Les enchères automobiles au Japon sont traditionnellement réservées aux professionnels. Les véhicules y sont présentés en l’état, avec des informations techniques et des rapports d’inspection conçus avant tout pour un public B2B. Ces véhicules ne sont donc pas spécialement préparés ni garantis comme ils le seraient dans un cadre de vente au détail à des particuliers.
Cela signifie que, même en disposant de vérifications et de photos, il existe toujours un risque inhérent : nous faisons de notre mieux pour analyser l’état du véhicule (via des inspections et l’accès à l’historique), mais un risque 0 % n’existe pas.
Assurance en cas de dommages :
Toprank Europe souscrit, au nom de ses clients, une assurance maritime couvrant les éventuels dégâts durant le transport. En cas de dommages à la réception (par exemple, au port), nous vous fournissons les documents nécessaires pour ouvrir un dossier d’indemnisation.
Toutefois, il appartient au client d’envoyer la réclamation par e-mail à l’assureur, accompagnée de photos claires et de toutes les pièces justificatives, afin de lancer la procédure.
Cost of Exporting from Japan
Export Costs (to be paid directly in Japan, excluding agency fees):
- Domestic Transport : Varies depending on the type and location of the vehicle in Japan (typically between 10,000 and 50,000 yen).
- Miscellaneous Export Fees Depends on the shipping method (container or RoRo).
- RoRo: 40,000 yen
- Container: 150,000 yen
- Ocean Freight : Costs vary based on the dimensions of the vehicle, exchange rates, and market prices.
- Example: In June 2024, RoRo costs were approximately €1,700 for a small coupe.
- Conteneur 20ft : $3,500
- Marine Insurance : Calculated as a percentage of the insured value.

Processus de communication et fixation du budget :
Premier contact par e-mail : nous discutons de la faisabilité du projet, du type de véhicule recherché et du budget global.
Communication via WhatsApp : une fois le projet validé, nous vous enverrons régulièrement les annonces de véhicules et des photos via WhatsApp pour vous aider à visualiser le produit avant de lancer la procédure d’enchère.
Définition du prix maximum (JPY) : vous nous communiquez une limite d’enchère en yens (JPY) que nous ne dépasserons pas lors de la vente aux enchères. Si nécessaire, vous pouvez également prévoir une petite marge supplémentaire pour augmenter vos chances de remporter le véhicule.
Le simulateur d’import : l’outil de simulation présent sur notre site n’est qu’une estimation indicative. Les coûts de transport, les taux de change ou les taxes peuvent varier à tout moment et ne peuvent pas être garantis à l’avance. Par conséquent, les résultats de la simulation ne constituent pas un devis ferme.
