What are the disadvantages of purchasing a vehicle through an auction?

This is a fast-paced process, and while it may feel overwhelming at first, you’ll get used to it quickly through experience.

What happens after purchasing a vehicle?

Once you purchase a vehicle, we handle the entire export process from Japan to Belgium.
Your main task is to place bids based on the vehicle’s mileage, condition, and market value.

Can I obtain CO₂ and NOx emission data for my vehicle?

Yes. Whenever possible, we retrieve the CO₂ and NOx emission data relevant to your vehicle.
Our team is familiar with EU environmental standards, and if this data is unavailable for specific vehicles, we will inform you before you place your bid.

Shipping Time – How long does it take for my vehicle to arrive in Belgium?

The estimated shipping time from Japan to Belgium, typically via Antwerp or Zeebrugge port, is approximately 30 to 40 days, depending on the shipping route and schedule.

First Steps in the Process
