Auction grades are the single most useful number on any inspection sheet. We break down exactly what each grade means for the condition of the car you're about to buy.
Importing a vehicle directly from Japan, Korea or the UAE is one of the smartest ways to get a well-maintained car at a price local dealers simply cannot match. But the process can feel intimidating the first time. In this article the SWYFT Enterprizes export desk walks you through it, step by step.
Japan's strict shaken inspection regime, low average mileage and meticulous owners mean used vehicles are often in remarkable condition. Korea offers refined, well-equipped SUVs and sedans, while the UAE is the place for low-mileage luxury 4x4s. Buying direct removes layers of middlemen — you pay the auction or dealer price plus a transparent service fee, nothing more.
Transparency is everything. Every SWYFT listing comes with the original inspection sheet, real photographs of every panel, and an all-in CIF quote before you commit a single dollar.
Browse our live stock and shortlist by make, body type, fuel and budget. Pay close attention to the auction grade and the inspection map: grades of 4 and above indicate a genuinely clean car. Our team can pull additional photos or a translated condition report on request.
Add these together and you have your CIF price — the figure you actually budget around. SWYFT quotes CIF up front so there are no surprises.
Once you approve the quote we issue a proforma invoice with our verified banking details. After payment is confirmed your vehicle is booked onto the next available sailing and you receive the booking reference.
You'll receive the Bill of Lading, Export Certificate, and Inspection Certificate — the core documents your customs broker needs. We track the vessel and keep you updated until it berths at your port.
