Details

Motorcycles restricted; documentation or permits may apply. Enforcement in Japan carries fines from JPY 100,000 to JPY 5,000,000 under Customs Law (Kanzeihō) Art. 110, Art. 111 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).

Documentation required

• Check destination requirements

Leaving with this item

Exporting a motorcycle from Japan follows the vehicle-export process — deregistration and export declaration, with destination import rules the harder constraint.

Practical advice

Personal-import requires destination age + emission + safety compliance. Permit + IDP from home country. See /vehicles/japan.
