Rashisha Motors stands as a premier international supplier of motor vehicles and construction machinery. Headquartered in Kawasaki, Japan, we specialize in bridging the gap between local Japanese vehicle auctions and global buyers, particularly in East, Southern, and West Africa. Our platform is built on transparency, safety, and speed, addressing the core concerns of vehicle importers.
1. Pre-Shipment Quality Inspections: We ensure that every vehicle exported complies with destination-market regulations. Before loading, vehicles destined for East Africa undergo rigorous checks—such as QISJ for Kenya and JEVIC for Tanzania and Uganda—guaranteeing that vehicles are roadworthy, have genuine odometer readings, and are free of radiation or toxic materials. This eliminates the risk of terminal penalties and customs rejections.
2. Direct Sourcing Advantage: By eliminating third-party dealers and agents, we pass direct wholesale auction pricing straight to our end-consumers. Our yard presence in Japan, South Korea, UK, Thailand, and UAE allows us to locate specific models and verify specs directly. Whether you need a fuel-efficient Toyota hybrid, a rugged diesel Isuzu truck, or heavy-duty agricultural equipment, we buy and package it with optimal logistics.
3. Secure Financial Transactions: We utilize secure bank-to-bank SWIFT telegraphic transfers (TT) and verified local payment options. We issue detailed Proforma invoices, and provide clients with regular updates as payments clear and shipping bookings are finalized. Our tracking logs show exactly when your cargo is confirmed and on what vessel it is scheduled to sail.
4. End-to-End Logistics and Customs Preparation: Getting the car on a ship is only half the battle. We prepare complete documentation packages—including the Original Bill of Lading (BoL), export certificates, and certified English translation of logs—and dispatch them via DHL to ensure they arrive before the ship lands. We work closely with major shipping lines (like Hoegh Autoliners, NYK, and MOL) to offer low ocean freight rates for both Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) and containerized shipping options.
Access over 50,000 vehicles weekly through our live auction networks.
We book the earliest departing vessel after payment confirmation.
Post-purchase spare parts delivery directly to your doorstep.
All shipments are fully insured against transit damage.
Your step-by-step roadmap to importing a high-quality vehicle or machine safely from Japan.
Search our live inventory or request a specific vehicle or machine using our custom search form. Once you locate the item, click the inquiry button to speak with a representative.
We will send you a formal Proforma Invoice (PI) listing the FOB price, ocean freight costs, marine insurance, and total CIF price to your destination port.
Proceed to your local bank to make a SWIFT Telegraphic Transfer (TT) for the total amount listed. Email us a copy of the bank slip to reserve the vehicle.
We coordinate mandatory pre-shipment inspections (QISJ/JEVIC) and book the vehicle on the next available vessel. We dispatch original documents to you via DHL.
Once the vessel arrives, present the original Bill of Lading, invoice, and inspection certificates to your clearing agent to complete customs clearance.
We provide tailored shipping schedules and custom regulatory advice for the following markets.
