Importing a 4x4 from Japan, Worth It?

[jnoah7589]

Hey everyone,

Is anyone here importing 4x4s like the Land Cruiser, Surf, or Pajero from Japan? The options there are solid—low mileage and well-kept. I work with SAT Japan and can help if anyone has questions about the process.

Would love to hear from those who’ve already imported how’s your experience been?

@abdulbarshams I’ve been told that SUVs must be 5 years old or newer to import, whereas sedans can be 3 years old or newer. Is that correct?
Can anyone confirm this rule or share any official guidelines?

Japan se 4x4 import karna clean aur zyada specs wali gari ke liye behtar hai.
Lekin duty bohot zyada hoti hai, cost double ho sakti hai.
Long-term rakhni ho to worth it hai, resale ya low budget ho to nahi.
Parts aur insurance mehngi ho sakti hai, ye bhi dekh lein.
