Vehicle Sourcing
Vehicles identified against your requirement, not against a stock list.
Sourcing begins with a specification. We work from the model, grade, specification level, quantity and destination market you set, then identify vehicles available in the Japanese market that meet it.
Where a requirement cannot be met through standard availability, we continue looking — including vehicles that become available through the Japanese trade rather than only through public listings.
Covers
- Model and grade requirements
- Specification and equipment level
- Quantity and recurring volume
- Target market and compliance needs
- Budget and commercial parameters
- Timeline and delivery expectations
Vehicle Trading
Transactions structured both within Japan and between Japanese sources and international buyers.
G.H.A. International sits between the Japanese market and the international buyer. We handle the commercial negotiation of the vehicle transaction and keep both sides of the trade working from the same agreed terms.
We also trade within Japan itself. That domestic activity is not a sideline: it is where our read on availability, grade and price comes from, and it is what separates sourcing from searching.
Terms are set out clearly before confirmation: vehicle identity and condition as documented, price basis, and the export arrangements that follow.
Covers
- Domestic trading within Japan
- Cross-border trading for international buyers
- Commercial negotiation and terms
- Vehicle identification and confirmation
- Documented condition information
- Price basis and payment terms
- Transaction coordination
Export Support
The paperwork that allows a vehicle to leave Japan, handled properly.
Exporting from Japan is a documentation exercise before it is a logistics one. We coordinate export-related processes and documentation with the Japanese authorities and the parties involved in the transaction.
Buyers receive the export documentation set required for the vehicle to be cleared and registered in the destination market.
Covers
- Export documentation coordination
- Export certificate and de-registration
- Invoice and shipping documentation
- Destination-specific document requirements
- Handover of the complete document set
Logistics Coordination
Moving vehicles from Japanese ports to the agreed destination.
Vehicles are consolidated and moved to the appropriate Japanese port of loading, then shipped through roll-on/roll-off or container services according to the vehicle, the volume and the destination.
We coordinate with shipping and forwarding partners and keep you informed of the movement from loading through to arrival.
Covers
- Port of loading selection
- Ro-Ro and container shipping
- Consolidated and full-load movements
- Sailing schedules and vessel booking
- Arrival coordination at destination
B2B Procurement
Recurring supply for businesses that cannot afford to guess.
For dealers, distributors and importers buying on a repeating basis, procurement is about consistency. We work to standing requirements so that each consignment matches what came before it.
Volume requirements are planned ahead against your retail or distribution calendar rather than sourced reactively.
Covers
- Standing sourcing requirements
- Multiple-unit and mixed consignments
- Volume planning against your calendar
- Repeatable specification standards
- Long-term supply relationships
Custom Sourcing
For requirements that do not appear in anyone's catalogue.
Some requirements are specific: a particular grade, a rare specification, a limited production model, or a vehicle that simply is not available in the open market at the time you need it.
We take these requirements into the Japanese trade, search beyond standard availability, and report back honestly — including when the answer is that nothing suitable has been found.
Covers
- Rare and limited specifications
- Single-unit specialist sourcing
- Specific colour and trim combinations
- Non-standard or specialist vehicles
- Extended search across the Japanese trade
Service Questions
Practicalities
- Do you sell to private individuals?
- G.H.A. International works with business customers — dealers, distributors, importers and automotive businesses. Our sourcing process, commercial terms and documentation are built around trade rather than single retail purchases.
- Is there a minimum order quantity?
- There is no fixed minimum. Requirements are assessed individually, and a single specialist vehicle can be sourced where the case for it is clear. Recurring procurement is planned around your volume rather than a published threshold.
- Can you source a specific model that is not currently available?
- Yes. Custom sourcing exists precisely for this. We take specific requirements into the Japanese trade and search beyond standard availability, then report back on what is and is not achievable.
- How is the vehicle condition communicated?
- Condition is documented with the vehicle information supplied at the review stage, including the details recorded in the Japanese market. Nothing is presented as certain that has not been documented.
- Which markets do you ship to?
- We support the international movement of vehicles from Japan to business customers and automotive partners in overseas markets. Specific destination requirements — documentation, compliance and shipping route — are confirmed for each requirement.
- How long does the process take from inquiry to shipment?
- Timelines depend on the requirement, availability and sailing schedules. Once a requirement is reviewed, we set out the expected stages and the realistic timeline for sourcing, preparation and shipment.
- How do I start a business inquiry?
- Send your requirement through the inquiry form. Include your company, destination market and the vehicles you are looking for. Our team reviews the requirement and responds with the appropriate sourcing and export options.
