Carimport has a new design. Same advisors and the same calculator, rebuilt so every cost is easier to find. The previous site is still available.

Right-hand drive, no conversions

Import a car from Australia to Malaysia

The cars Japan never made, factory right-hand drive for Malaysia. We buy them direct, inspect in person, and itemise every cost before you commit.

Why we buy in Australia

Australia sells right-hand-drive cars the rest of the world never gets, and keeps the records to prove what they have been through.

01

Cars that exist nowhere else

Australia sells cars in factory right-hand drive that the rest of the world never gets.

The Mustang sold there is the first factory right-hand-drive Mustang in the model's history, and RAM and Silverado trucks are remanufactured to right-hand drive in Melbourne to factory standard. For Malaysia, Australia is the only honest source for them.

02

A four-wheel-drive nation

The best-selling vehicles in Australia are working four-wheel drives.

The Ranger was Australia's best-selling vehicle outright in 2025 and the LandCruiser is a national institution, so the used market runs deep in 4x4s and performance utes, many fleet-kept with full service records.

03

Condition you can verify

A federal register checks any Australian car by its VIN.

The PPSR shows outstanding finance, theft and write-off history for a few dollars, and state registers add the odometer trail. Australia also never salts its roads, so bodies stay clean.

04

Inspected in person, then shipped

No car is paid in full until an advisor has stood next to it.

We inspect the car with photos and videos, and complete the purchase only once it checks out. Then it ships from the nearest port to Port Klang, tracked at every stage until handover.

Not sure which route fits?

An advisor will say which one suits the car you have in mind.

Price it yourself, or ask us

The calculator is public and it does the same arithmetic your advisor does. Six fields off a listing and the landed cost for Malaysia comes back itemised, in about 30 seconds.

None of it is compulsory. If the fields look like work, an advisor runs the same calculation on any car you send and comes back with the itemised total.

  1. 01

    Pick the country

    It opens on Japan. Take the Australia tab and the shipping fees, the duty basis and the exchange rate all switch with it.

  2. 02

    Copy six fields

    Maker, model and vehicle type, the price in Australian dollars, the registration month and year. Use the advertised price before government charges.

  3. 03

    Read every line

    Leave Full Breakdown ticked and sign in with your phone number. The duty, the fees and our service fee come back as separate lines, not one number.

Questions about importing from Australia

Straight answers on cost, timing, eligibility and condition.

Duty, excise and SST are the biggest lines and they depend on the car's age, engine size and value. The calculator shows the cost price for your exact car in about 30 seconds, and your quotation itemises every line.

That depends on sailing schedules and clearance, so your advisor confirms the expected window in writing before you commit. The run covers shipping to Port Klang, customs clearance, AP approval, Puspakom inspection and JPJ registration, with WhatsApp updates at every milestone.

Used cars generally need to be under five years old to qualify for an AP permit, and cars over 35 years old can come in under the classic permit. Send us the model and your advisor confirms eligibility first.

Usually not yet. Most 1990s to 2010s muscle sits between the two rules: too old for the under-five window, too young for the 35-year classic permit. Each year another cohort becomes eligible, so ask your advisor about the exact build year.

Usually not. Australia is an expensive used market, and for ordinary cars Japan lands cheaper. You buy Australian for the cars that exist nowhere else in factory right-hand drive, with condition and history you can verify.

The federal PPSR check shows finance, theft and write-off history by VIN, state registers add the odometer trail, and an advisor inspects the car in person before full payment is made.

Yes. Browse Carsales or any Australian marketplace at your own pace, send us the link, and we verify the car, inspect it in person and return the full landed cost for Malaysia.
