Importing a car from Japan to Sri Lanka: common questions

How much does it cost to import a car from Japan to Sri Lanka?
We quote the landed (CIF) cost at Sri Lanka: the car's FOB price in Japan, ocean freight to the port, marine insurance (1.5% of the FOB price, at least $45), in one figure. Ask for any car's price on WhatsApp and we send it. Import duty, taxes and port charges in Sri Lanka are not included: Sri Lanka's customs authority sets them, and your clearing agent pays them at the port.
How long does shipping from Japan to Sri Lanka take?
About 20 days at sea from Japan to Colombo (15 to 27 days, depending on the vessel and the sailing). Allow one to three weeks before departure for inspection and booking space on a vessel.
Is there an age limit on cars imported to Sri Lanka?
Yes. Sri Lanka allows cars up to 3 years old, so 2023 models and newer. This page lists only cars that meet the limit, and a car's own page warns you when it is too old for Sri Lanka.
Do cars for Sri Lanka need a pre-shipment inspection?
Not for cars landed at Colombo, so there is no inspection fee in the landed price.
