Can I import a 2010 March ride? Strictly speaking it is past the 8-yr rule, plus there's some maneno on registration year and YOM, someone kindly clarify


You can import 2010 models up to December 31. They check year of registration.


Thanks for the clarification - one more qstn.
What if the imported car( Nov 2010) arrives in Kenya in Jan 2018? What happen in such cases

it wont be allowed it. shall be in breach of the 8 years rule. they consider the date it arrives in kenya not the date of purchase.

I think they may consider when it got shipped out/when the vessel left port of departure.
If it takes like 3 months to arrive due to vessel breakdown or transshipment issues, they may waive all the penalties.
But I guess one would need a lot of paperwork.

Anyone with experience with any of these Japanese car dealers: Be Forward, Papera and IBC?
I have brought in several cars through SBT, but have no experience with these other 3.
I find Be Forward to be very cheap, are the cars good quality?

Indeed, Beforward have cheap cars most of the time especially non Toyotas. I have bought 3 cars from them and they were generally ok. Shipping was abit slow though.

Tradecarview is not an exporter per se..its a portal for exporters to advertise themselves..that's my understanding..

Hi Takeshi,
I am with JPCTRADE. You are welcome to register online. After registering, you can have a look and we will assist you in answering any questions you may have. Thank you.


On your comment, I have been looking at some cars on auction at JPCTRADE and analysing what the auction sheet says. I'm finding some discrepancy. The comment behind the score reflected in the auction sheet does not harmonize with the actual mileage reflected on the same. I'm using the provided tips to make this conclusion. I've seen this over several cars and models. Why is that?
