Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Windhoek to Tokyo

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.

Japan's 25-year rule, more accurately the U.S. 25-Year Import Rule, allows cars not originally sold in the U.S. (like many JDM - Japanese Domestic Market - vehicles) to be imported legally without meeting modern U.S. safety/emissions standards once they are 25 years old from their manufacture date, bypassing complex and costly modifications for classic Japanese cars like the Nissan Skyline R34. This rule, part of the Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988, makes once-forbidden JDM icons accessible to enthusiasts by exempting them from FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards).
