Bringing Vehicles Back from Japan
There are two ways of taking one’s own vehicles back home when leaving Japan; one if to follow the same procedure for exporting and importing commercial goods, which will cause the sender to pay taxes after returning home.
The other way of taking one’s vehicles back home does not concern any taxes. Many customs clearance agents can take care of necessary paperwork for completing this procedure. Basic documents needed for this procedure are the Declaration Card/Form, a valid passport, car registration and inspection certificates from the original country of issuance. In the latter case, vehicles cannot be resold to another party for two years after taking them back home.
Each person should choose the best way of bring back their vehicles back home taking their travel plan and life plan well into consideration.
