Importing an Infiniti


Looking to import an Infiniti to the Netherlands? Then you already know that import is the only route to a new example. Infiniti has stopped selling new cars in the Netherlands. The brand is, however, fully active in the United States, the Middle East and Japan, where the latest models are delivered without issue. A QX80, QX60 or Q50 Red Sport in a current version is simply not available at a Dutch dealer. If you want that car, you import it. At SCL Rotterdam, we handle that from A to Z.

Why import an Infiniti?

Infiniti left the European new car market, but the brand itself never stopped. In the US and the Middle East, new models are delivered as standard, sometimes with specifications and trim levels that were never available in Europe. Think of the QX80 with full V8 configuration, the Q50 Red Sport 400 with twin-turbo V6, or the QX55 in exclusive American Market specification. At the same time, second-hand Infinitis from Germany and Belgium are available at competitive prices, scarce in the Netherlands but well-priced elsewhere due to low original sales volumes. For anyone who wants to drive an Infiniti, import is the logical step.

Why choose SCL Rotterdam as your Infiniti importer?

Full service, everything under one roof

At SCL Rotterdam, we combine over 15 years of import experience with a passion for Japanese luxury and quality. Our service covers not just the shipping, but also the complete customs clearance, storage and any technical modifications in our own workshop. One point of contact, no surprises.

Experience with North American, Japanese and Middle Eastern imports

Depending on the model, Infinitis come from the US, Japan, the Middle East or elsewhere. We know the export procedures, the required documents and the technical modifications needed for European road approval. Read more about how we import vehicles.

Support with purchase and modifications

Have you not yet found your Infiniti? SCL Rotterdam offers professional purchase guidance. We help you find the right car and can arrange a check before it goes on transport. North American Infinitis require modifications for European roads, including lighting, rear fog lights and emissions documentation. Our workshop handles all of this expertly.

Cost of importing an Infiniti

Costs depend on the model, the country of origin and the services you choose. For an Infiniti from Germany or Belgium, import costs are low and the process is quick. For models from the US, Japan or the Middle East, more steps are involved. You can request a no-obligation quote for an exact price. Transparent and no hidden costs.

Transport options for your Infiniti

Container transport and Roll-on/Roll-off transport (Ro-Ro)

For an Infiniti from Europe, road transport by truck is often the most efficient option. For models from further away, we offer container transport and Roll-on/Roll-off transport. Ro-Ro is the standard option for North American and Japanese imports. Container transport offers extra protection for rare or high-value examples. We always recommend transport insurance, which we can arrange through our insurance partner.

Global ports and speed of delivery

We import vehicles from ports all over the world. Whether your Infiniti is coming from the US, Japan or the Middle East, we arrange the transport to Rotterdam. Our experience with these routes ensures your car arrives quickly and safely.

Advantages of SCL Rotterdam

Own storage facilities and fast customs clearance

We have our own facilities for safe storage and keep the entire customs process in-house. That makes the procedure significantly faster. Our full service package also includes Dutch registration and tax declaration, using a favourable calculation method to keep the tax liability as low as possible.

What to watch out for when importing an Infiniti

Conversion tips

North American Infinitis are built for the US market and differ from European specifications in several areas. Think of lighting, the absence of a rear fog light and different emissions documentation. Models from the Middle East sometimes have different specifications and climate settings. Our workshop carries out all necessary conversion to European standards, so your Infiniti can be registered without any issues.

Purchase inspection

Buying an Infiniti from abroad without an inspection is a risk. The condition of a vehicle cannot be assessed from behind a screen. Our specialists make sure you know exactly what you are buying before the car goes on the ship. Visit our purchase inspection page for more information.

Payment service

We also offer a payment service so you can handle the purchase of your Infiniti safely and without complications. This gives you extra certainty that the transaction goes smoothly.
