JEVIC representatives visit Lanka

International Operations Manager, JEVIC Company Ltd. Japan, Aaron Treadaway presents a plaque to Managing Director, Premium Trading and Logistics, Rohitha Mendis as a symbolic reaffirmation of the agency.

Representatives of Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Centre (JEVIC), one of Japan's leading certification companies for used Vehicles, visited Sri Lanka recently to meet officials of Premium Trading and Logistics (Pvt) Ltd, their local agent and discuss marketing strategy and also meet members of the industry.

The Government in 2013 approved Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Centre Company Ltd. (JEVIC) as one of the authorised vehicle inspection companies for used vehicles before export from Japan, a company spokesman said.

They met a cross section of leaders of used vehicle importing companies. They also paid courtesy calls on key officials of Government Authorities including Director of Fiscal Policy, Finance Ministry, Controller General of Imports and Exports, Controller General of Motor Vehicles and representatives of the Sri Lanka Customs where they discussed critical issues faced by used vehicle importers relating to pre-inspection and to provide services to enrich the used car market in Sri Lanka.

"The company has ISO/IEC 17020: 1998 IBS Standard Type A accreditation and the technical ability and experience to conduct pre-shipment inspection of used motor vehicles destined to Sri Lanka.

Its office network in Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe backed by over 30 approved, full-equipped inspection sites including bonded facilities within the port, has reduced logistical expenses for the exporter," the spokesman said.
