Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
Ensuring your vehicle meets all regulatory requirements before it sets sail.
Why is PSI Required?
Many countries mandate a Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) to verify the roadworthiness, mileage authenticity, and emission standards of used vehicles imported from Japan. Failure to obtain the required PSI certificate can result in severe penalties, rejection of entry at the destination port, or deportation of the vehicle.
