Age Restrictions

  • Sri Lanka has vehicle age restrictions that depend on the type of vehicle being imported.

  • Passenger cars, SUVs, and other privately owned vehicles generally have stricter age limits than commercial vehicles. The permitted vehicle age varies depending on the vehicle category and the latest government regulations.

  • The vehicle's age is generally calculated from its date of manufacture or first registration, depending on the applicable regulations.

  • Always confirm the latest age requirements before selecting a vehicle, as import regulations may change.

Right-Hand Drive

  • Generally, only right-hand-drive (RHD) cars are allowed to be imported into Sri Lanka.

  • Always check the country's steering configuration requirements before buying, as this may cause import or registration problems.

Required Documents

Prepare the necessary documents before shipping your vehicle, including:

  • Export Certificate issued in Japan

  • Commercial Invoice

  • Bill of Lading

  • Vehicle Inspection or Condition Report (where applicable)

  • Import permits or approvals, if required

  • Identification and customs documents requested by Sri Lankan authorities

Comprehensive documentation ensures faster customs clearance and minimizes the chances of delays.

Customs Duties and Taxes

  • Customs duty, tax, and other government charges apply to imported vehicles.

  • The final price may vary depending on the type of vehicle, the engine size, fuel type, and tax laws at the time of purchase.

  • Check the landed cost before buying to prevent unplanned costs.

Vehicle Inspection and Compliance

  • Your car should meet the import and registration requirements in Sri Lanka.

  • All necessary inspection certificates and supporting documents should be available to the buyer before shipment.

  • Vehicles that do not comply with current import regulations may face delays, additional charges, or registration issues.

Customs Clearance and Registration

  • After the vehicle arrives in Sri Lanka, it must clear customs before it can be registered with the relevant authorities.

  • Having all shipping and import documents can make the registration process smoother and quicker.

Customs Clearance & Registration Process

Documents needed for customs clearance and vehicle registration are:

  1. Cancellation Certificate [both in Japanese & in English].
  2. Bill of Lading [Original 1st & 2nd].
  3. Commercial Invoice.
  4. Letter of Authorization [The letter confirming that you are giving legal rights to the clearing agent to act on your behalf].
  5. Identification Document, for example, a Passport.

Step 1:

The documents from 1-3 (Cancellation Certificate, Bill of Lading, and Invoice) mentioned above will be sent to you via DHL. Please prepare the letter of authorization and identification document yourself.

Step 2:

Prepare for the local customs clearance. You can reach out to us to get guidance on how to avail our customs clearance service or also arrange your own preferred agent.

Step 3:

Besides customs clearance, there will also be a process for duty and tax payment, police check for registration, and a roadworthiness check to obtain a number plate. A local clearing agent in South Africa will be helpful for these procedures.

Japanese Used Cars for Sale in Sri Lanka

Confidently import high-quality Japanese cars directly from Japan. SAT Japan allows Sri Lankan buyers to select from thousands of meticulously checked vehicles, dependable auction reports, and guidance from vehicle selection through delivery. From finding a fuel-efficient hybrid to a reliable family car to a practical SUV, all vehicles feature comprehensive condition inspections to ensure you're getting what you want before it hits the road.

Why Sri Lankan Buyers Choose Japanese Cars

Japanese vehicles have earned the trust of Sri Lankan drivers for their excellent value for money and fuel efficiency. Specific models such as the Toyota Aqua, Honda Vezel, and Toyota Prius are particularly sought after for their exceptional fuel efficiency, allowing drivers to save money at the pump without compromising comfort and reliability.

Many buyers don't realize that the actual savings can be made after the transaction. Japanese cars generally have greater availability of spares, lower maintenance costs, and higher resale demand compared to other car options. This allows owners to recover more of their investment when it's time to sell or upgrade.

The other benefit is access to Japan's stringent car inspection system. Many of the imported cars are accompanied by verified auction and maintenance reports, so the customer can have an idea of the car's condition before it arrives in Sri Lanka.

Japanese vehicles remain a reliable, efficient, and valuable option for both households and career and small business owners.

Why Buy From SAT Japan?

Importing a car from overseas is a major decision. You're not just purchasing a vehicle; you're placing your faith in the business that helps you discover, inspect, and ship it. At SAT Japan, we feel that the buyer is entitled to be given all the information prior to that commitment.

