Shipping Details & Route Options
Review available freight options, route details, customs notes and planning information for this destination.
01. Shipping from China to Japan Is Fast, but Customs Planning Comes First
Shipping from China to Japan is usually faster than many long-distance routes because China and Japan have frequent short-sea, air and express connections. However, transit time is not the only issue. Before the goods leave China, importers also need to plan Japan customs documents, product compliance, Japan Consumption Tax, import duty, delivery terms, ACP/IOR arrangements and final delivery.
VoltFreight works as a China to Japan freight forwarder for importers, Amazon sellers, e-commerce brands, wholesalers, manufacturers and B2B buyers. Instead of using one fixed route for every shipment, our team reviews cargo type, HS code, declared value, product compliance, supplier city, Japan destination, delivery scenario and the right service term, such as DDP, DAP/DDU, Amazon FBA Japan delivery, air freight, sea freight or express courier.
In addition, this page helps importers build a practical China-to-Japan logistics plan instead of only comparing cheap freight quotes. You can use it to understand Japan sea freight, air freight, express courier, DDP review, DAP/DDU delivery, Amazon FBA Japan delivery, Rakuten/Yahoo warehouse delivery, business address delivery and regional delivery to Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Fukuoka and other Japanese cities.
Therefore, the goal is to help you choose a route that matches both delivery speed and Japan import compliance.
What Makes Japan Shipping Different?
- China-to-Japan routes are short and frequent, but customs and product compliance still matter.
- DDP shipping to Japan requires HS code, declared value, Japan Consumption Tax, duty, IOR/ACP and product review.
- DAP/DDU may fit better when the consignee has a Japanese importer or customs broker.
- Amazon FBA Japan shipments need special review because sellers should not list Amazon as the importer of record.
- Some FBA shipments need customs valuation review when no normal sale to a Japanese buyer exists at the time of import.
- RCEP may reduce duty for eligible Chinese-origin goods, but only when the shipment meets origin and document requirements.
What We Check Before Quoting
Before quoting, VoltFreight checks cargo name, product photos, HS code, gross weight, carton dimensions, CBM, supplier city, cargo ready date, delivery address, shipment type, invoice value, product compliance and preferred service term. As a result, we prepare the quote based on real Japan import conditions instead of a simple per-kg price.
You can also explore our related services for sea freight from China, air freight from China, express freight from China and door-to-door shipping from China.
02. Quick Answer: Shipping from China to Japan
If you are comparing different shipping methods from China to Japan, start with the delivery scenario, customs responsibility and product compliance. Japan is a fast route; however, the wrong importer setup, missing documents or incorrect FBA delivery plan can still create delays. Therefore, the best option depends on both logistics speed and customs readiness.
Fast Summary for Importers
| Question | Practical Answer |
|---|---|
| Best shipping method | Sea freight works well for regular inventory, while air freight fits urgent cargo. Meanwhile, express is better for small parcels, and DDP/DAP should follow customs review. |
| Typical transit time | Express may take about 2-5+ days, air freight about 2-6+ days, and sea freight about 4-14+ days port-to-port. However, customs and final delivery add extra time. |
| Is DDP available? | Yes. VoltFreight reviews DDP after checking HS code, Japan Consumption Tax, duty, ACP/IOR, product compliance and final delivery address. |
| Amazon FBA Japan? | Yes. Before booking, our team checks FBA labels, warehouse assignment, delivery appointment, ACP/IOR setup and customs valuation. |
| Can Amazon be the importer? | No. Sellers should not list Amazon as the importer of record for FBA shipments. |
| Can RCEP reduce duty? | Possibly. RCEP may help eligible Chinese-origin goods reduce import duty if the shipment meets origin rules and documentation requirements. |
03. Choose the Japan Delivery Scenario First
For Japan, the delivery scenario often decides the best shipping method. For example, a shipment going to Amazon FBA Japan has different customs, labeling and appointment requirements from cargo going to a Japanese business warehouse, private address, port pickup or Rakuten/Yahoo warehouse. Therefore, delivery planning should come before route selection.
