Vehicle Compliance Approved for Australian Roads
So, you’ve purchased a vehicle from Japan via the Japan car auctions and need to take the next step in ensuring all compliance requirements are met. At Import Car Japan, we’re here to get your car over the line with an authentic vehicle engineering certificate. When going through the importing process, our experienced team will ensure your car compliance is fully approved and ready for driving on Australian roads.
Once the correct process is completed, you will be issued a compliance plate, which is generally placed within the door pillar, in addition to your car engineering certificate which will allow you to get your car registered after the roadworthy is finalised.
Import Car Japan (ICJ) has partnered with a range of compliance centres all over Australia, so no matter where you’re based, we are the team to call.
Peace of Mind with your Import Car Engineering Certificates
At Import Car Japan, we do it all when it comes to your vehicle compliance needs in Australia. Whether you’ve previously dealt with companies that would only bid on the car, handle strict compliance issues only or assist with just the importing side of things after you purchased a vehicle, we understand how stressful this whole process can be. Not to mention, all the hidden charges and fees that take you by surprise after the sale.
Our specialist import team is here to ensure you are equipped with all the right information to ensure a seamless and smooth vehicle importing process from start to finish. Our comprehensive service means you get all the importing tasks dealt with by a professional that understands the in’s and out’s of the Japanese auto market.
