Cost to import a car from Japan to Kyrgyzstan
Rates & rules last reviewed
Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country in Central Asia with a growing appetite for used Japanese cars, driven by their reliability and relatively affordable price points compared to new European alternatives. Getting a car from Japan to Kyrgyzstan means crossing multiple borders — typically ocean freight from Japan to a transit port, then overland through regional neighbours — so the transit route and inland freight cost are key parts of the landed-cost calculation. Our licensed team handles the full chain, from sourcing at Japan's USS auctions through to delivery within Kyrgyzstan. Because our detailed packet data for Kyrgyzstan is still being compiled, our licensed team confirms the exact, current import duties, tax rates and registration requirements for your car.

We source it from Japan's auctions
Using our licensed USS auction access, we find the right car, read its auction sheet and grade, and confirm actual condition before you commit to anything.
Pre-shipment inspection and documentation
We arrange a condition inspection in Japan and prepare all export and transit documents required for the multi-border route into Kyrgyzstan.
Ocean freight and overland transit
The car is shipped from Japan by sea to the nearest practical transit hub, then moves overland through the relevant border crossings. Our team manages every customs step along the route.
Import duties & taxes in Kyrgyzstan explained
Our detailed import-duty data for Kyrgyzstan is still being compiled. What is certain is that as a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Kyrgyzstan applies the EAEU Unified Customs Tariff for vehicles, alongside local VAT and potentially a recycling fee — structures similar in framework to neighbouring Kazakhstan. The exact rates, fee bands and registration charges depend on your car's engine size, age and customs value. Our team confirms the exact, current figure for your car.
