    Be careful when opting for a Japanese grey import, as far as I know you are not permitted to tow anything that would lead to the vehicle gross weight been exceeded (a small trailer) because the VIN plate will not have a towing weight stamped on it as it is not a requirement in Japan.

    Apart from the above it might be difficult to obtain a type approved towbar for a vehicle that is not normally imported into the country.
