I'm not sure about Japan but China has import tax based on engine size
50% for less than 3 liter
100% for 3~4 liter
150% for over 4 liter
I'm not joking, you would pay 150% of the current value on your car to get it through customs.
Sure there are ways to grease the officials but if you have to ask then you don't have the connections.
I have a feeling Japan won't be too far behind on this as most Asian countries have terrible pollution problems.

The cost of domestically made foreign cars don't cost too much more, but camaros aren't being made in Chinese GM factories yet.
The only option they have is a mixed 1LT-2LT for 600k RMB, divide by 6 into 100k dollars, again it's not a joke, I know ppl who current drives one in China
