FOB
Vehicle price up to the agreed Japanese port of loading.
Shipping Information
Shipping from Japan, explained clearly.
Shipping depends on the vehicle, destination country, selected port, carrier availability and current route conditions.
Important
Route and freight subject to confirmation.
NTC does not copy competitor freight prices. Current freight must be confirmed for the selected vehicle, destination and port.
FOB + Freight
Know what is included before you compare prices.
Quote
Freight, insurance, inspection and destination costs must be confirmed separately where applicable.
Shipping Methods
The right method depends on the route.
RoRo Shipping
Roll-on/Roll-off shipping may be available when a vehicle can be driven onto the vessel and the route, port rules and schedule support it.
Container Shipping
Container shipping may be used when RoRo is not suitable, when the route requires it, or when loading and destination handling are quoted for the shipment.

FOB explained
FOB is the vehicle price up to the agreed Japanese port of loading. Freight and destination charges are separate unless NTC confirms otherwise in writing.
Destination port selection
Select the destination country first, then choose a valid port. Landlocked destinations may use clearly labelled gateway ports in neighbouring countries.
Marine insurance
Insurance may be available or required depending on route and shipment terms. If it is not confirmed, it should be treated as quote required.
Inspections
Some destinations may require inspection before export or arrival. Requirements vary by country and vehicle type.
Shipping schedules
Schedules can change because of vessel availability, port congestion, weather or carrier updates. Transit times should be treated as guidance, not a guarantee.
Import rules
Destination-country import rules, taxes and registration remain the buyer's responsibility unless NTC separately agrees to handle a specific item.
Destination Costs
Local charges vary by country.
These items are normally handled by the buyer or local clearing agent unless NTC specifically agrees otherwise.
Destination port charges
Customs clearance
Import duties and taxes
Local registration or roadworthiness requirements
Local transport from the port
Clearing agent fees where used
