PIONEER Training on how to Import Japanese Used Car “the struggle of understanding the correct steps with pros and cons of importing a Used Car from international dealers, may be a step closer to know, with a first of its training in Lae.
The recent one-day training conducted by Lead Facilitator Mr Dennis Tauvasa of Gavuri Transport, had participants learning the correct step by step approach of importing a Used Car from an International Car supplier.
According to Mr Tauvasa, with the increase of Papua New Guineans now looking outside of the country for quality used vehicle, there are instances of illegitimate agents with dealers that have conned interested buyers to purchase vehicles.
He explained that many have lost their hard-earned money over the years, due to undertaking deals with non-genuine used car import sources.
“With the training I have tailored to increase participant knowledge to avoid instances of scams and dishonest costs applied etc. and provide the right route for Papua New Guineans to import vehicles through legitimate means.”
“I saw the need for my fellow country men and women to be more informative of the know-how and actual costs of actually importing vehicles from genuine sources.”
Mr Tauvasa, an enthusiastic Papua New Guinean, who has docked over 10 years in the business, explains that he has taken the bold step now to come out and create more awareness for the eager car ownership individuals.
He explained that participants in the first part of training learnt the basic processes involved from ordering from International Supplier directly to Local Agent, PNG Customs, Customs Broker, PNG Ports, Stevedoring, NAQIA and other related documentation required ahead of the arrival of the vehicles purchased.
“The second part of the training was based on calculations for the process inclusive of all costs related from Supplier to Total Drive Away. The calculations are stemmed on average Foreign Exchange usually in American Dollars.”
“The calculations done are clear to know exactly the Wharfage and Handling Fees, which is usually done in one whole coat and not broken down properly for the customer to understand.”
“I saw the need to introduce the training to upskill Papua New Guineans for importing used vehicles without being ripped off from their hard earned money.”
He said the training is further applicable not only for Japanese suppliers but right across other countries that customers can source vehicles from.
“Our next training session will be conducted in Madang on the 24th March 2023 and we encourage vehicle enthusiasts to partake in the training.”
