Safe Transport by Sea

For safe transport by sea, your Toyota is securely fastened. You have the choice between container transport and Roll on-Roll off transport (Ro-Ro). With Ro-Ro, the car is shipped on a special ship deck, which is a common option, especially from Japan. In terms of cost, container transport, particularly from America, is often the most affordable. Additionally, you can also arrange suitable transport insurance with SCL.

Complete Customs Clearance and RDW Inspection

Importing a Toyota into the Netherlands involves a lot of paperwork and arrangements. SCL Rotterdam takes care of this entirely for you. We handle the entire customs clearance and BPM declaration. Moreover, we calculate the BPM in advance using a cost-effective calculation method, so you pay a low BPM.

Popular Toyota Models and Transport Options

SCL Rotterdam specializes in importing all Toyota models, including the Toyota Sienna, Supra, Aygo, Tundra, Avalon, and AE86. You can also rely on us for larger vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser, Alphard, Highlander, Tundra, Estima, RAV4, or the Vellfire.

From Japan, we primarily import models like the Supra. Popular models from America include the Landcruiser, RAV4, 4-Runner, and FJ. Be aware that cars from these countries often lack EU type approval. Additionally, the BPM can sometimes be a question mark because the cars are not always delivered in Europe. Our experience and expertise ensure that these issues are smoothly resolved.

What to Consider When Importing a Toyota?

EU Type Approval: Cars from America and Japan often lack EU type approval. Therefore, this can affect the BPM.
BPM Calculation: The BPM is not always clear in advance because the cars may not have been delivered in Europe. We ensure a cost-effective calculation.
Conversions Outside the EU: When importing from outside the EU, modifications may be necessary, such as installing a fog light. For Japanese cars, the fog light must be moved from right to back.

Additional Services

Take advantage of our additional services such as purchase inspection and payment service. In Japan, many cars are offered through large auction houses, which often also arrange shipping. We provide comprehensive purchase guidance, including inspection of the offered vehicles, so you can make an informed choice.

At SCL Rotterdam, you get everything under one roof: from clearance to registration. But also purchase guidance on location or applying modifications in our workshop. We offer the complete package. Interested? Check out our purchase inspection page or request a quote now to calculate the costs.
