Shipping Methods for Japanese Auto Import Services
Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO)
RoRo shipping is one of the most cost-effective and straightforward options for importing vehicles from Japan.
Your vehicle is driven directly onto the vessel at the departure port and driven off once it arrives in Australia. This option is commonly used for standard passenger vehicles and commercial vehicle imports.
If you’re looking for a simple and efficient solution for importing car shipments from Japan, RoRo is often the best place to start.
Container Shipping
Container shipping offers additional protection and flexibility, especially if you’re shipping other cargo alongside your vehicle.
Your vehicle is secured inside an intermodal container for transport from Japan to Australia. This option is often preferred for higher-value vehicles, classic cars, or shipments requiring additional cargo space.

The right shipping method depends on your vehicle, budget, timeline, and shipping requirements.
