Note: This is an example, not a quote. Our commission is charged on the Japan car purchase price and is not included in the estimated total. This Toyota example is treated as Japan-manufactured, so customs duty is shown as €0. Non-Japan manufactured vehicles may be subject to 10% customs duty. Exchange rates, VAT, VRT, NCT and local charges can change.
Optional extras — Japan yard
Finishing touches before your car ships to Ireland.
Request
Request
Request
After the car is secured in our Japan yard, and before it leaves for Ireland, we can arrange these on request:
Type change
Reclassification work at the Japan yard so the vehicle is set up correctly for Irish registration on arrival.
Car polish
Exterior polish applied in the yard before shipping, so the paint lands in Ireland looking at its best.
Interior cleaning
Deep clean of the cabin at the yard, so seats, dash and carpets are fresh before the car is loaded for shipment.
