HOW IT WORKS

From Japan
to your next car.

A controlled sourcing process where you review the vehicle, approve the decision and know what happens next.

THE COMPLETE JOURNEY

Nine stages.
One clear route.

01

Tell us the vehicle, budget and destination you need.

02

SEARCH

We search suitable Japanese auction and market opportunities.

03

REVIEW

You review the available vehicle, condition and auction information.

04

APPROVAL

You decide whether IMX should proceed.

05

BID / PURCHASE

IMX coordinates the approved auction bid or purchase.

06

PAYMENT

Payments follow the agreed 10%, 40% and 50% stages.

07

EXPORT

The vehicle enters Japan-side export preparation and shipping coordination.

08

DOCUMENTATION

Relevant export documentation is coordinated.

09

B/L SURRENDER

Final payment is completed before Bill of Lading surrender/release.

THE HANDOVER

Japan-side export.
Destination-side import.

IMX COORDINATES

Sourcing, approved bidding/purchase, Japan-side export coordination, relevant documentation and B/L surrender.

CUSTOMER / APPOINTED AGENT

Destination customs clearance, duties and taxes, local compliance, registration and collection/delivery.

TIMING

Every vehicle follows stages,
not a fake stopwatch.

Auction timing, payment completion, vessel availability, route, port operations and documentation all affect the overall journey. IMX communicates progress by stage rather than promising a universal delivery time.