Japan Delivery Scenarios at a Glance
| Japan Delivery Scenario | Better Service Term | What Must Be Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon FBA Japan | DDP review / DAP / FBA customs valuation review | ACP/IOR, Amazon importer restrictions, FBA labels, warehouse appointment, customs valuation and product compliance. |
| FBA shipment with valuation adjustment concern | DDP quote with customs valuation adjustment review | Japan selling price, invoice value, domestic deductions, Japan Consumption Tax, duty and valuation responsibility. |
| Japanese business importer | DAP / DDU / business warehouse delivery | Importer details, customs broker, invoice, tax responsibility and delivery appointment. |
| Rakuten / Yahoo Japan warehouse | DDP / DAP / warehouse delivery | Consignee details, warehouse requirements, carton labels, invoice and product documents. |
| Private address or small parcel | Courier / DDP / DAP review | Declared value, product type, low-value rule, restricted goods and final address. |
| Port pickup | CIF / CFR / DAP port | B/L, arrival notice, D/O, Japanese customs broker and local truck plan. |
Because each scenario has different risks, VoltFreight first confirms the delivery target. Then, we recommend the right route, whether it is sea freight, air freight, courier, DDP, DAP/DDU or FBA delivery review.
04. Japan Entry Points: Tokyo Bay, Kansai, Chubu and Kyushu
Japan has several strong port and airport regions. The best entry point depends on your final delivery area, cargo type and service term. For example, cargo for Tokyo-area warehouses may enter through Tokyo or Yokohama, while western Japan shipments may fit Osaka or Kobe better.
Main Japan Entry Areas
| Japan Entry Area | Main Ports / Airports | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Kanto / Tokyo Bay | Tokyo, Yokohama, Chiba, Narita, Haneda | Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, FBA and business warehouse delivery. |
| Kansai / Hanshin | Osaka, Kobe, Kansai Airport | Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Hyogo and western Japan distribution. |
| Chubu / Nagoya | Nagoya Port, Chubu Centrair Airport | Aichi, Gifu, Mie, Shizuoka and industrial supply chains. |
| Kyushu | Hakata, Moji, Fukuoka Airport | Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Kyushu regional delivery and western Japan routes. |
| Hokkaido | Tomakomai, Sapporo area delivery | Hokkaido cargo that needs domestic transfer and regional delivery review. |
Our team compares sailing schedule, flight space, customs scope, delivery address, warehouse appointment, FBA destination, DDP/DAP responsibility and final trucking cost. As a result, choosing the right Japan entry point often reduces delivery risk more effectively than choosing the cheapest freight rate.
05. Short-Sea Freight to Japan: LCL and FCL for Stable Inventory
Sea freight from China to Japan is one of the most practical options for stable commercial inventory. Because China and Japan are close, short-sea freight can support frequent replenishment for B2B buyers, e-commerce sellers, wholesalers, retailers and factory supply chains.
When LCL or FCL Sea Freight Makes Sense
- LCL sea freight works when the cargo is too large for courier but not enough for a full container.
- FCL sea freight works when the cargo volume can justify a 20GP, 40GP or 40HQ container.
- In many cases, sea freight suits cartons, pallets, machinery, furniture, equipment, retail stock and regular replenishment cargo.
- The final destination should match the port plan, such as Tokyo/Yokohama for Kanto, Osaka/Kobe for Kansai, Nagoya for Chubu or Hakata/Moji for Kyushu.
- Before departure, importers should confirm DDP, DAP, FBA delivery, warehouse delivery or port pickup.
Sea Freight Is Not Just Port-to-Port
For many Japan shipments, the real service is not only China port to Japan port. Importers may also need supplier pickup, China warehouse consolidation, export handling, customs documents, DDP/DAP review, port delivery, FBA appointment, warehouse delivery or final-address delivery. Therefore, the delivery plan should be confirmed before shipment, not after arrival.
06. Air Freight and Express Shipping from China to Japan
Air freight from China to Japan is useful for urgent, high-value and time-sensitive cargo. It can support samples, spare parts, electronics, fashion items, medical-related goods, emergency replenishment and small commercial shipments.
Main Air Cargo Entry Points
- Narita Airport for Tokyo-area cargo and Kanto distribution.
- Haneda Airport for selected Tokyo-area air cargo and urgent shipments.
- Kansai Airport for Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and western Japan delivery.
- Chubu Centrair Airport for Nagoya, Aichi and Chubu industrial cargo.
- Fukuoka Airport for Kyushu regional cargo when route conditions fit.
Express Courier for Samples and Small Parcels
Express shipping from China to Japan can work well for documents, samples, small parcels, lightweight cartons, replacement parts and urgent low-volume shipments. Courier options may include DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS or other express routes depending on product type and destination address.
For air freight or courier pricing, please send cargo name, gross weight, carton dimensions, product photos, HS code, supplier city, cargo ready date and Japan destination. In addition, batteries, liquids, powders, branded goods, wireless products, cosmetics, food-related products, medical-related goods and dangerous goods need extra review before booking.
