Importify Cars
Southern Africa · via Port of Durban

JDM Importer for South Africa

For ITAC permit-holders we ship RoRo from Auckland into Durban, for returning residents and collectors bringing eligible vehicles home. Confirm your permit category first; we'll handle everything on the New Zealand side.

Importify Cars is a New Zealand vehicle exporter. We source, verify and ship Japanese performance cars from the deepest JDM pool outside Japan to buyers across South Africa. New Zealand imported Japan's best for thirty years: Skyline GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s, Evos and Type Rs with English-language ownership history, NZTA odometer records, and the option of a physical inspection before you commit, none of which a Japanese auction grade sheet gives you.

Importing to South Africa: what to know

  • South Africa tightly restricts used-vehicle imports. An ITAC import permit is generally limited to returning residents, immigrants and qualifying vintage or collector vehicles. Confirm your permit position first.
  • For permit-holders we handle the NZ side end to end: sourcing, verification, export paperwork and the RoRo booking to Durban.
