Ocean Shipment Guide
Fast and Reliable Shipping from Japan
Monthly RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) direct shipping is available from Japan to Hawaii. WE OFFER SHIPPING FROM JAPAN TO HAWAII using this monthly service – which includes transport from our garage to the port facility. Shipping is also available to other ports in the USA, Canada, and Asia.
The current scheduled departure from Japan is between the 15th ~ 20th of each month, and the journey to Hawaii takes approximately 8 days. Additional charges may apply for shipment to other destinations or requests for expedited shipping.
We provide you with shipment information as well as the original Bill of Lading and export documents. In order for you to receive the vehicle and register it in Hawaii or other jurisdictions there are specific procedures required for importation of a vehicle into the United States. Any procedure not followed may delay receipt or leave you a vehicle which is unable to be registered.
