NZ to Japan
 

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to ship my bike from New Zealand to Japan.

NZ Express owes me money which I could apply towards the cost. They ship, but they're not a freight company (at least that's how emails seem). Could someone explain how to get a bike from NZ to Japan?

I've got a crate lined up in Auckland, thanks to fellow HU folks Richard and Lisa. Still trying to figure out how to just pay money instead of getting a carnet since it'd be cheaper for a cheap bike.

Who's a good freight company? Anyone know what I have to do to get it registered in Japan?

I know some people who used Nippon Express a couple years ago and seemed satisfied with the service.
Service in Japan is less than desirable (too big to be personal)

Registering:
You need and address and need to go through the alien registration process to get a legal address. Then you need to have it inspected, pay road taxes, and insure it.
I thought you were going to temporarily import, not register in Japan...
This topic has been covered before.

I sent you an email. I'm thrown off by temp import and visitor information.
