Hello,
I realised that the imported Honda Fits don't come with parcel shelf and if anyone managed to get the part to fit from Honda?
I came across this kit as our imports don't have any clips or attachments.

The cheapest option might be to get one from a scrapyard. If you Google with the keyword [ honda jazz scrapyard ] you will get a list of several breakers who have a search facility for spare parts

just google 84400-TAR-G01ZA & something may be available locally.

I managed to find the Parcel shelf's, I seem to be missing these parts though?

The back of the hybrid is also a bit different as the toolkit is sitting on the side.

I dont know the mk3, or the differences with a ' grey' import. I initially thought the problem was just the absence of hinge points on the seat back and hooks on the hydraulic struts for the lifting cords. I was going to suggest that simplified hinges and clips could be fabricated that would suffice.
But from the photos it seems the import has significantly different inner boot trim panels lacking side ledges that support the closed shelf. The correct Mk3 parcel shelf would not only lack side support but may also leave a significant open gap each side.
Plan A .obtain inner side panels from a scrapped uk car which would then support a standard mk3 shelf. .But this would be a big job, with no guarantee they would be a straightforward fit ,such as round the boot opening and seat back.
Plan B .Obtain a parcel shelf from a bigger car and cut it to fit the extra width ,with maybe simple side support blocks of high density black foam stuck to the inner panel sides with double sided trim tape.
But extra shelf width might not fit through the hatch opening or roof line as it lifts.
Plan C , Use a standard Jazz parcel shelf and make much more sophisticated side ledges out of high density foam that also fills any gaps.
Plan D, Just an idea, thinking outside the box. May not be practical. Instead of a parcel shelf try to find some sort of roller blind that can be fixed across the top of the seat back and pulled forward over the boot space when required. One with springs that automatically retracts maybe using thin bamboo slats etc covered in discreate fabric rather than fabric alone

Looking at the pictures, it looks like this car is not designed or intended to have a parcel shelf or load cover ... Which got me wondering why. Is it maybe connected with the fact that it's a hybrid ? One of the pictures shows a grille in the side moulding which is absent from UK spec non-hybrids; is it possible that this is ventilation for the battery pack under the boot floor? If so, then Honda have deliberately chosen not to have a load cover in order to allow air circulation between the battery and the cabin, and to retrofit one would seem unwise. Of course, if it's just an ornamental grille with no possibility of allowing air flow to the battery then that theory is rubbish.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions!
I did a bit of digging and found this:
The Honda Fit Hybrid GP5 (2014–2016) sold in Japan does not feature a parcel shelf (also known as a rear shelf or luggage shelf) in the trunk, unlike some later models or variants of the Fit. This design choice is intentional and stems from the vehicle’s focus on maximizing cargo space and usability through its "Magic Seat" system and flat load floor. The absence of a parcel shelf allows for a completely flat, unobstructed cargo area, which enhances flexibility for carrying long or bulky items.
This design is consistent with the Japanese domestic market (JDM) philosophy of prioritizing practicality and interior versatility over cosmetic or functional additions like a fixed parcel shelf. The 2020 all-new Fit e:HEV (GP6), which succeeded the GP5, retained this approach but introduced updated interior layouts and features such as a table console between the front seats—further emphasizing usability over traditional storage elements.
Thank you all for taking the time to reply!
Much appreciated.

Thank you for finding and sharing this information! Makes sense to me.

Without wishing to doubt your source (which is what, by the way?), the logic in those statements seems awry to me. This bit is bizarre:
This design choice is intentional and stems from the vehicle’s focus on maximizing cargo space and usability through its "Magic Seat" system and flat load floor. The absence of a parcel shelf allows for a completely flat, unobstructed cargo area, which enhances flexibility for carrying long or bulky items.
My UK spec Jazz has magic seats, a flat load floor, and can have a completely flat unobstructed load area with flexibility for carrying long or bulky items ... but also has a removable load cover. So you don't need to sacrifice the load cover to get those advantages. There may be something in the idea that load covers are not normal on JDM cars, or maybe something's been lost in translation (or the AI is hallucinating).

I suspect its more likely due to the Jazz and Yaris being very competitive against each other on price in the JDM to attract young first time buyers who may remain brand loyal for life. If the absence of a parcel shelf is not unusual on the JDM, saving a few yen per car might just tip the price below a significant threshold , eg £9999 rather than £10,000 . Claiming it maximises load space ,blah blah , may be more acceptable hype than 'It saves us money'.
So maybe plan E. Benefit from the smoother lines and maximised load space and buy a couple of large foldable boot bag/organisers to hide stuff from prying eyes.
