Ultimamente ouve se rumores de que a inspeção pré-embarque para produtos importados, incluindo viaturas usadas, não é mais necessária.

Estão circulando algumas cópias de documentos supostamente emitidos pelas autoridades tributárias e alfandegárias de Moçambique atestando que a partir de Janeiro não é mais necessária a inspeção pré-embarque realizada pela Intertek.

A Intertek por outro lado diz não ter recebido nenhuma nota oficial das autoridades Moçambicanas e continua efetuando as inspeções normalmente para aqueles que assim a solicita.

No momento não há nenhuma informação oficial que tenha chegado a nós, mas já vemos vários importadores não solicitando a inspeção pré-embarque.

Esperamos que este impasse seja logo esclarecido.

As most of you already know, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) will be mandatory for all MA MB, MC, and NA class vehicles.

Simply, the passenger cars, people carriers, vans and trucks which GVM less than 3500kgs.

(Vehicles more than 20 year old will be excluded.)

This rule starts from 1^st of March, which needs to be NZTA boarder inspected in Japan before that, not at NZ side.

Easy to imagine, many dealer will rush to get them boarder checked within the dead line. Due to the agent’s capability, they set the deadline of order to get it inspected around 25^th of February.  (Please check with your shipping agents for more info) This means the non ESC vehicles needs to be carried in to the shipping agents yards, ready to get it boarder checked till then.

For more info, please ask your sales representative, and don’t miss out your last opportunity to bring the vehicles without ESC to New Zealand!!

In September 2019, typhoon has struck Japan and made disastrous damage through out the country.

That made tons of flooded vehicles selling at the auctions. Those cars are all gathered to one section, looked like the auction house made an “Flooded vehicle section”.

JAAI(Japan Auto Appraisal Institute) set a rule for flooded car that:
*A vehicle flooded above the interior floor.
*Can find an evidence of flood in multiple areas

Some of them are obvious, dirt all over the interior, of the rust/corrosion could be found on the metal parts of bad smell.

When there is a people try to get rid of those, there will always be a person who wants it. Reason? Because it is cheap of course.

One of the typhoon struck the Kyushu are, there were over 10,000 cars flooded, and 6,000 of them has cancelled the registration, got it off the road. Surprisingly, only 35% of those will be dismantled. Rest of the 4,000 were either repaired and/or sold as second hand cars.

Flooded vehicles will not be a good money if not entirely cleaned to clear the evidence. Comparing to accident vehicles, flooded vehicles are mostly an issue of the electrics, not exterior issues like bumpers or panels.

Those vehicles will mostly be sold to overseas market. Most of those vehicles were sold to Russia, Pakistan, UAE, Philippines.

In auctions, the most of them are sold as As is/accident or “Auction grade 1”

For flooded hybrid cars are dangerous and may cause power leak or short circuit. But it seems there is no possibilities of getting electrocuted.

For the markets where flooded vehicles are no good, please be careful, for those are okay, might be able to get it cheaper?

Что делает после покупки в аукционе?

Машину отправит в порт отправки прямо с аукциона. Длительность подготовки и отправления от 2 до 14 дней. А доставка необходимых документов для экспорта – в среднем через 7-14 дней из аукциона. Оформление документов для экспорта выполнит за 2-3 дня если нет проблема.

Заказ парома принимается только после того когда все докумкнты готовые на экспорт.

Почему так долго надо ждать? 

Перед загрузкой машиной в паром – надо растаможить в порте отправки в Японии. В паром загрузят много машин и время надо и поэтому обычно срок бронирования парома определится на 7 дней назад до отправки.

В среднем через 10-20 дней после покупки будет известна инфо о том, на каком пароме машина будет переводится. Среднее время между покупкой и отгрузкой во Владивостоке составляет 25-30 дней.
