๐Ÿ”จ
03 Auction Bidding Rules

When you request us to bid on a vehicle at a Japanese auction, the following rules apply:

  • You must provide a maximum bid amount before the auction takes place
  • Once a bid is placed on your behalf, it is legally binding โ€” you cannot cancel or withdraw your bid
  • If your bid wins, you are obligated to complete the purchase
  • If the vehicle does not reach your maximum bid, no purchase is made and no charge is applied
  • Negotiations after an unsold auction carry a higher commission (approximately 2x standard rate)
  • We are not responsible if a vehicle is withdrawn by the seller before or during bidding
  • Auction results (Bought, Sold, Unsold, Removed) are final and beyond our control
โš ๏ธ Placing a bid is a legal commitment. Do not submit a bid unless you are fully prepared to complete the purchase at that price.
๐Ÿ’ด
04 Payments & Pricing

All prices are quoted in the agreed currency at the time of purchase. The total cost may include:

  • Vehicle purchase price (auction hammer price or stock price)
  • Japanese auction house fees and taxes
  • Dream JDM Empire service / commission fee
  • Domestic transport in Japan to the port
  • Export documentation fees
  • Shipping (freight) charges
  • Marine insurance (optional but recommended)

A deposit or full payment may be required before we proceed with bidding or shipping. All payments must be received and cleared before the vehicle is shipped.

๐Ÿ“Œ All prices are subject to change based on exchange rates, auction fees, or shipping costs. We will notify you of any significant changes before proceeding.
๐Ÿšข
05 Shipping & Delivery

We offer RoRo (Roll-on Roll-off), container, and break-bulk shipping options to over 150 countries. Estimated shipping times are provided as a guide only and are subject to:

  • Port congestion and vessel schedules
  • Weather conditions and force majeure events
  • Customs clearance delays at the destination port
  • Public holidays in Japan or the destination country

Dream JDM Empire is not liable for any delays caused by shipping companies, port authorities, or customs agencies. Risk of loss or damage transfers to the buyer once the vehicle is loaded onto the vessel.

We strongly recommend purchasing marine insurance to protect your vehicle during transit.

๐Ÿ”
06 Inspection & Vehicle Condition

All vehicles sourced from Japanese auctions come with an official auction sheet which grades the vehicle's condition. We provide this information transparently to all buyers.

  • Auction grades are assigned by independent auction inspectors โ€” not by Dream JDM Empire
  • We are not responsible for undisclosed defects not reflected on the auction sheet
  • Pre-shipment inspection is available upon request for an additional fee
  • Minor wear consistent with age and mileage is expected and is not grounds for complaint
  • Vehicle descriptions are based on information available at the time of listing
๐Ÿ“‹ It is the buyer's responsibility to understand auction grading before placing a bid. Please refer to our Auction Grading guide for full details.
โ†ฉ๏ธ
07 Returns & Refunds

Due to the nature of international used vehicle transactions, our refund policy is as follows:

  • Once a vehicle has been purchased at auction or from stock, the sale is final and non-refundable
  • Service fees paid to Dream JDM Empire are non-refundable once the service has been initiated
  • If we are unable to source a vehicle that matches your requirements, a full refund of any advance payment will be issued
  • Shipping fees are non-refundable once the vehicle has been dispatched
  • Disputes regarding vehicle condition must be raised within 7 days of delivery with supporting photographic evidence
โš ๏ธ We strongly advise all buyers to review the auction sheet, request inspection reports, and seek clarification before confirming any purchase.
๐ŸŒ
08 Import Regulations & Customs

It is the buyer's sole responsibility to ensure the vehicle can be legally imported into their country. Dream JDM Empire provides general information as a guide only.

  • You must verify age restrictions, emission standards, and left/right-hand drive regulations in your country
  • All import duties, taxes, and customs fees at the destination are the buyer's responsibility
  • We are not liable if a vehicle is held, seized, or rejected by customs authorities
  • We provide standard export documentation but cannot guarantee customs clearance
  • Import regulations vary by country and may change โ€” always check with your local authorities
๐ŸŒ Dream JDM Empire will not issue refunds for vehicles that are held or rejected by customs due to buyer's failure to verify import eligibility.
