Working Style and Procurement

Nexuss International primarily operates as a portal site, connecting customers with vehicles available at Japanese auction companies and other used vehicle selling portals in Japan.

We are not responsible for local import rules, regulations, or if a vehicle is refused entry into the customer’s requested country.

Nexuss International does not generally hold sufficient personal stock for the sale of used vehicles.

All requests made with Nexuss are considered requests to acquire a vehicle from local Japanese auctions and other used vehicle selling portals in Japan.

We provide assistance and advice in securing the right vehicle for you from Japan.

We are not responsible for misunderstandings regarding any vehicle shown on our database being perceived as our stock, unless explicitly specified otherwise.

Advertisements in our Newsletter and E-mails may feature vehicles exchanged directly from end-users, which are available for sale.

An invoice copy of a purchase made on the customer’s behalf serves as a supporting document for trust and open information exchange.

Vehicle purchasing is initiated only after customer confirmation and the receipt of a token money deposit.

Token money can be easily transferred online using Paypal & major credit cards. (See Online Payments section).

We accept the responsibility of arranging exports and all related processes for sending vehicles out of Japan.

We are not responsible for local import rules, regulations, or if a vehicle is refused entry into the customer’s requested country.

🚢 Shipment & Insurance

Shipping is arranged by the first available ship after the confirmation of full payment.

All documents (Insurance, Export-Certificate, and BILL OF LADING) are sent by EMS couriers within one week after shipment. Delays in B/L may occur due to amendments or corrections.

Freight charges are calculated based on:

A. Volume / Weight of the Vehicle.
B. Destination Port and Currency Exchange rates.
C. If opting for a Container, charges are calculated per container basis.
Exact freight charges will be calculated at the time of shipment.

Basic insurance coverage is included in the quoted “Ocean Charge.” This coverage is for total loss, disasters, acts of God, and damages clearly due to the negligence of the carrier.

Cars are not locked in Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) cases. Therefore, insurance will not cover the risk of petty thefts.

We will not bear responsibility for financial loss or damage caused by shipping delays, as we have no control over shipping schedules, bad weather, heavy traffic, overbooking, acts of war/terror, and/or their prevention.

Upon your request, we can arrange for extra insurance at 2% upon the declared invoice value.
