About HANAN TRADING LLC
A Japan-based car export brokerage built around three things: direct auction access, real transparency on price and condition, and end-to-end service from sourcing to your port.
Our story
HANAN TRADING LLC was founded in Japan to do one thing well: source the right car at the right price for buyers anywhere in the world. We started by helping a handful of buyers in East Africa find Hiluxes and Hiaces. Word spread.
Today we ship to over twenty countries. We bid at the major Japanese auctions ourselves, source from a vetted network of dealers when needed, and treat every car as if a member of our family was buying it. That includes the hard part: telling you when a car is not worth bidding on, and showing you something better.
We are not the cheapest broker out there. We are the one that does the work to make sure the car you receive is the car you were promised.
Mission and values
- Transparency. Itemized quotes, real auction sheets, real JEVIC reports.
- Direct. We bid ourselves. No brokers between you and the auction.
- Reliability. Documents on time, ships booked, agents lined up.
- Long-term. Most of our buyers come back. That is by design.
