First-time buyers often ask: What documents will I get with the car?
Here is the standard export documentation package:

Export Certificate – Japanese deregistration title for customs (similar to a car title).
Commercial Invoice – shows buyer, seller, and declared vehicle value.
B/L (Bill of Lading) or Seaway Bill – the official shipping document used to release the vehicle at the destination port.

⚠️ Important Note:
Most major shipping lines (like Maersk) have phased out paper B/Ls with stamps.
Instead, they issue digital Seaway Bills, which are safer, trackable, and impossible to lose.
If a paper B/L is lost, it is almost impossible to reissue.

📌 Region-Specific Requirements

Some countries may require additional documents or inspections before customs clearance:

JEVIC / EAA / QISJ inspections — required in some African and Pacific countries
Engine number & engine photo
Translated Export Certificate (English, Russian, Arabic, etc.)
Certified or notarized translations — often required in Europe, the Middle East, or America
For EU and US imports — you may need to declare a Consignee and Notify Party (usually a local customs broker or import agency)

🛡 Container Preparation & Vehicle Protection

Before loading, we ensure your vehicle is protected from any damage during transit:

Nylon covers for steering wheel, gear shift, and seat
Plastic edge guards for doors
Rubber and foam pads for alloy wheels
Wheel chocks and tie-downs for secure mounting
Full photo and video documentation of the loading process

This documentation is also helpful in case you order a pre-shipment inspection.

📥 What Do You Need to Pick Up Your Car?

When your car arrives at the destination port, you or your broker will typically need:

A copy of the Seaway Bill or release confirmation
The Export Certificate (translated, if required)
The Commercial Invoice

These documents are generally sufficient to complete customs clearance and registration in most countries.
