Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our heavy equipment export services

How long does it take to export heavy equipment from Japan?
From auction purchase to shipment, it typically takes 2-3 weeks. Ocean freight to destination ports takes 10-30 days depending on the region. Container loading may require additional days for dismantling.
What is the difference between RoRo and container shipping?
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) is when self-propelled machinery is driven directly onto the ship — it is more cost-effective. Container shipping is suitable for combining multiple smaller machines or shipping dismantled equipment.
How do I receive the inspection report?
Before shipment, our certified mechanics perform a thorough inspection. You will receive a comprehensive report with high-resolution photos and diagnostic videos via WhatsApp or email.
Can I participate directly in Japanese auctions?
Ark Trading acts as your official proxy bidder. We provide translated auction sheets, market price estimates, and bidding strategy recommendations with full transparency.
Do you handle customs clearance?
Yes. We provide one-stop support from Japanese export customs clearance to all necessary document preparation. We can also prepare paperwork tailored to your country's import regulations.
