Where we ship

We sell and export the vehicle to you from Japan. You import it in your own name and collect it at the port. Below are the ports we book into regularly. If yours is not listed, ask us.

Destinations

Some destinations have rules worth their own page. We are adding them as we go, starting with Hawaiʻi, which is one of our busiest and also the one with the most uncertainty around road registration.

  • Hawaiʻi: Honolulu and the neighbor islands

    Pier 31/32 pickup and free days, inter-island barge, and how registration is actually decided there.

  • Alaska, Gulf Coast, East Coast, Canada

    Guides in progress. Ask us in the meantime and we will answer for your port directly.

Everywhere else the process is the same: we sell and export the vehicle to you, you are the importer of record, and you collect it at the terminal.
