Malaysia: establish the AP importer route first
MITI distinguishes Open AP, Franchise AP and Individual AP categories. The Open AP category describes used or reconditioned CBU cars between one and five years old; that is not blanket permission for every buyer or vehicle. Confirm the applicable category and importer before a deposit.
No listed vehicle is represented as eligible for import. Before paying a deposit, ask your local importer and relevant authority to check the exact VIN, model and variant.

Prepare before committing
- Identify the Malaysian importer and its appropriate AP route; FF AUTO does not claim to hold a Malaysian AP.
- Send the VIN, manufacture and first-registration records, model and variant for category-specific review. Ask how age is calculated for that route.
- Ask the importer to list approvals, inspection, customs and registration documents, with the party responsible for each.
Questions for your importer
- Which AP category applies to this transaction and who obtains the permit?
- Does this exact vehicle meet that category’s age and model requirements?
- What must be approved before payment and shipping, and which costs remain outside the vehicle quote?

Enquire with these details
Send the stock ID or sourcing brief, destination and port, importer details, intended use and timing. Request a written quote identifying included and excluded work, responsible parties, payment terms and unresolved approvals. Freight, insurance and destination services must be specifically confirmed; an enquiry does not reserve a vehicle or confirm transport or delivery.
