For International Riders: Vehicle Purchase & International Shipping Coordination
Good Loop handles the logistics so overseas riders coming to tour Japan can focus on what matters — the ride.
Whether you want to bring your own bike, buy a vehicle in Japan and take it home, or ship it to your next destination after your tour — we take care of everything behind the scenes.
We handle motorcycles and four-wheeled vehicles.
What We Do
JDM & Quality Vehicle Sourcing
Worried about the language barrier or paperwork when buying a vehicle in Japan?
We manage the entire process, from finding candidates to picking up the vehicle.
- Searching auctions, private listings, and dealer inventory
- Handling all communication and negotiation with sellers
- Organizing required documentation (title transfer, export deregistration, etc.)
- Coordinating pickup, packing, and shipping after purchase
Whether you have a specific request — “I want this model, this year” — or a general one — “find me something in good condition around this budget” — we can work with it.

International Shipping (Import & Export)
Want to bring your bike to Japan and ship it back when you’re done? Or send a vehicle you purchased in Japan overseas?
We handle route selection, packing arrangements, documentation, and coordination with our partners — all in one place.
- We’ll recommend air freight or sea freight based on cost and timeline.
- Have a deadline? Tell us your target date and we’ll plan backwards from there.

Documentation Support (Carnet / TIP, etc.)
Temporary import documents, customs declarations — it’s completely normal not to know where to start.
We’ll break down what’s needed and guide you to the right authorities.
Once you know “what to submit, by when, and where,” most of it is something you can handle yourself. Just ask us about the parts you’re unsure of.
Why Good Loop
We’re riders too.
We’ve been there — traveling abroad, struggling with the language, wishing someone was there to help.
- A breakdown happens and you can’t make a call in the local language.
- You need a mechanic but have no idea who to trust.
- You want to arrange shipping but don’t know where to begin.
We built the service we wished had existed.
We’re not a major logistics company. But that’s exactly why we can give every job the attention it deserves. Ask us “what’s the status?” and you’ll get a real answer.
Pricing
Our fee structure: service fee + actual costs (payments to partner vendors)
- Varies by vehicle size, shipping distance, and scope of work
- Urgent or after-hours assistance available as an add-on
- Quotes are free
Even if you just want a rough ballpark figure, that’s fine — reach out.

FAQ
Q. When should I reach out? The earlier the better. Even if your dates aren’t set, a rough “around Month X” is enough for us to start working.
Q. Can I communicate in English? Yes. Japanese or English, either is fine.
Q. Do you cover all of Japan? Yes. We have particularly strong partner networks in Kanto, Kansai, and Hokkaido. Other regions are handled on a best-effort basis.
