Jurojin JDM Imports helps Vancouver buyers import Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles directly from Japan — without the inflated pricing or limited selection found locally. We handle sourcing, inspection, export, shipping, and Canadian customs end-to-end. Vehicles are sourced to order based on your preferences, with eligibility confirmed before purchase.
After arrival, we guide Vancouver buyers through the British Columbia registration process, so there are no surprises.
We don’t operate like a used car lot — and that’s intentional. Vancouver clients work with us because we offer:
Avoid inflated Lower Mainland resale prices
Access vehicles not available locally
Import-to-order for specific trims, mileage, and condition
Experience working with Vancouver and Lower Mainland buyers
Transparent pricing before you commit
Our focus is long-term trust, not quick flips.

Importing a vehicle from Japan doesn’t need to be complicated.
We find clean JDM cars daily through Japan’s largest auction network.
Our team inspects the vehicle in person — photos, videos, auction sheet review.
We handle export, shipping, customs, and all paperwork end-to-end.
Your JDM arrives in Canada fully cleared. We then guide you through British Columbia registration steps before the vehicle is driven in Vancouver.

Every vehicle below was sourced from Japan, inspected in person, shipped, and delivered by our team. Here’s what you can expect when you import with Jurojin.
Vancouver buyers often ask about provincial requirements. Here’s what matters:
Your vehicle is confirmed eligible under Transport Canada import rules before purchase, so it can legally enter Canada without risk.
Vancouver registrations require a BC provincial inspection after arrival. This step confirms roadworthiness before plates can be issued.
All licensing and insurance in Vancouver is handled through ICBC once inspection is approved. Coverage and timelines vary by vehicle.
After inspection and ICBC approval, the vehicle can be registered and legally driven in Vancouver with no additional import steps.
We walk you through each step so there are no surprises.
Many Vancouver buyers choose to import instead of buying locally – and for good reason.
Importing from Japan allows you to:
You get exactly what you want — not what happens to be listed.

These are a few of our most commonly asked questions.
Yes. Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles are legal to import and own in Vancouver when they meet Canada’s federal import rules and British Columbia registration requirements.
At the federal level, vehicles must be 15 years or older from the month of manufacture to be legally imported into Canada. After import, vehicles registered in Vancouver must pass a BC provincial inspection and be registered and insured through ICBC.
We confirm federal import eligibility before purchase and guide Vancouver buyers through BC-specific registration steps after the vehicle arrives.
In most cases, importing a JDM vehicle to Vancouver takes approximately 6–10 weeks from purchase to arrival in Canada.
Timelines can vary based on auction availability, shipping schedules, and port processing, but we provide clear expectations and updates throughout the process so you always know where your vehicle is.
Yes. Right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles can be insured in Vancouver through ICBC, provided they meet provincial inspection and registration requirements.
Insurance approval depends on factors such as vehicle age, condition, and intended use. While coverage terms vary, RHD vehicles are legal and commonly insured in British Columbia once properly registered.
We help Vancouver buyers understand what to expect with ICBC before importing so there are no surprises.
No. We specialize in import-to-order sourcing rather than carrying local inventory in Vancouver.
This approach allows buyers to avoid inflated local pricing and limited selection, and instead choose vehicles based on condition, mileage, and specifications directly from Japan — not what happens to be listed locally.
Yes. We regularly source performance, collector, and niche JDM vehicles that are difficult to find locally.
Yes. All imported vehicles registered in Vancouver must pass a British Columbia provincial safety inspection before they can be registered and insured.
This inspection takes place after the vehicle arrives in Canada and confirms the vehicle meets BC’s safety standards. It is a required step for registration through ICBC.
We guide buyers through this process so it’s clear, straightforward, and handled at the right time.
Yes – and this is one of the most important parts of our process.
Before any vehicle is purchased, we confirm federal import eligibility and flag any British Columbia-specific considerations that could affect registration in Vancouver. This ensures you don’t commit to a vehicle that can’t be registered or insured locally.
This upfront verification is how we protect buyers and prevent costly mistakes.
