Attention:
If a temporarily imported vehicle is registered in a country that is not a party to the aforementioned treaty (as it were, Germany, Switzerland, Monaco Slovenia), it must be inspected and registered in Japan on arrival, even if imported under cover of CPD.
An applicant to who would obtain an authentication of CPD, you should send copies of Registration Certificate with copies of CPD in advance.

This is the reason why we most likely be unable to drive our car on japans roads
I heard from a lot of times where japans authorities made a exception, BUT... the car wont be anywhere near being road legal in japan (steering lock kit, drifting modifications, hydraulic handbrake, bucket seats etc.)
If we wont be able to sell our car there, we will hopefully be able to rent storage at the track to just fly over there some time again. Ebisu Circuit is like the mecca of drift, so its always worth a visit
I dont like the idea of doing the temporary import thing without a carnet and then lying about the destination of the car.
as chris of japan stated in the other thread, every other traveller will suffer, if the authorities stop accepting the temporary import without the carnet :/
