New Zealand imports large number of used vehicles from  Japan, Singapore and UK. However its main imports are direct from Japan. New  Zealand imports wide range of vehicles from hatchbacks to sedan cars, family  MPV\u2019s to 4WD\u2019s, commercial vans and trucks. Diesel vehicles are preferred for  commercial use while petrol is the choice for personal use cars. These days\u2019  hybrid vehicles are also popular, Toyota Prius being the preferred choice. Car  Import laws contain language that is difficult to understand for the people, especially  those who wish to import their dream car from Japan for the first time. This  makes them feel slightly frightened and worried about their ability to engage  in business with Japan. While the truth is that importing used cars from Japan  is a very simple and easy process. <\/p>\n<p>Used cars from Japan are preferred for their luxury and speed. There are various brands available that can be used for day to day travelling. Toyota vehicles are famous for their durability, quality, comfort and safety. Not just a world leader in passenger vehicles, Toyota is also Japan\u2019s biggest manufacturer of commercial vans, mini buses and medium sized trucks.

Since most of the car buyers aren\u2019t familiar with these terms, let  us make it easy for you to understand. Any vehicle that is manufactured in  Japan in the year 2000 and onwards can be imported into NZ, generally speaking.  NZ is a right hand drive country and people drive cars on the left side of the  road, hence they use right hand drive cars with car steering wheel on the right  side of the vehicle. Left hand drive vehicles are not allowed in NZ. Used car exporters Japan rely on specific rules of  the importing country. <\/p>\n<p>New Zealand has one of the toughest bio-security  regulations in the world. The vehicles must not have any bio-security risk  organisms and must be free of contamination both internally and externally  prior to entry into New Zealand. Each vehicle is inspected to MAFBNZ Standards  (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Bio-Security New Zealand) to make sure  that vehicle is free of risk contaminants. Vehicles are also subject to New  Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) border inspection to ensure the safety  requirements of the vehicle. If a vehicle has any damage that affects its  structural integrity, it can\u2019t be legally registered for use in NZ. Odometer  tampering is a crime in NZ and vehicles with odometer clock tampering are  denied entry into NZ.<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles must undergo the Vehicle Entry Certification  Process which consists of detailed physical examination of vehicle\u2019s safety  performance. Once this process is complete, a vehicle can be legally registered  in NZ for road use. This is how used  cars Japan are imported. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Used cars from Japan are reliable and ensure to deliver high end performance.
