From Auction Floor to Your Driveway

A fully transparent, seven-step pipeline built on 20 years of Kenyan import expertise and direct access to Japan's auction network.

1
Enquiry & Landed Cost Quote

You share your target vehicle, budget and destination. We reply with a complete landed cost — purchase price, shipping, marine insurance, KRA duty estimate, and clearance fees. No hidden charges.

◆ Typical time: same day – 24 hours
2
Sourcing at Japanese Auctions

Our Saga team searches live listings at USS, TAA, JU and JAA auction houses, or pulls a matching unit from our own yard stock if already available.

◆ Typical time: 2–5 business days
3
Physical Inspection & Approval

Before any bid is placed, our team physically inspects the vehicle — engine, chassis, odometer, and auction grade sheet. Photos and the full report are shared for your sign-off.

◆ Typical time: 1–2 business days
4
Bidding & Purchase Confirmation

We bid on your behalf up to your approved maximum. Once won, we confirm purchase, settle payment with the auction house, and prepare the vehicle for export deregistration in Japan.

◆ Typical time: 24–48 hours after auction
5
Loading & Ocean Freight

The vehicle is loaded via RoRo or container at a Japanese port and shipped to Mombasa under full marine insurance cover. You receive the Bill of Lading and vessel tracking details.

◆ Typical transit: 4–8 weeks
6
Customs, KRA Duty & KEBS Inspection

Our Nairobi team clears the vehicle at Mombasa port — KRA duty assessment and payment, KEBS roadworthiness inspection, and all import documentation handled on your behalf.

◆ Typical time: 5–10 business days
7
NTSA Registration & Delivery

Once cleared, we handle NTSA registration and arrange delivery to your chosen location anywhere in Kenya — fully road-legal, plated, and ready to drive.

◆ Typical time: 3–5 business days