Verified Vehicle Information

In-depth inspection of each vehicle, including detailed specifications, photos, and condition data. We ensure that our buyers know exactly what they are buying before the vehicle departs from Japan.

Access to Thousands of Japanese Vehicles

We stock everything from fuel-efficient hybrids and family SUVs up to commercial vans and pickup trucks, from trusted dealers and auction networks throughout Japan, offering greater selection than many local markets can.

Direct Japan Sourcing

We buy vehicles directly from Japan and help buyers secure competitive pricing without going through multiple intermediaries. This not only creates better value but also a more diverse choice of vehicles.

Export Expertise You Can Rely On

From choosing a vehicle and collecting documents to shipping and delivery, our team will lead you through each step. From buying your first vehicle to adding more to an expanding business fleet, there is always a professional helping hand.

A Focus on Long-Term Value

We don't just help customers buy vehicles. We assist them in selecting vehicles that align with their budget, driving requirements, fuel efficiency objectives, and future plans.

Built on Trust

In many cases, the key to a smooth importation process is information. This is why at SAT Japan, we always take the time to be transparent, communicate, and build buyer confidence throughout the process.

How to Import a Car from Japan to Sri Lanka

Importing a Japanese car might seem confusing, but it's simple and clear if you know what to do. SAT Japan assists customers every step of the way and supports them in making well-informed choices before purchasing a vehicle off the dealer lot in Japan.

  1. Find the Right Vehicle

Shop Japanese vehicles, hybrids, SUVs, vans, and commercial vehicles. Review specifications, mileage, fuel economy,y and condition reports to help you find a vehicle that meets your needs and budget.

  1. Review Vehicle Details

Thoroughly check the images, specs, and condition details before buying the car. It is important to take the time to learn more about a car's history to avoid surprises after delivery.

  1. Request a Quote

After you've chosen a vehicle, we will provide a detailed quote, including the vehicle price and shipping details, so you know the total cost before you take any further steps.

  1. Complete the Purchase

Once an order is confirmed, the vehicle is ready for export, and all necessary paperwork is handled to ensure the transaction proceeds smoothly.

  1. Shipping to Sri Lanka

You can directly import cars from japan to Sri Lanka via reliable international shipping agents. We keep you up to date throughout the process. 

  1. Receive and Register Your Vehicle

Once the car reaches your point of destination, fill out the necessary customs and registration forms. Our staff will assist you with the required paperwork and make the process easier.

Japanese Car Auctions Explained

Professional auction networks are the source of many of Japan's best vehicles before they are even on dealership lots. They also provide buyers with more vehicles to choose from, better prices, and condition reports on each vehicle.

The transparency of Japanese auctions is one of their biggest advantages. Normally, the auction report will also include details on mileage, condition, and previous repairs, which will help the buyer make a better decision.

But not all of the cheapest cars are a good deal. Long-term ownership costs can be influenced more by the vehicle's auction grade, maintenance history, overall condition, and other factors than by the purchase price.

At SAT Japan, we can guide buyers through the auction reports and show them the vehicles that offer the right mix of reliability, value, and resale value.

Estimate Your Total Import Cost

The price quoted on a vehicle listing is just one of the cost components of importing a car from Japan. Before placing an order, it is necessary to fully understand the picture to make a smart purchase decision.

The following points are some of the main costs to consider when importing a car to Sri Lanka, which are explained below using our Cost Breakdown Calculator:

  • Vehicle Purchase Price

  • Shipping Costs

  • Marine Insurance

  • Import Duties and Taxes

  • Port and Clearance Charges

  • Registration Expenses

Many first-time buyers just look at the vehicle's price. Professional importers consider the cost of ownership, fuel economy, maintenance costs, and resale value. A slightly more expensive car may end up saving you money down the road.

To better understand your budget and make a more informed vehicle-buying decision, use our calculator before importing a vehicle from Japan. Understand your import costs and purchase with peace of mind.

SAT Japan vs Local Japanese Car Dealers

Many people look at local Japanese car dealers and compare them with direct car imports from Japan when looking for a vehicle. Either choice is possible, but knowing the difference may help you decide.

