How it works

Our Import Process

Six stages, one coordinator. You receive documents and updates at every handoff, from auction to handover.
  1. Step 01

    Source Your Vehicle

    We source from trusted auction houses in Japan (USS, TAA, JAA), UAE (Dubai), UK, and other markets. Share your requirements and budget — we handle the rest.

  2. Step 02

    Purchase & Pre-Shipment Inspection

    Once your vehicle is identified and purchased, we arrange a pre-shipment inspection to confirm condition and compliance.

  3. Step 03

    Freight Booking & Shipping

    We book RoRo or container shipping, prepare all export documentation, and provide you with a Bill of Lading and estimated arrival date.

  4. Step 04

    Mombasa Port Handling & Transit

    We coordinate port clearance, handling, and secure transit transport of your vehicle from Mombasa Port through Kenya to the Uganda border.

  5. Step 05

    Uganda Customs Clearance

    Our licensed clearing agents process your vehicle through URA — computing duties, managing documentation, and coordinating release.

  6. Step 06

    Delivery

    The vehicle is delivered in Kampala or any other preferred location across Uganda. A final handover is completed with all necessary delivery documentation.
