Japan Simplifies Import Procedures for US-Made Vehicles

Toyota Motor Corp. plans to import three US-built models, including the Camry sedan. Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. are considering similar moves.

Also on Monday, Japanese trade minister Ryosei Akazawa rode in a US-made Toyota Highlander SUV for the first time. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is leasing two such “reverse-imported” vehicles from the United States.
