Step-1- Become a Registered Member

Register to become a member of Japan Trades and get access to the entire stock available at multiple auction houses. Let’s dive deep with Japan Trades and explore LIVE AUCTION.

Step-2- Security Deposit

Deposit an initial security amount which is usually USD 1,000 or JPY 80,000 to bid for a vehicle worth less than 1 million. We need to hold this amount before we bid on any of the cars. If the bid does not get successful, security deposit is fully refundable or adjustable in the customer’s account based on customer’s request. See the security Deposit Schedule

Step-3- Bidding Cars from Auction

• – You can place the bid directly by yourself from our auction websites.
• – We will only charge the actual auction price at which the bid is won. So try to bid as higher as you can in order to increase the chances of winning the bid.

Step-4- Auction Result

We will notify you with the result of your bid. Once you win the bid, we will send you the Performa Invoice that includes total price of car(s) FOB or C&F. The price will be calculated from the original buying price of auction.

Step-5- Final Payment

The final payment will be required in 5 working days. Payments made on the committed time will help us to save your order from cancellation.

In case of order cancellation 10% of the total selling value will be deducted from your deposit.
Step-6- Shipment

The shipment will be arranged as soon as the payment is confirmed.
