Open RHD parallel-import market. Cost is FRT plus TD examination, not an age ban.

Browse inventory Import rules Request a quote

Hong Kong is RHD. Parallel import of used Japanese cars is allowed. There is no 8-year ban. Transport Department vehicle examination and First Registration Tax (FRT) are the gates. FRT is high and class-based. Emissions and safety must meet Hong Kong standards.

KMC JAPAN ships on the short Japan–Hong Kong sea time. Get an FRT estimate from a Hong Kong importer before you bid — auction grade does not replace TD examination. No general Customs duty on private cars; FRT is the main levy.

No ban

No maximum age (FRT still applies)
