of a sale between Miki Seiki Co., Ltd. and a customer in New
Zealand. Example of a sale between Miki Seiki and a foreign
customer To help our customers understand the process of purchasing
a vehicle in Japan and importing it to their respective countries,
we have provided a case study below. |
| Mr. Smith was interested
in purchasing a vehicle and decided to find his next vehicle
through the internet. He came across the Miki Seiki homepage
(www.miki-seiki.com)
and sent an inquiry to request access to the list of vehicles
available for sale. Shortly after, he received an email that
provided him with a username and password. Mr. Smith logged
into the homepage and saw a vehicle that he was interested in.
He then contacted Miki Seiki and made further inquiries. After
receiving a response and reviewing the details, he then decided
to purchase the vehicle. He sent another email to make an offer
for the vehicle. |
| The offer was accepted and
a sales invoice was issued by Miki Seiki on 21 March, 2003.
Mr. Smith made the payment and then faxed the customer bank
receipt on 24 March, 2003. The vehicle was then transported
to the port on 29 March, 2003. The ship disembarked Japan on
9 April, 2003 and headed towards New Zealand. Miki Seiki then
sent the Bill of Lading, de-registration papers and all necessary
documents via the EMS delivery service on 11 April, 2003. Upon
the shipfs arrival, Mr. Smith paid the shipping freight of NZ$1,100
and handled the customs clearance in New Zealand. . |
| So why did Mr. Smith
purchase a vehicle all the way in Japan? Price was the main
factor. Generally, used vehicles from Japanese manufacturers
are priced much cheaper in the home market of Japan. Export
of used vehicles in Japan is quite common. Countries such as
Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are ideal because
of the similarities of having right-handed driven vehicles.
Mr. Smith benefited in both price and service. Miki Seiki Co.
Ltd. has the experience and expertise in selling vehicles abroad. |
