DIY Importing from Japan - any recent experiences

[Faz-n8om6]

Hiya, I found a car I want to import from Japan. It’s from a private individual.

Anyone got current experience of doing it yourself? Or if you recommend bypassing the hassle and going via an importing company what ballpark cost are we looking at?

It’s a Suzuki Swift 2016.

you'll need an agent in Japan to handle the export for you. I set up a business importing Japanese cars via the auctions, I can source and import a swift for you if you want, starts at £750 plus costs
