Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How do I buy with SBT?

Once you are registered on our website, one of our advisors will contact you to assist with the purchasing process.

We have highly qualified staff who perform a detailed inspection of the vehicles before deciding to auction them. They ensure that the details and conditions of the vehicles match those provided by the auction houses.

Q3. What payment methods do you accept?

Due to the frequency of fraud with credit cards and others, we only accept payments via bank transfer from your bank account to our bank account.

It is not possible; all payments are made through bank transfer to our headquarters in Japan.

Q7. What is the approximate time for the vehicle to arrive at its destination?

Once the deposit is made (approximately 3 days for the transfer to reflect in our bank account), and confirmed, we proceed to reserve space with the shipping companies. Once the shipping date is set, the trip takes between 25 to 30 days to reach the destination port from the origin. NOTE: It is important to note that the shipping companies are not part of SBT, so the booking time can vary by a week or more, depending on the shipping company.

Q8. What documents do I need to pick up the vehicle from customs?

Bill of Lading (known as BL)

These documents are sent by DHL

Q9. How do I release my vehicle?

There are companies or individuals dedicated to vehicle releases, known as consignees. Our staff will provide more information about these companies or individuals to make the purchasing process easier for you. NOTE: Consignees are not SBT, so each has different regulations, procedures, and fees.
