Importing Car Parts from Japan

Looking for a part that's hard to find outside Japan? EMDAWG JDM is based in Japan and Australia, so we can source car parts and other products in Japan and ship them to you in Australia or New Zealand.

What we can import

  • Genuine OEM parts for Japanese cars – Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki, Daihatsu and more
  • Used and hard-to-find JDM parts from Japanese auctions and parts stores
  • Aftermarket JDM parts and accessories
  • Collectables such as diecast models – see our importing reviews

We don't import whole cars. Some items can't be sent overseas (for example airbags, batteries and fluids) – we'll let you know if your item is one of them.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you need. Email us the part name, part number or a link, plus your car's make, model and year, and whether you're in Australia or New Zealand.
  2. We find it and quote. We check availability and condition and send you a quote for the item, shipping and our service fee before you pay anything.
  3. You approve and pay. Once you're happy with the quote, we buy the item for you.
  4. We check, pack and ship. We inspect the item, pack it securely and send it to your door with tracking.

Pricing – no hidden fees

Every quote shows exactly what you're paying for:

  • The item: the price in Japan, plus any shipping within Japan to us.
  • Our service fee: 15% of the item price, minimum A$35. This covers finding the part, checking fitment, buying it and inspecting it.
  • Packing & handling: A$10 per box, covering boxes, padding and tape so your parts arrive safely.
  • International shipping: charged at our discounted business rates with Japan Post, DHL or ECMS Express. We compare carriers for every box.

Our import service is provided by Rees Solutions, our Japan-based partner business run by the Emdawg team. Your quote and invoice come from Rees Solutions, and no GST is added to the service fee or packing charge.

Yen prices are converted to Australian dollars at the day's exchange rate plus a small 3% currency buffer, which covers exchange rate changes and payment fees between quoting and buying.

Example: a part that costs ¥30,000 in Japan (about A$278) has a service fee of about A$41.70, plus A$10 packing and shipping. A ¥5,000 part (about A$46) has the minimum fee of A$35.

Our shipping rates save you money. DHL's published 2026 rate for an 18 kg box from Japan to Australia is over ¥100,000 including fuel surcharge. With our business rates, the same 18 kg box to Melbourne costs about ¥25,600 (around A$235).

Good to know

  • Import duty and GST may apply when the item arrives in Australia or New Zealand, depending on the item and its value.
  • Delivery time depends on where the item is sourced and the shipping method – we'll give you an estimate in your quote.
  • Used parts are sold as described in the quote. Please check fitment with us before you buy.
  • Buying several items? We combine and repack them into one box where possible to save on shipping.
