Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Tokyo to Vienna

Japan's "3-year car rule" refers to the mandatory, costly vehicle inspection called Shaken, where a new car's first inspection is due three years after registration, with subsequent inspections every two years, making older cars expensive to keep and boosting new car sales, often leading to trade-ins around the three-year mark. This strict system ensures high safety standards and creates a steady supply of well-maintained used cars for export, say www.alibaba.com and Japanese Nostalgic Car.

For Private importers: The private package is $2400 NZD plus Clean Car tax and any GST applied if the vehicle is shipped to any of the main ports and delivered within the metropolitan area. If delivery is out of the metropolitan areas, there will be extra transport charges applicable.

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.
