Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Dhaka to Yokohama

Three years after purchase, every new car has to go through an expensive inspection process, and once every two years after that. Furthermore, vehicles older than 10 years have to pass the inspection every year. As a result, most car owners in Japan write off their cars after 10 years and buy new ones.

Importing a car from Japan involves significant costs beyond the purchase price, including a 2.5% import duty for cars (25% for trucks), plus Customs fees (MPF, HMF), shipping, and state-specific registration/inspection, with potential for higher tariffs (around 15-37.5%) depending on current trade policies and vehicle age/type, making total landed costs $4,000-$10,000+.

Often, the safest, simplest and cheapest way to do international car shipping is in a shipping container. You can ship one or more motor vehicles in an ocean container with no other items, or you can include one or more vehicles together with miscellaneous personal effects.
