How it works
-
Tell us what you want
Pick a car from our stock, or give us the model, year range and budget. Two minutes on the form or one WhatsApp message.
-
We find it and you approve
We send you the auction sheet, photos and a firm FOB price. Nothing is bought until you say yes.
-
We buy, inspect, ship and deliver the papers
We bid at the Japanese auction, run the pre-shipment inspection your country requires, ship to your port and hand your clearing agent the export certificate and bill of lading.
Why buy from Hana
-
You talk to the people who bid for you
Big exporters put small buyers in a queue. Here the same small team handles your car from the first message to the bill of lading, on WhatsApp, in plain English.
-
One car gets the same care as ten
We are built for buyers the big names don't have time for: a first import, a small dealer, a family car for relatives back home.
-
You approve before we bid
Auction sheet, photos and price first. You see everything before we bid — no costs added after we buy.
-
Inspected and documented
Pre-shipment inspection for your country, export certificate, bill of lading — handled and sent to your clearing agent.
How you pay
Nothing is due until you approve a car.
You approve — nothing due
We send the auction sheet, photos and a firm FOB price. You say yes or no.
Deposit
Paid by bank transfer once you approve. It confirms your order and lets us bid.
We buy and inspect
We win the car at auction, run the pre-shipment inspection and send you the report.
Balance before loading
We send a written invoice in USD. The car ships once the balance is paid.
Documents follow the car
Export certificate, bill of lading, inspection certificate and invoice go to you and your clearing agent the week the ship sails.
If we do not win the car at auction, your deposit is returned in full or moved to the next car — your choice.
What you receive with every car
Auction sheet
The Japanese inspector's condition report, sent before you pay a deposit. We explain the grade and every mark in plain English.
Inspection certificate
The pre-shipment inspection your country requires, issued before loading.
Export certificate
Proves the car is deregistered in Japan and cleared for export.
Bill of lading
Your clearing agent needs this to release the car at the port.
Invoice
The amount you paid, for your customs declaration.

Dealers and importers
Buying a few cars a month? You get the attention a 500-car importer gets at a big exporter. We keep a running list of what you want us to bid on, share the auction sheet before every bid, and ship in batches — RoRo or container.
Talk to us about volumeQuestions
Which countries do you ship to?
Anywhere with a RoRo or container service from Japan. We have import guides for the markets we know best (see Where we ship); for others, tell us your port and we quote.
I can't read an auction sheet. Is that a problem?
No. We translate every sheet — grade, notes and diagram marks — into plain English before you decide.
Why not just buy from a big exporter?
You can, and for 200 cars a month you should. For one car, or five, the big names give you a web form and a queue. We give you a small team that answers your messages, bids for you and stays with the car until it is on the ship.
Do you buy the cars yourselves?
Yes. We buy the car ourselves at the Japanese auction — our bid, our name on the auction invoice. We inspect it and ship it. From deposit to your port you deal with us directly, not an agent.
How do I pay?
A deposit once you approve the car and the price, the balance before shipping. We invoice in USD.
Is the car inspected?
Yes. Every car gets the pre-shipment inspection your country requires, and you see the auction sheet and photos before we bid.
How long does it take?
Typically 6–10 weeks from auction win to arrival, depending on the destination and sailing schedules.
Do you show prices?
Yes. Every car in stock shows a live FOB price in USD. Freight to your port is quoted on request.
