The closest real importer to the District

There is no shortage of websites that will sell a DC resident a car from Japan. There are very few you can drive to in half an hour. We're at 501 Church Street NE in Vienna, VA — a straight shot out I-66 or the Dulles Toll Road. Come by, talk through the car you want, and see who you're wiring money to.

For DC buyers that proximity is also practical after the car lands: we're local enough to actually help with the handoff instead of dropping a container at a terminal and wishing you luck.

Where your car lands

Your car lands at the Port of Baltimore — roughly an hour up the parkway, and one of the busiest vehicle ports on the East Coast. That's about as good as import logistics get in this country: your car comes off the ship an hour from your address instead of three time zones away.

Delivery in the District, realistically

Importing a car into DC has one wrinkle that has nothing to do with customs: getting a car carrier down a narrow street. Rowhouse blocks in Capitol Hill, Shaw, or Georgetown are not built for a nine-car hauler. We plan around it — smaller flatbed for the last leg, or a meet at a nearby lot with room to unload. Tell us the block and we'll sort it out before the truck is dispatched.

Titling in DC

We handle the entire import side — customs entry, import duty, port clearance — and US title service is included in our standard fees, so you receive the car with the title paperwork done.

Registration itself happens at DC DMV. Requirements vary by vehicle and change over time, so instead of guessing from a web page, call us at 703-249-9922 and we'll walk you through what your specific car needs.