Low-Value Import Does Not Mean Every Parcel Is Tax-Free
Japan Customs states that goods with a total customs value of 10,000 yen or less generally qualify for exemption from customs duty and consumption tax. However, domestic excise taxes such as liquor tax or tobacco tax do not qualify for that exemption. You can review the reference on the Japan Customs low-value exemption page.
Therefore, importers should not assume every small parcel is tax-free. Product type, value, purpose, import frequency and customs decision can still affect the final result.
07. DDP Shipping from China to Japan, DAP/DDU and Tax Responsibility
DDP shipping from China to Japan can help importers who want a more complete landed service. However, DDP should not be treated as an automatic solution for every product. VoltFreight reviews Japan DDP by HS code, declared value, commercial invoice, product compliance, Japan Consumption Tax, import duty, ACP/IOR arrangement and final delivery address.
When DDP Japan May Work
- The product name, HS code and declared value are clear.
- The commercial invoice and packing list match the actual cargo.
- Our team can estimate Japan Consumption Tax and import duty before shipment.
- ACP/IOR arrangement can support the import declaration.
- The product does not require missing permits, certificates or unavailable compliance documents.
- The importer can confirm the final delivery address, FBA warehouse or business warehouse before booking.
When DAP or DDU Is Safer
DAP / DDU delivery often works better when the consignee has a Japanese importer, customs broker or tax arrangement and wants to handle import duties and consumption tax locally. Strictly speaking, DDU is an older trade term, while DAP is more common under modern Incoterms. However, many China-to-Japan freight conversations still use “DDU” to mean delivery without prepaid import tax.
- The consignee has a Japanese importer or customs broker.
- The importer wants to pay Japan Consumption Tax and duty directly.
- The product requires special permits, certificates or inspection.
- The team cannot confirm FBA customs valuation risk before shipment.
- The seller does not want the logistics quotation to include import tax responsibility.
Why DDP Is Not Just “Tax Included”
Japan Customs states that importers must declare goods to the Director-General of Customs and obtain an import permit after examination and payment of customs duty and excise taxes where required. You can review the reference on the Japan Customs import procedures page.
Therefore, DDP is not simply “tax included.” Correct customs documents, importer structure, tax calculation, product compliance and final delivery arrangement must support the service.
08. Service Term Decision Guide: DDP, DAP/DDU, FBA Review or Port Pickup
Many importers ask whether Japan shipments should move by DDP, DAP/DDU, FBA customs valuation review or port pickup. The right answer depends on importer setup, tax responsibility, product compliance and delivery address. In addition, the best term may change when the cargo goes to Amazon FBA Japan instead of a normal business warehouse.
Which Service Term Fits Your Shipment?
| Situation | Recommended Term | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You want landed delivery with customs and tax reviewed in advance | DDP review | This option works when HS code, value, product compliance, ACP/IOR and delivery address are clear. |
| Your Japanese consignee has a customs broker | DAP / DDU | This option works better when the consignee wants to handle import tax and customs clearance locally. |
| Your goods go to Amazon FBA Japan | FBA delivery + ACP/IOR + customs valuation review | Sellers should not list Amazon as IOR, and FBA valuation may require extra review. |
| You only need the cargo to arrive at a Japan port | CIF / CFR / DAP port | This option fits consignees who handle arrival notice, customs and local trucking. |
| Your product needs permits or compliance documents | Case-by-case review | VoltFreight should not confirm DDP until the product compliance path is clear. |
In short, Japan delivery terms should follow the importer setup, not only the freight price.
09. Shipping from China to Amazon FBA Japan: IOR, ACP and Importer Rules
Shipping from China to Amazon FBA Japan is one of the most important China-to-Japan logistics scenarios. However, FBA Japan shipments require careful customs and importer planning before cargo leaves China.
Amazon Japan Should Not Be Listed as IOR
Amazon Seller Central states that Amazon cannot be an importer of record for FBA shipments. You can review the reference on the Amazon Japan overseas seller FAQ page.
This means importers should not list Amazon.co.jp as the importer on the Air Waybill, invoice or import documents. Also, a freight forwarder, courier company or delivery provider does not automatically become the importer of record. Before FBA cargo leaves China, the seller should confirm the correct IOR/ACP arrangement.
