Export Certificate
Official de-registration document issued by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
IncludedEvery certificate, translation and inspection your customs authority needs — prepared, verified and delivered before the vehicle arrives.
Import problems almost always trace back to missing or mis-translated documents. EFJ prepares the full export package the moment payment clears, and sends scans by email before the originals leave Japan. That means your broker or agent can pre-clear the shipment.
We keep certified translators, JEVIC-authorized inspectors and a licensed export documentation specialist on staff. Every document is issued in your name, ready for registration.
The exact list depends on your country — we tailor it to your customs authority’s requirements.
