Four steps, no surprises
Every cost is on the table before you commit — the car, the freight, and what KRA will want when it lands.
- 1
Pick and bid
Tell us the car and your ceiling. We bid across the Japanese auction houses on your behalf and stop where you said stop.
- 2
Inspect and pay
Auction sheet and photographs before any money moves. You sign a sales contract, and pay a 10% deposit that is refundable if we win nothing.
- 3
Ship to Mombasa
The car leaves Japan two to three weeks after purchase, then about four weeks at sea to Mombasa. You pay the balance in instalments as it moves.
- 4
Clear and register
Duty is paid to KRA at the Mombasa terminal, where the car is cleared and registered. About a week, then it travels up by carrier.
