Country-Specific Import Requirements
Each country has its own regulations when it comes to importing used vehicles. Nichibo works closely with dealers to ensure that all vehicles purchased meet these standards, preventing delays and unexpected costs. Here are some key factors we consider when exporting vehicles worldwide:
Rules and Regulations
Right-Hand Drive Compliance
Many countries, including the UK, Australia, and Japan, require right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles for legal road use. Nichibo ensures that the vehicles we export comply with the driving standards of each destination country.
Age Restrictions
Certain nations impose age restrictions on used vehicle imports. For example:
- New Zealand restricts imports to vehicles under 20 years old unless they meet special exemptions.
- Australia requires most used imports to be less than 12 years old.
- Some European countries limit imports to vehicles under 10 years old. Nichibo Japan helps you navigate these regulations to ensure your purchases align with local requirements.
Emissions Compliance

Governments enforce strict emissions standards to reduce pollution. Our team ensures that import used vehicles from Japan Worldwide meet the necessary regulations, such as:
- Euro 5/6 compliance for European countries.
- EPA standards for North America.
- Australian Design Rules (ADR) for vehicles imported to Australia. Roadworthiness Inspection
Most countries require a roadworthiness inspection before a vehicle can be legally driven. This includes checks on:
