Looking to import a clean, low-mileage Japanese used car to Cyprus? You’re in luck — Japan Car Direct now offers seamless direct shipping to both Limassol and Larnaca, the two Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) ports on this sun-drenched Mediterranean island. In this article, we dispel the myth that importing a used car to Cyprus is difficult and show you how straightforward it can be with our expert help. Recent imports include a Daihatsu Rocky, Toyota RAV4, Yaris, and Corolla Cross — all in excellent condition and with low mileage.
Key Highlights for Importing to Cyprus:
– RoRo shipping is available to both Limassol and Larnaca, making delivery flexible and efficient.
– Cyprus allows Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles, just like Japan, so most JDM cars are compliant.
– Used vehicles must be less than 5 years old, but our inventory in Japan meets this requirement easily.
– Our team guides you through all necessary paperwork, including the P17 form, EORI number, registration documents, and purchase invoice.
– We assist with Import Duty and VAT calculations to ensure you’re never caught off guard by surprise fees.
– Popular models shipped include the fuel-efficient Yaris, rugged Daihatsu Rocky, reliable Toyota RAV4, and the modern Corolla Cross.
Whether you’re in Nicosia, Limassol, or Larnaca, you can self-import a high-quality Japanese used car with full transparency and guidance. We’ve helped Cypriot customers import vehicles that are nearly new, rust-free, and in excellent condition — shipped directly from Japan using cost-effective RoRo services.

We have imported a number of good, low mileage, used cars from Japan to Cyprus in recent months and I’d like to share them with you. And I’d like to dispel the myth that importing a used car to Cyprus is difficult to impossible. Here at Japan Car Direct we have been doing it, so you can, too. Our most recent used car imported to Cyprus is this super clean, low mileage (Only 39,176 km / 24,342 miles on him, guys. Love it!) white Daihatsu Rocky.
He’s on his way to Larnaca Port on the south coast of Cyprus and, although Larnaca is smaller than Cyprus’s other major port at Limassol, it does have Roll On / Roll Off (RoRo) car carrier import service. Yeah!
So to all you guys asking: “Can I ship a used car RoRo from Japan to Larnaca in Cyprus?” I can tell you: “Yes! You are clear to go.” And if you ask me: “Can I ship a used car from Japan to Limassol in Cyprus?” I can also reply: “Buddy, you double clear to go.”
And then if you ask me: “But what about documents? It’s really complex, right? And taxes, they are a nightmare, right?”
No. It’s not that bad at all. In addition to the Daihatsu Rocky I showed you above, we’ve recently shipped this very nice, super clean and super low mileage Toyota Rav4 to Limassol, and this delightful happy little Yaris, too.
By the way, the name “Yaris” comes from “Charis”, the Greek goddess of charm and beauty and, this should put a smile on the faces of our Greek Cypriot customers, the Yaris car was designed by the famous Greek car designer, Sotiris Kovos.
The Yaris certainly put a smile on my face when I drove one from Narita Airport back home to Gotemba the day we returned to Japan from the UK. My brother-in-law arranged a rental car for us and I recall how great I found that little machine to be: It swallowed all our luggage, and was a delight to drive, everything in the right place and a happy little vehicle it was. It really welcomed us back to Japan. That sweetie was a “Vitz,” the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) name for Sotiris Kovos’s successful Yaris. Good Road we had that day, and no lie.
These four low mileage, super good condition, nearly new Japanese used cars are all being shipped direct from Japan to Cyprus. At Japan Car Direct we are definitely shipping to Cyprus.
But some people may still be thinking: “Yeah but taxes and documents are a nightmare, Right?”
I can tell you straight up, and our experienced Auction and Export Agents (the fellows I like to call our “Sales Guys,”) will back me up on this, the taxes are not a nightmare and you are not going to drown in documents.
Right now I can give you a heads up on the documents needed to ship your good used car from Japan to Cyprus. Documents are just something to be done step by step and taxes are just something to calculate accurately in advance so you don’t get pinched and you get the car that you want. That’s what we are here for at Japan Car Direct. Our sales guys go with you and guide you all the way with sorting out such documents such as the purchase invoice, the original registration certificate from Japan, the P17 form and the EORI number, and the shipping documents. We’ll also help you to correctly calculate taxes such as Import Duty and VAT.
And we make all the Japan side costs clear and upfront. Have a look at our How to Buy page on our Japan Car Direct main web site.
Now we must keep in mind that used cars going from Japan to Cyprus must be less than five years old, so there’s a bit of restriction there, but a very good point about shipping a used car from Japan, a Right Hand Drive (RHD) country, is that Cyprus is also a RHD country; so you’ve got this huge Japanese used car market to choose from. Here in Japan you will definitely find the right used car for Cyprus.
I’m not bragging when I say that, at JCD, we have built our reputation on things like clarity in these areas. Years ago, when I was talking to our founder, Scott Bower, about making all things clear and above board for our customers, he said that the customers should “Enjoy the Process and Love the Results.”
That still goes just as much for today as it did when I joined the company, and it goes for our customers who want to import a good used car direct now from Japan to Cyprus, whether via Limassol or Larnaca.
(I always invite our prospective customers to have a look at our Google Reviews so that you can share the experience of other JCD customers around the world.)
Just contact us by registering here with our free Auction Registration Service. We’ll help you find the right good used car for you from Japan, we’ll guide you through the process of bringing the car to Cyprus, arrange shipping and documentation, and we’ll get that car on the boat to a sun kissed RoRo port on the historic island of Cyprus. It will be our pleasure.