The main benefit of importing directly from Japan is the choice of vehicles. Local dealers usually have vehicles pre-selected and imported, while direct sourcing provides access to thousands of vehicles from Japan's dealer networks and auction marketplaces.

Transparency is also a crucial element. Buyers can check vehicle specifications, condition reports, mileage information, and available history when importing through SAT Japan. This can help build trust during the purchase process.

When buying directly from the manufacturer, you can also access newer models, rare trims, and fuel-efficient models that may not always be available in local inventories. This broad choice can be crucial for buyers seeking a particular model, color, or feature set.

Daihatsu MIRA ES

When my vehicle reached the port, I felt relieved because everything was organized exactly as SAT Japan had explained. They kept me updated during every stage, from shipping to document preparation. That clear communication removed a lot of stress from the import process. The car itself is excellent for everyday driving. It is easy to handle, very fuel efficient, and the cabin feels fresh and comfortable. Considering the condition, I believe I received great value for my money. I appreciate how professional SAT Japan handled everything, and I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle through them in the future.

Toyota RAIZE

I purchased a Toyota Raize 2025 hybrid motor vehicle from SAT. I am very satisfied and happy to say that my team member Mr. Ryohei and Ms. Emika assisted me to get the vehicle to SL from the beginning to end via my Watsapp group chat and voice calls. Hence I was able to get my vehicle without any delays due to the help of them. As well as take this opportunity to Thanks Mr Suzuki(Team Manager) and as well as my special thanks to Mr.Suzuki and Ms.Emika who did a great job behind the scene on behalf of me.

Toyota RAIZE

This car gives a very fresh and modern feeling. Toyota Raize Hybrid looks sharp from front and feels premium compared to other small SUVs. When I drive it, pickup is smooth and acceleration feels quick for this size. One thing I really like is balance. The car stays stable even when speed goes higher. Steering response is also good, not too light and not too heavy. Buying from SAT Japan was actually a good decision for me. I checked many places before, but here I got better clarity. They explained every detail and helped me understand the condition before buying, which made a big difference. The interior is clean and practical, not over complicated. Also, a hybrid system helps save fuel a lot. For me, this car is a perfect mix of style and economy. I enjoy driving it every day.

Suzuki WAGON R

Honestly this car surprised me in good way. Suzuki Wagon R looks small but inside it feels bigger than expected. Head space is nice and sitting position is high, so driving feels easy and clear view on road. Engine is not powerful like big cars but for city it works perfectly. Very light steering and smooth movement in traffic. Parking also no headache at all. About SAT Japan, I didn’t face any big issue. They handled process quietly and things moved step by step without confusion. Not too much talking, just proper work. Fuel average is very good, that’s what I like most. For daily running this car makes life easy. Simple, smart, and useful.

Audi A3

Received my Audi A3 form Hambantota Port today. The Car is almost Brand New, just 55Km on the Odo Meter and in excellent condition. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but eventually was at ease when I saw the car on delivery it was just as advertised. Price and Shipping costs to Sri Lanka was perfect. There seemed to be a bit of a delay in the receipt of the Original documents and after many calls and emails, the docs arrived a bout 2 weeks after the car arrived at Port! Unfortunately I have got only 1 smart key and hope SAT Japan will arrange for the Spare Key soon. Best regards, Rohan E.Samuel Sri Lanka

Toyota SIENTA

I like companies that do not promise impossible things. SAT Japan explained both the strong points and the small imperfections before shipping my car. Because of that, there were no surprises after delivery. The Toyota Sienta is smooth, practical, and perfect for my daily family trips. I found one small stain on the rear floor mat, but cleaning it took only a few minutes. Everything else was in very good condition. The fuel economy is impressive and the engine feels healthy. I appreciate honest business more than fancy advertising, and SAT Japan proved they are a company customers can trust.

Toyota HIACE VAN

Many people told me importing a vehicle would be stressful, but my experience was the opposite. SAT Japan organized everything properly and even responded after the delivery when I had a few questions. That level of support made me trust the company. The Hiace is powerful, spacious, and suitable for transporting passengers comfortably. I noticed one tire has a little more wear than the others, so I may replace it soon, but this is normal maintenance for any used vehicle. Overall, I received excellent value for my money and I am pleased with both the van and the service.
