We receive many enquiries from our customers from various countries if we can ship used trucks in CKD (Completely Knocked Down) or SKD (Semi Knocked Down) form from Japan.
Yes, we are happy to announce that we can undertake any jobs of delivering vehicles whether they are mini-trucks or 10-ton heavy trucks. In our workshop, our skilled mechanics can dissemble trucks and other vehicles, and we can pack the parts in a way desired by the customer. So what are the advantages of sending used Japanese trucks and other vehicles in CKD or SKD form?
One clear benefit is tremendous savings in the freight. We can even fit a 10-ton truck in a 40 ft container by dissembling some of its parts. Many of our customers in African countries and the Caribbeans can benefit from this service.
In many countries such as Philippines and Russia, customs tariffs are very high for fully assembled vehicles, whereas the customs duties for parts are relatively low. Many countries do not allow import of fully assembled trucks and cars, so the only option is to import the vehicle dissembled in parts and shipped in different containers. We also offer such service to our customers in these countries. We can also deliver the vehicles in “half cut” (also known as a “front clip”) form, where the used vehicle is cut in half, through the cab, just rear of the dash board. This is the best option where whole vehicles cannot be legally imported unless they meet EPA and DOT specifications.
We can assure you that it would be much easier to assemble the used trucks and other vehicles shipped by us in CKD or SKD form. in the pictures below, you can see an example of how we dismantle the trucks in our workshop to fit it in a 40 ft container.
