Durban has established itself as the undisputed hub for Japanese used vehicles in Southern Africa. As the busiest port in the region, it handles the majority of RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) vehicle shipments from Japan, making it the natural entry point for Japan-used stock.
Why Durban?
- Durban Harbour is the largest and busiest shipping terminal in sub-Saharan Africa
- Direct RORO shipping routes from Japan (Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya) arrive every 2–3 weeks
- Extensive customs and clearing infrastructure built for high-volume vehicle imports
- Well-established network of Japanese vehicle inspectors, auction houses, and exporters
- SACU membership means vehicles can move duty-free to Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, and Eswatini
The On-Shore Advantage
Every vehicle we sell is physically in Durban — already imported, inspected, and ready for export. This means no waiting 4–6 weeks for international shipping, no risk of damage during ocean transit, and no surprises about what you are getting. You can inspect the actual vehicle before committing to purchase.
