For many Zambians, having a car is a mark of achievement, and whether it’s for personal or business use, it’s considered a major investment that requires making wise choices. One of the smart moves you can make is buying Japanese used cars for sale and importing them to Zambia. Secondhand vehicles are without a doubt more affordable than new units and are just as good and dependable. Here’s how to easily buy your Japanese car online from exporters such as tradecarview. 8 Steps The first step in the import procedure is to do a search on the car that you are interested in. You can specify the make, model, year, engine displacement, and price range. Zambia is a right hand drive country, so select that option so the search results will show only right hand-driven vehicles. When you have found the particular Japanese used car for sale to be imported, it’s time for step two: making an inquiry addressed to the dealer or seller. You can ask about the technical details of the car, its maintenance history, how long it was used, is it in need of repairs, is there a sound system installed, etc. Once you have the answers to your questions, you can proceed to the third step, which is to negotiate with the supplier. If you think the asking price is a bit high considering some technical aspects and shipping concerns, you can ask for a lower price. Negotiating is part of doing business so don’t hesitate to bargain with the seller! Once you and the seller have agreed on a price, step four is to request for a proforma invoice, where the pricing is detailed out. You will need this to do step five, which is placing your order. You will be sent the order confirmation and payment options so you can pay for your purchase (step 6 in buying Japanese used cars for sale and importing to Zambia). It is advised to choose a secure payment method. After payment, step seven is to wait for updates from the seller, which will include the confirmation of your payment and the schedule when your vehicle will be shipped. You will also receive a copy of the Bill of Lading and the Original Document which will be used during the clearing process at the port of destination. The last step is the most exciting part: receiving your order! Make sure to keep in touch with the exporter to verify when your vehicle will arrive at port. Import Regulations Vehicles to be imported into Zambia are shipped to Dar es Salaam or Durban, South Africa. You can choose a vehicle of any make, model, and year. Before leaving Japan it should undergo a roadworthiness inspection conducted by JEVIC, or the Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Center. A vehicle that passes inspection is issued a roadworthiness certificate. This is required for all Japanese used cars for sale before importing into Zambia. Import taxes apply, so be sure to check with the Zambia Revenue Authority for valuation details.
