Why Circle Kei

White 4WD Kei truck on a farm road beside rice fields in Japan

In Japan

The team is based in Nagoya. We source where the vehicles actually are, at auctions and dealers across the country.

Two Kei trucks parked at a worksite in Japan

Inspected and reconditioned

We own the vehicle before you do, so the work happens here: timing belt, servicing and mechanical repairs, then photos and video before you commit to anything.

Auction access

Japanese dealer auctions run thousands of Kei vehicles a week. We buy from that whole market, so you are not limited to one yard of stock.

Export support

Deregistration, export documents and freight booking are handled here. We sell and export the vehicle to you, and you import it in your own name and collect at your port.

From Japanese auctions to your port

Nagoya, Japan to Honolulu and every major US port

Where we ship

We book vehicles into the major U.S. ports, from Honolulu and the West Coast to the Gulf and East Coast, and export to Canada, the UK and Ireland. Hawaiʻi has its own page, because registration there is decided locally and the answer varies.
