You Won the Auction—Now What? A Simple Guide to Post-Auction Success


🎉 Step One: You Won the Bid—Let’s Lock It In

Winning the auction is exciting, but the real work starts now. The first step is securing your purchase and confirming the car’s condition.

  • Safe, Fast Payment: Your agent (Nexuss Int’l Co.,Ltd.) handles the payment directly with the auction house—usually in Japanese Yen—so you don’t have to worry about international transfers or exchange rates.
  • Final Auction Sheet Check: After the sale, a final check before transporting is carried out. In case of problem the vehicle is reported to the auction staff. Or if everything is as per the inspector’s report the vehicle is carried out by the transporters. No surprises, no hidden issues.

✅ This step protects your investment and confirms the car is exactly what you expected.


📄 Step Two: Paperwork That Moves the Car

Exporting a car from Japan involves official documents—and your agent takes care of all of them.

  • Deregistration Certificate: This proves the car is no longer registered in Japan and is ready to leave the country.
  • Customs Clearance: Your agent prepares and submits all required forms to Japanese customs, ensuring the car can be shipped without delays.
  • Shipping Documents: They secure the Bill of Lading and arrange insurance for the journey, so your vehicle is protected from port to port.

✅ Proper paperwork means no delays, no fines, and no headaches at customs.


🚢 Step Three: Shipping That Fits Your Needs

Your agent helps choose the best shipping method based on your car and destination:

  • RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off): Ideal for working vehicles—simple and cost-effective.
  • Container Shipping: Best for more than 1 unit or rare, high-value, or non-running cars.
  • Tracking & Port Coordination: You’ll get updates on the shipping schedule, and your agent works with port staff to make sure everything’s ready when the car arrives.

✅ Smart logistics planning ensures your car arrives safely and on time.


🌍 Step Four: Support at Your Destination

Even after the car leaves Japan, your agent helps you prepare for import.

  • Country-Specific Guidance: Every country has its own rules. Your agent provides tailored advice—like EPA/DOT rules in the USA, biosecurity checks in New Zealand, or KEBS standards in Kenya.
  • Customs Packet: You’ll receive all the documents you need to clear customs, including the Export Certificate, Bill of Lading, and invoice.

✅ Being prepared means your car clears customs smoothly and legally.
