Import a Car from Japan to Cyprus

How does importing a car from Japan to Cyprus work?

The process normally starts with defining the vehicle and budget, checking suitable stock or auction options in Japan, reviewing the available vehicle information, arranging purchase and shipping, and then completing the applicable Cyprus clearance and registration steps.

What should I check before choosing a Japanese car?

Look beyond the photos. Confirm the vehicle identity, year, mileage, condition information, available auction or inspection documentation, specification and whether the vehicle can meet the current requirements that apply in Cyprus.

How do I understand the total cost?

Consider the complete landed journey rather than only the purchase price in Japan. Shipping, insurance where applicable, customs and taxes, port or clearance costs, inspection, registration and preparation can all affect the final figure. Requirements and charges can change, so current figures should be confirmed for the specific vehicle before purchase.

Can amotoragency help me find a specific car?

Yes. Send the make, model, approximate budget, preferred year, mileage and any important options through Find My Car. You can also browse current cars and examples in What We Imported.

Where can I verify official Cyprus import information?

Vehicle import and customs requirements should always be checked against the current information published by the Republic of Cyprus authorities before committing to a vehicle. Our import cost guide and Cyprus registration guide explain the main areas to verify.
