The Japan Automobile Importers Association reportedly said sales of imported vehicles totalled 22,148 in July, down from 22,636 a year ago.
The slump in imported auto sales reflects a generally weak auto market in Japan where new vehicle sales fell for the sixth straight month in July.
Sales of vehicles made by foreign automaker declined 0.3% to 19,890 vehicles while sales of vehicles produced overseas by Japanese automakers dropped 16% to 2,258 vehicles.
