JDM is short for Japanese domestic market, and it is used to describe car models specifically produced for sale in Japan. Keep in mind that while some people might refer to all cars made in Japan as JDM models, this is not the case - the country where the car is manufactured is irrelevant to the JDM classification; only the country where the car is sold is important.
Japanese automobile manufacturers cater their car models to specific target markets, leading to multiple versions of the same model for domestic and overseas customers, often known as region-exclusive models. Differences could range from right-hand drive for JDM cars sold in Japan and left-hand drive for those bound for export, to lower speed limits in JDM cars to comply with Japanese safety regulations; different model names are also common. Kei-class cars, which have been designed to take advantage of benefits from the Japanese government based on their size, engine capacity, and power output, are a great example of JDM cars intended only for domestic purchase. On the other hand, sports cars that receive a stiffer suspension, such as the Nissan Skyline GT-R, can also be a JDM iteration.

RoRo RoRo vessels are designed for "Roll on Roll off" transportation of vehicles. Compared to containers, RoRo tends to have relatively lower local fees at the destination port, making it the simplest and quickest method for receiving vehicles. For those not needing to purchase multiple cars, it becomes the most effective transportation option.
Container When purchasing multiple cars, it can be cost-effective to transport them in containers. Depending on the vehicle size, a 20ft container can accommodate 1-2 cars, while a 40ft container can fit 4-6 cars. Unlike RoRo, container shipping may incur additional costs at the destination port, such as devanning, DTHC, and port charges. It is advisable to consult with a customs broker for clarification.
