How to Buy an Imported Car Through FameWheels: Japan Import Explained
Numerous Pakistanis do not find their dream car that is available at Pakistan showrooms. Many prefer to import from other countries. The auction system there uses open bookkeeping, and each car is accompanied by an auction sheet that lists the grade, mileage and repairs done to the car. Here is how importing works, and what FameWheels adds.
So what does FameWheels have to offer Japan Imports?
According to FameWheels, it offers dealer auctions available to its local team. It offers a professional inspection prior to bidding, a shipping rate billed as the best rate, and full bid handling, paperwork and delivery services.
What Rules are there which you should know?
This is included as rules have changed this year, please look at the current position. SRO 61(I)/2026 ended Personal Baggage scheme for used cars in Jan 2026, retaining only the Gift and Transfer of Residence schemes. In the schemes, the age of the car from the date of manufacture should not exceed 3 years or more.
The regulatory responsibility will be reduced for commercial imports, from 40% to 30% for FY2026-27. The 5-year-old commercial used imports limit was also reported to have come to an end in July 2026.
Why is the Auction Sheet So Important?
An auction sheet check can be used to uncover the hidden accident damage and to correct awarded mileage. As the stock matures, the grade and a true mileage record become even more important. Ask for the original sheet and have it checked before you pay.
How Much Does an Imported Car Cost?
The big expense is duties and taxes. They’re based on engine size, age and type of vehicle and the big error they make is outbidding the vehicle’s import costs. Start with a landed price budget and then add the rest of the costs for registration, transfer, etc.
Is an Imported Car Financing Possible?
State Bank regulations limit bank auto financing for imported vehicles, so check your lender to see what they will repay under auto financing installment plans. If you are thinking about using FameLease, then inquire if the vehicle is eligible.
Conclusion
Imported cars offer greater range of selection, but can pay-off for the very careful buyer. Know the rules, check the auction sheet and determine the total cost prior to bidding. The end-of-the-day responsibilities are yours, but FameWheels can get you started.
