How to Order JDM Cars & Parts from Japan

Importing JDM cars and parts from Japan doesn’t have to be complicated. At 360 JDM Import, we’ve simplified the process so you always know what to expect — from pricing and sourcing to container shipping and pickup.

This page walks you through exactly how to order JDM parts or vehicles from Japan, step by step.

Whether you’re importing a full vehicle or sourcing individual parts, the process starts with clear communication and accurate details. Once we receive your request, we handle the sourcing, export coordination, and shipping logistics from Japan.

If it fits in a container — we can help you import it.

Step 1: Submit Part Details

To begin a parts order, send us the following information:

• A direct link to the part or listing
• A clear description of the item
• Your full name
• Contact information
• Preferred destination or pickup location
• Any special requests or notes

The more accurate the details, the smoother the process.

Once we review your request, we’ll provide a clear cost breakdown that includes:

• The part purchase price
• Our service fee
• A shipping estimate

Shipping costs are finalized once the item arrives and is prepared for container loading. There are no hidden fees — everything is communicated upfront.

We source parts from trusted Japanese platforms, including:

• Japanese auction sites
• Japanese automotive retailers
• Used parts stores and performance shops

If the part exists in Japan, we can usually source it.

After purchase, parts are shipped to our Japan facility where they are:

• Inspected
• Securely packaged
• Prepared for export
• Loaded into a shared container

Container shipping allows multiple orders to ship together, keeping costs lower for customers.

Step 1: Select a Vehicle

You can import a vehicle by:

• Purchasing from available inventory
• Requesting help bidding on Japanese vehicle auctions

We’ll confirm eligibility, pricing, and next steps before proceeding.

Once purchased, the vehicle goes through the export process, which includes:

• Deregistration in Japan
• Export documentation
• Vessel scheduling and booking

All paperwork is handled to ensure a smooth shipment.

Vehicles are shipped from Japan to the destination port. Typical timelines range from 6 to 10 weeks, depending on shipping schedules and port conditions.

Once shipped, you’ll receive shipping details and documentation, including the Bill of Lading.

360 JDM Import currently accepts the following payment options:

• Zelle

Payment instructions are provided during invoicing or checkout.

After the Container Arrives

When the container reaches its destination:

• Parts are available for pickup at the container location
• Buyers are responsible for pickup or arranging onward shipping
• All shipments are FOB (Free On Board) unless otherwise arranged

For vehicles, a licensed import broker is required to complete customs clearance.

• Parts: Shipping time depends on container schedules and consolidation
• Vehicles: Typically arrive within 6–10 weeks from purchase

Timelines may vary based on vessel availability, customs processing, and destination port.

• Double-check part compatibility before ordering
• Provide accurate links and descriptions
• Ask questions early to avoid delays
• Understand import requirements for your destination

Clear details help prevent issues later in the process.
