My Japanese Truck Arrived Safely in Dar es Salaam

Customer Review: My Truck Arrived Safely in Dar es Salaam

Importing Japanese used trucks, buses, and tractors to Tanzania has become a trusted choice for many transport businesses and drivers. Japanese vehicles are known for their durability, reliability, and low maintenance, making them perfect for Africa’s demanding roads.

Recently, a happy customer from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, shared his experience after receiving his truck from EVERY Japan (EVERYCAR.jp). Here’s his story — a real example of how smooth and reliable the process can be when importing a Japanese vehicle.


1. The Customer’s Story

Mr. Joseph, a logistics operator in Dar es Salaam, was looking for a medium-duty truck to expand his transport business. After comparing several exporters online, he decided to buy from EVERY Japan, a company with over 18 years of experience exporting vehicles worldwide.

“I found my perfect truck — a Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter, well-maintained and clean. The photos and engine details were accurate, and the price was very fair. The team at EVERY Japan guided me step-by-step, from inspection to shipment.”


2. Easy Purchase and Inspection

Once Joseph confirmed the order, the EVERY Japan team immediately arranged a JEVIC pre-shipment inspection, required by the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS). The inspection ensured that the truck met all Tanzanian import regulations, including roadworthiness and emission control.

“They sent me the JEVIC certificate and export documents within a few days. Everything was clear and professional. I felt confident the truck was in safe hands.”


3. Smooth Shipment to Dar es Salaam

The truck was shipped on the RORO vessel TRANS FUTURE 5, departing from Yokohama Port, Japan, and arriving at Dar es Salaam Port in just under 25 days.

Joseph tracked the shipment online using the Bill of Lading number provided by EVERY Japan. When the vessel docked, his clearing agent handled customs and port procedures quickly.

“The truck arrived exactly as described — no damage, no missing parts. Even the tires were in great shape! It was delivered to my yard in just two days after clearance.”


4. Why Tanzanians Trust Japanese Used Trucks

Tanzania has one of East Africa’s strongest import markets for Japanese vehicles. Many business owners in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Dodoma, and Mwanza rely on Japanese trucks for daily operations.

Here’s why:

Feature Benefit
High-Quality Engineering Trucks last for years, even on rough terrain.
Affordable Prices Lower cost than buying new trucks locally.
Fuel Efficiency Saves money in daily transport operations.
Easy Maintenance Spare parts are widely available in Tanzania.
Reliable Engines Models like 4D34, 6M60, and 6HK1 are proven tough.

These factors make Japanese vehicles — especially Mitsubishi Fuso, Hino, Isuzu, and Toyota — the most trusted brands in Tanzania’s transport industry.


5. The Customer’s Feedback on EVERY Japan

“I want to thank EVERY Japan for their honesty and great communication. They always responded quickly on WhatsApp and explained every document clearly. I have already recommended them to my friends who are planning to buy trucks from Japan.”

EVERY Japan takes pride in providing excellent customer service, ensuring buyers in Tanzania feel supported throughout the entire process — from vehicle selection to shipping and customs clearance.
