Hi Amga. Is there any form of pre-export certificate among the documents that were sent? Even if not Jevic. Something showing The mijleage, chassis, engine nos, and that it is radiation free? There are several bodies that are mandated by KEBS to do pre-export inspection.
If there is nothing. Please, and as soon as possible, pay the USD 220 AND get the inspection done from here. That is the standard charge. In japan they do it at USD 200. Your agent should have notified you of this anomaly immediately he/she received the documents, considering the documents usually come in earlier than the car. To avoid/reduce the storage charges (I pray the CFS is one that gives several days/weeks), call them and explain your predicament. You may get a full/partial waiver considering it is not entirely your fault. But act VERY FAST. Liaise with your clearing agent and get the inspection done. I wish you success. Keep us posted on what happens.
