1) SASTRAD accepts payment in any currency by T.T. (Telegraphic Transfer) to our bank account in Japan.

1) A deposit is necessary before SASTRAD will commence with purchasing or bidding at auction on units on the Clients behalf.

2) The deposit is 80,000 Japanese Yen (JPY) for vehicles under 2,000,000 JPY, and 200,000 JPY for units over 2,000,000 JPY. The deposit amount will increase by 100,000 JPY thereon by 1,000,000 JPY increments.

3) After remitting the funds, SASTRAD may ask you to fax a copy of the T.T. transaction form immediately. SASTRAD will then begin sourcing units once our bank has confirmed the Clients remittance.

4) Should the Client make more than 1 bid at auction without success, and thereafter request the deposit to be refunded, an auction bidding fee of 2000yen for each bid will be deducted from the refundable deposit.

The winning bid's invoice will provide the Client with the banking details, invoice amount, any credits to their account and payment due date. Once receiving this invoice from SASTRAD, the Client must remit the amount stated on the invoice within 48 hours.

    As of January 1st 2009 our fees are 90,000yen/car for export, or 70,000yen for cars staying in Japan. For a container of mini trucks, each truck fee is 70,000yen. SASTRAD is an export company that represents and acts on behalf of our clients who want used cars and trucks from Japan. SASTRAD acts in a non-bias manner regarding auction houses or dealers when searching for the best vehicle for our clients.

    SASTRAD is able to find the right vehicle for our client's orders, regardless of what auction or dealer it comes from in Japan. If the potential vehicle is not in stock, SASTRAD can still get the given vehicle. Because SASTRAD acts on the client's behalf at auctions, SASTRAD will show you what is available regardless of price. Remember also that you'll also have to pay for shipping your vehicle. Our fees are compared with what our competition is charging and are somewhat lower. All our prices are in Japanese yen, and so is our fee. Please contact us about our fee structure and to discuss your needs.

Service Fees Include:

1. Bidding at auction on your behalf. Since the auctions charge us a fee to bid, and even on a winning bid, we pay for that.
2. Arrange for the inland transportation to take the vehicle from the auction to either a port of discharge or our yard for container packing.
3. De-registration of the vehicle in Japan.
4. Arranging for any necessary inspections before exporting. This is particularly important for many countries, as they will not allow a vehicle to enter if it has not been inspected. We do not pay for the actual inspection costs, but will let you know the costs.
5. Arrange for shipping and make sure the vehicle gets on a ship to your country. We do not pay for the actual shipping costs.
6. All the necessary documents (inspection, shipping, ownership) delivered to the owner/notifying party.

Service Fees DO NOT include:

1. Japanese tax, road tax or recycle tax that may be remaining on the car when bought at auction.
2. Shipping insurance is an option but must be requested by the client. Insurance is not automatically placed on vehicles.
3. Extra storage fees due to a delay in shipping. Normally the shipping company will grant 1-month free storage. In the case of some tight shipping schedules, there may be a longer wait. We'll let you know of this situation ahead of time or present an alternative.
4. Vehicle delivery (inland transportation) from an auction or dealer to our car yard or port of departure. We will do our best to let you know of the extra inland shipping charges before placing a bid.
5. All necessary inspections required for the destination country. We'll inform you of the charges, but they may change from time to time. A receipt from the testing authority can be provided.
6. Extra services such as translations of documents (such as an owner's manual) not otherwise required for exporting the vehicle.

By Container:

   SASTRAD will inform the client of the container loading and shipping schedule once the vehicle has been bought. SASTRAD will do its best to place the vehicle in a container as quickly as possible. Due to the nature of container loading, a container should not have less than 3 vehicles in it to make shipping more economical. As such, larger vehicles (around 15m3 and over) may have a longer waiting time as fewer can fit into a container. We will do our best to get vehicles out in a timely manner.

Individual Vehicle Inland Delivery (within Japan):

   SASTRAD will arrange, once the Client's vehicle has been won at auction, for inland transportation (delivery) to either the port of discharge or SASTRAD's yard for container loading. This inland transportation is the expense of the Client, and the Client should verify with SASTRAD of the amount. SASTRAD does its best to inform the Client beforehand, but is not responsible for payment of inland transportation should the said cost not be agreeable to the Client.

The Client should be mindful that there are other charges to individual RO-RO shipping. There is always a port fee that is no less than 15,000yen. There may be other expenses charged by Japan Customs

1) SASTRAD will send to you the required documents (bill of sale, export certificate and its English translation, bill of lading, etc.) by EMS (Express Mail Service) within 5 business days after payment for shipping has been received from the Client.

2) SASTRAD will not be held responsible for any changes in the name of the vessel, shipping dates, payment claim(s), etc caused by the Shipping Company. Nor will SASTRAD be held responsible for any delays caused by the Customs Department in the importing country (i.e. final destination of arrival).

1)  In the case of shipping, insurance is optional and must be requested by the client. This insurance is on the vehicle while it is shipped until it reaches the Clients desired port. This insurance only covers the total loss of the vehicle. In the case of requesting insurance it is the Clients duty to inform the staff at SASTRAD prior to the unit being shipped that insurance is to be placed on the unit (a insurance fee will be incurred by the Client).

2)  Since container shipping has only "total loss" insurance available, the Client may wish to take out their own insurance to cover for damage incurred while the vehicle is in transit. This is up to the Client to investigate and purchase and not SASTRAD's responsibility

   An agreement can be cancelled after SASTRAD has made a successful bid. However, the deposit is forfeit, with no exceptions.
