RED SUN IMPORTS™ -We handle the entire process — from Tokyo to your UK driveway.

​

Our in-house team takes care of every stage of the import journey, so you don’t have to. From sourcing vehicles in Japan to full DVLA registration, we’ve built a seamless pipeline designed for peace of mind.

What we do

Shipping
We organise secure, insured containerised transport from major Japanese ports. We also offer roll-on options for eligible vehicles.

Customs

We ensure smooth and compliant UK customs clearance for every vehicle. All entries are handled efficiently to avoid delays — with full transparency and attention to detail.

Modyfications

We convert:

  • Speedometers (km/h to mph)

  • Language and software in infotainment systems

  • Fog Lamps 

Everything your Japanese import needs to be DVSA-compliant — done by us, in-house.

Campervan Conversions 

Have a van imported from Japan? We can convert it into a fully fitted campervan — sleeping, cooking, electrics and custom interior included.

DVLA Registration & MOT Preparation

We take care of all paperwork and inspections needed to register your imported vehicle in the UK.

Our team ensures that your vehicle meets all necessary UK road standards by arranging:

  • Pre-registration MOT testing

  • Any required DVSA compliance work

  • DVLA documentation submission

Once testing is complete and your vehicle is fully compliant, we submit the application to the DVLA. The entire process is handled with accuracy and efficiency, so your vehicle is ready for UK roads as soon as possible.
