Vehicle Inspections

Quarantine Inspection (Biosecurity)

Vehicles

As an organization approved by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) of New Zealand and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) of Australia, we conduct pre-shipment inspections of used vehicles to meet the set standards. Our inspectors carefully conduct the visual inspections at dedicated facilities, helping to protect the ecosystems and environment of the importing countries.

Used agricultural machinery

We are a registered inspection agency by the Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). Conducting pre-export inspections of used agricultural machinery for European Union countries and UK to check if machines meet the plant quarantine needs of importing countries. Our inspections support the development of the agriculture, forestry, and fishery industries of importing countries by preventing the introduction of pests and diseases.

Vessels

In 2009 we were approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to conduct on-site inspections of vessels at ports of call and to issue certificates of absence of the Flighted Spongy Moth Complex (regulated species of Lymantria). This certification is also accepted by Australia, Chile and New Zealand authorities.

Vehicle Structural Inspection

Our qualified personnel are approved by Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) to conduct inspections in accordance with the Agency's regulations. These inspections ensure that safe, high-quality vehicles arrive at the destination.

Odometer Inspection

We verify the actual odometer mileage against the historical readings of the vehicle to enhance compliance reliability in the importing, buying, and selling of used vehicles. Transport Malta, the officially appointed body in Malta, requires that vehicles exported from Japan to Malta undergo this inspection.

Vehicle Function Inspection

This inspection is accredited by government agencies of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Mauritius, and Sri Lanka. By exporting vehicles whose safety functions have been verified in Japan we contribute to the improvement of traffic safety and “safe cities” in importing countries. JEVIC has full vehicle inspection-line facilities, using equipment approved for the vehicle periodic technical inspection (shaken) in Japan.

Quarantine Heat Treatment

We are approved by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) of New Zealand, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) of Australia, and the Biosecurity Authority of Fiji (BAF) as a quarantine pest heat treatment provider in Japan. In particular, we help to eliminate stink bugs which are a serious threat to both New Zealand and Regional countries’ natural environment and agricultural industries.
