shipping payment while the car waits for a spot on a container. Add the three together and that's your total to Houston.

Vehicle fee

Car price $6,500 or under $1,500
$6,501 – $20,000 $2,000
$20,001 – $40,000 $2,500
$40,001 – $65,000 $3,000
Over $65,000 Contact us for a quote

It covers the export side, customs paperwork in Japan and the US, storage, moving the car between trucks and containers, and handling. Import duty is extra.

Import duty

Cars 2.5%
Work vans, pickups & cargo trucks 25%

Customs sets this, not us, and you pay exactly what they charge. Cargo vehicles pay 25% instead of 2.5%, not on top of it, and we'll tell you before you bid.

No warranty on cars. Every imported car is sold in whatever condition it arrives in. We're an importer, not a car dealership, and we can't register, title, insure or smog it for you. Check with your state before you buy to make sure you can register and drive it.

▼ How long it takes TIMING
⏱

Parts: about 2.5–3.5 months

That's the usual trip from purchase to Houston. Each container runs a little differently, and special-order items can take longer.

⚡

In a hurry? Tell us when you order. For an extra fee, based on size and your deadline, we'll move your item to the front of the line.

▼ Ground rules PLEASE READ
  1. Once we've bought it or bid on it, there's no backing out.
  2. Pay invoices within 48 hours.
  3. If a later invoice goes unpaid, the items we bought for you stay with us. Paying late while we still have your item adds 15%.
  4. Arrival times are our best estimate, not a promise. Containers run on their own schedule.
  5. Sellers sometimes get things wrong. It's rare and out of our hands, so study the photos and ask questions before you commit.
  6. No warranty on vehicles. See Vehicles.
  7. We can turn down any order.

▼ Questions we get a lot
I don't have a link. Can you find it?

Yes. Tell us the car and the part, and we'll dig through Japan and send you options.

Can you bid on an auction for me?

Yes. Give us your top number and we'll bid up to it, never past it.

Where do I pick up?

At our Houston shop, by appointment. Or we'll ship it anywhere in the US.

Can you bring in a whole car?

If it's 25 years or older, yes. Read the Vehicles section, then send us the listing.
