1
車台番号 (Chassis Number)
Copy this full code including the hyphen. This is the official serial assigned by the factory during assembly.
2
初度登録 (First Registration)
Shows when the car was first registered in Japan (often in Japanese Era format like H24 or R03), which is later than the manufacture date.
3
銘板 (VIN Metal Plate)
On the car itself, this same number is stamped into the metal firewall/bulkhead in the engine compartment or driver door sill.
Manufacture Year (製造年) vs. First Registration (初度登録)
Crucial for Customs ClearanceUnderstanding the distinction between a car's actual manufacture date and its first Japanese registration date is the single most critical factor in preventing port customs impoundment, hefty age-penalty fines, or mandatory re-export when importing Japanese vehicles:
Legal Customs Baseline
製造年月
Manufacture Date
The exact calendar date the vehicle physically finished assembly and rolled off the factory production line in Japan.
- Binding: Used exclusively by customs worldwide for age limits.
- Source: Automaker factory databases & MLIT/JAMA records.
Japanese Road Tax Only
初度登録年月
First Registration
The date license plates were first issued and Japanese road tax/shaken inspection was completed for Japanese road use.
- Rejected: Most customs authorities reject this for age calculations.
- Timing: Typically 1 to 6+ months after manufacture.

What it represents
実質的な意味
|
The exact calendar day/month the car left the factory assembly line in Japan. | The date Japanese road tax was first paid and license plates issued. |

Official Japanese term

製造年月 (Seizō Nengetsu) / 製作年月 (Seisaku Nengetsu)

初度登録年月 (Shodo Tōroku) or 初度検査年月 (for Kei vehicles)

Where it is documented
記載・証明場所
|
Automaker internal production databases, JAMA/MLIT registry, Manufacturer Certificate of Origin, and KMC JAPAN Official Lookup. | Printed on Japanese 車検証 (Registration Certificate), Export Certificate (輸出抹消), and Japanese Auction Sheets (出品票). |
|
Timing difference
時期のズレ
|
Earlier date — this is the true baseline for the vehicle's physical age. | Typically 1 to 4 months after manufacture. For showroom, dealer stock, or year-end units, can be 6 to 12+ months later. |
|
Customs compliance
税関・輸入規制
|
Required Used by customs in Kenya, Australia, USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Uganda to calculate legal import age limits. | Not Accepted Most customs authorities and inspection agencies reject the registration date as proof of vehicle age if an age limit applies. |
|
Pre-shipment inspection
事前船積検査 (QISJ / JEVIC)
|
Inspecting agencies (QISJ, JEVIC, EAA, Bureau Veritas) verify the chassis against manufacturer records to issue age-compliance roadworthiness certificates. | Inspection agencies will downgrade the model year to the manufacture date on the export inspection certificate if discrepancy exists. |
|
Importer risk level
輸入時の法的リスク
|
Zero Risk: 100% compliant with destination country import age statutes. | Extreme Risk: Risk of port rejection, auction loss, heavy demurrage, or vehicle confiscation and crushing. |
Real-World Trap: The "Year-End Production Gap"
Consider a Toyota Harrier manufactured in Japan in November 2017, but first delivered and registered by a dealership in Tokyo in March 2018 (Heisei 30):
The Mistake:
The buyer reads
H30/3 (2018/03) on the Japanese auction sheet and assumes the car is compliant under an 8-year import age limit (e.g. Kenya) through 2026.
The Customs Reality:
Port customs and QISJ inspect the chassis number (
MXU...) against Toyota factory production records: the true manufacture date is November 2017. The vehicle exceeds the 8-year limit and is denied entry at port.
Always verify the chassis manufacture date with KMC JAPAN before placing auction bids.

オークションシートでは「車台番号」と記載されます。エンジンルームやドアのプレート、輸出書類にもあります。
異なります。車検証の初度登録は、工場出荷から1〜2か月後になることが多いです。
国内向けは型式＋シリアル（例: ZWR90-0247769）です。17桁VINは一部の輸出市場向けに後から付きます。
トヨタ、ホンダ、日産、マツダ、スズキ、ダイハツ、スバル、三菱、レクサスなど、データベースにある日本の車台型式です。
Many countries impose strict statutory limits on the age of imported vehicles: Kenya enforces a strict 8-year age maximum; Uganda permits vehicles up to 15 years; Tanzania applies punitive dumping excise duties on cars older than 10 years; Jamaica allows up to 5 years for passenger cars; and the United States and Australia permit classic and unrestricted personal imports under the famous 25-Year Rule. Our tool calculates your vehicle's exact eligibility status across all major markets.
Our system indexes official JAMA (Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) and MLIT production databases covering Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, and Hino from 1984 through the current production year.
