Yes, we can export a 2020 Toyota Crown RS (2.0L turbo) to Moscow, Russia. A typical unit with around 20,000 km is priced at $25,000 to $28,000 FOB. RoRo shipping to Vladivostok is about $1,500, after which the car can be railed to Moscow. Right-hand-drive units can be sourced to order, and each one comes with a Japanese auction sheet. For current stock and a landed-cost quote, contact us on WhatsApp +86 155 5692 0288.

This guide explains how the price is built, what it costs to move a Crown from Japan to Moscow, how to verify the car before payment, and how to place an order. We are a direct exporter, not agency, not aggregator — you deal with the party that buys, documents, and ships the vehicle.

What determines the price of a 2020 Toyota Crown RS?

The $25,000–$28,000 FOB range is not arbitrary. Several concrete variables move the number up or down, and understanding them helps you judge whether a quote is realistic.

  • Grade and trim: The RS is the 2.0L turbocharged trim. Higher-spec RS variants with leather, larger infotainment, or advanced driver-assist packages sit at the top of the range; base RS cars sit lower.
  • Mileage: 20,000 km is low for a 2020 model. Every additional 10,000 km typically shaves a few hundred dollars off the auction price, while sub-20,000 km examples can push above $28,000.
  • Auction grade: Japanese auction sheets rate condition from 1 to 5 (with S and R grades for exceptional or repaired cars). A grade 4.5 or 5 car with no accident history commands a premium; grade 3.5 or R cars are cheaper but need closer inspection.
  • Color and options: White, black, and pearl finishes hold value best in the Russian market. Sunroof, JBL audio, and full LED packages add value.
  • Timing and supply: Auction prices fluctuate weekly. When Crown supply is tight, the same specification can cost $1,000–$2,000 more than in a soft market.

Because we buy directly at Japanese auctions, we can show you the actual auction sheet and hammer price logic behind each quote. That transparency is one reason buyers prefer working with a direct exporter rather than a broker who marks up an already-marked-up listing.

What are the shipping and tax costs to Moscow?

Getting the car from Japan to Moscow involves two legs and several fees. Here is how the costs typically break down for a Crown RS.

  • RoRo to Vladivostok: About $1,500 for a standard RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) sailing. Transit time is usually 7–14 days depending on the port schedule.
  • Rail from Vladivostok to Moscow: Roughly $1,200–$2,000 depending on container vs. rail-car rates, season, and whether the car ships as a single unit or consolidated. Transit is typically 14–21 days.
  • Russian customs duties and taxes: Calculated on the customs value (usually the FOB price plus freight and insurance). For a 2020 Crown RS, expect a combined duty and VAT burden that can add several thousand dollars. Rates depend on engine displacement, age, and the current customs valuation method.
  • Recycling fee (utilization fee): Russia applies a recycling fee based on engine size and vehicle age. For a 2.0L passenger car, this is a fixed amount that must be paid before the car is released.
  • Port and terminal charges: Vladivostok terminal handling, temporary storage, and customs broker fees typically run a few hundred dollars.
  • Insurance: Marine insurance for the sea leg is usually 0.3%–0.5% of the CIF value; optional inland insurance covers the rail segment.

As a rough planning figure, a $26,000 FOB Crown RS often lands in Moscow in the low-to-mid $30,000s all-in, depending on the exchange rate and the exact customs assessment. We provide a line-by-line landed-cost estimate before you commit, so there are no surprises.

How do I verify the car and its documents before paying?

Verification is the step that separates a smooth import from an expensive mistake. Every Crown we export comes with a Japanese auction sheet, and we walk you through it.

  • Auction sheet review: The sheet shows the grade, mileage, accident history, and inspector notes on scratches, dents, and mechanical issues. We translate the key sections and flag anything that affects value.
  • Photos and video: We provide current photos of the exterior, interior, engine bay, and odometer, plus a walkaround video on request.
  • Export certificate: After purchase, the Japanese export certificate (and deregistration) is issued in the exporter's name. This is the document that proves lawful export.
  • Bill of Lading: The B/L is issued by the shipping line once the car is loaded. It is the key document for customs clearance in Russia.
  • Inspection before shipping: We can arrange a pre-shipment inspection at the Japanese port to confirm the car matches the auction sheet.

Because we are a direct exporter, not agency, not aggregator, the documents are issued by us or our shipping partners — not passed through a chain of intermediaries. That reduces the risk of mismatched paperwork at Russian customs.

How do I order and pay?

The process is straightforward and designed to protect both sides.

  • Step 1 — Enquiry: Message us on WhatsApp +86 155 5692 0288 with your target spec (year, trim, mileage, color, budget). We send available units with auction sheets and photos.
  • Step 2 — Reserve: Once you choose a car, we issue a proforma invoice. A deposit (typically 30%–50%) reserves the unit.
  • Step 3 — Payment: The balance is due before shipping. We accept bank transfer (T/T) in USD; for repeat buyers we can discuss other arrangements. All payments go to the exporter's company account.
  • Step 4 — Shipping and documents: We book the RoRo sailing, send you the B/L and export certificate, and coordinate the rail leg to Moscow if you want a door-to-door service.
  • Step 5 — Customs and delivery: You or your customs broker clears the car in Vladivostok or Moscow. We can recommend brokers and provide the document pack they need.

Typical lead time from deposit to arrival in Moscow is 5–8 weeks, depending on sailing schedules and rail availability.

Why buy from a direct exporter?

Many listings online are posted by agencies or aggregators that do not own the car, do not control the shipping, and add a margin at every step. Working with a direct exporter means:

  • You see the real auction sheet and the real FOB price.
  • Documents are issued cleanly, in the exporter's name.
  • Shipping is booked directly, so you know the actual freight cost.
  • Communication is with the party responsible for the export, not a middleman.

We specialize in Japanese-market vehicles, including the Crown family, and ship regularly to Russia and other markets. If you want a specific Crown RS, tell us the spec and we will source it at auction.
