YOU COULD ALSO ADD SEAFREIGHT INSURANCE FOR THE FREIGHT IF YOU WANTED AT ABOUT 3% OF THE CARS JAPANESE VALUE AND ALSO MUST THINK ABOUT 'E'MARKED AND SPEED RATED AND LOAD RATED TYRES WHICH MOST IN JAPAN DONT HAVE SO EXPECT TO BUY SOME UK TYRES OR BORROW SOME FOR THE SVA TEST.ALSO WORTH NOTING IS THAT THE YEN PRICE YOU TRANSFER TO JAPAN FOR THE CAR WILL NOT BE THE YEN PRICE THAT CUSTOMS USE TO CALCULATE YOUR DUTY AND VAT DUE, THIS CUSTOMS RATE IS SET EVERY MONTH USING AN AVERAGE OF THE MONTHS RATES BEFORE, SO YOU MAY BUY IT AT 195 YEN TO THE £ BUT WHEN IT ARRIVES THE RATE MAY HAVE FALLEN WITH CUSTOMS TO 180 YEN SO THEREFORE MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR OVERALL PRICE FOR THE CAR, OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD WORK BOTH WAYS AND YOU COULD SAVE MONEY....