What ACP Means for Japan FBA
For overseas sellers that do not have a Japanese importer entity, an Attorney for Customs Procedures, often called ACP, may help support customs procedures in Japan. Nevertheless, ACP does not remove the need for accurate product information, declared value, tax responsibility or product compliance.
What We Check Before FBA Delivery
- Amazon shipment plan and assigned FBA warehouse
- FNSKU labels and carton labels
- Carton count, weight, dimensions and pallet requirements if applicable
- ACP/IOR arrangement
- Invoice value and product description
- Customs valuation method and valuation adjustment risk
- PSE, food, cosmetics, medical, wireless or battery compliance if applicable
- DDP, DAP or FBA customs valuation review scope
- Delivery appointment and Amazon receiving requirements
10. Amazon FBA Japan Delivery Checklist Before Shipment
FBA delivery is not only a transportation task. For example, a shipment may still face delays if labels, importer details, valuation documents or warehouse requirements are not ready. Therefore, sellers should confirm the checklist before cargo leaves China.
FBA Shipment Checklist
| FBA Item | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Amazon shipment plan | Amazon assigns the warehouse during shipment creation, so the forwarder should check routing after the shipment plan is available. |
| FBA warehouse code and address | The warehouse location affects delivery routing, trucking cost and appointment requirements. |
| FNSKU and carton labels | Incorrect labels may cause receiving delay, refusal or extra handling. |
| IOR / ACP arrangement | Sellers should not list Amazon as importer of record for FBA shipments. |
| Customs valuation | FBA inventory may need valuation review when no normal Japan buyer transaction exists at import. |
| Product compliance | PSE, food, cosmetics, wireless and battery products need review before booking. |
| Delivery appointment | Amazon receiving rules and appointment requirements can affect final delivery timing. |
11. FBA Customs Valuation: Deductive Valuation and DDP Adjustment Risk
For Amazon FBA Japan shipments, customs value can be more sensitive than normal B2B imports. Many overseas sellers ship their own inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers in Japan before Japanese buyers place orders. In this situation, Japan Customs may review whether the declared invoice value reflects the proper customs value.
What Is Deductive Customs Valuation?
Deductive customs valuation, officially referred to as the deductive value method, is a customs valuation method that Japan Customs may use when the primary transaction value method cannot apply. Under this method, customs value may start from the domestic selling price in Japan and then deduct certain costs, such as domestic transportation, insurance, duties, taxes and other allowable expenses. You can review the official customs reference on the Japan Customs valuation Q&A PDF.
This method can become relevant for some Japan FBA shipments because the goods may enter Japan before any normal sale transaction to a Japanese buyer. In that case, the Japan selling price, Amazon-related fees, domestic delivery cost, import duty, Japan Consumption Tax and other deductions may become part of the customs valuation review.
What Does “DDP Quote with Customs Valuation Adjustment Included” Mean?
In the China-to-Japan FBA logistics market, some sellers ask whether the DDP quote includes customs valuation adjustment risk. In plain English, this means whether the quoted DDP price already considers possible additional duty or Japan Consumption Tax if Japan Customs requires a higher customs value based on deductive customs valuation.
This does not mean under-declaration, tax avoidance or guaranteed customs clearance. Instead, it means both sides should clarify the customs valuation scope and possible tax adjustment responsibility before booking.
When FBA Customs Valuation Review Is Needed
- The shipment goes to Amazon FBA Japan and belongs to an overseas seller.
- No normal sale to a Japanese buyer exists at the time of import.
- The invoice value is much lower than the Japan selling price.
- The customer asks for DDP service with tax responsibility included.
- The product has a higher duty or consumption tax impact.
- The seller wants to reduce customs valuation disputes, tax adjustment risk or delivery delays.
12. Japan Customs Documents, JCT and RCEP Review
Japan customs documents should be prepared before cargo leaves China. Japan Customs states that an import declaration must include documents such as invoice, bill of lading or air waybill, insurance certificate, freight account, packing list, contracts and other documents where required. You can review the reference on the Japan Customs import clearance documents page.
Common Documents for Japan Import Clearance
- Commercial invoice with clear product description, quantity and value
- Packing list
- Bill of lading, Sea Waybill or Air Waybill
- Freight invoice or freight account when required
- Insurance certificate when applicable
- HS code or product classification
- Importer of Record or ACP information when required
- Certificate of origin or RCEP proof of origin when claiming preferential tariff
- Product photos, technical specifications and labels for regulated goods
- Permits, certificates or notifications for products under special laws
Japan Consumption Tax, Duty and Low-Value Import Rule
Japan Customs states that consumption tax applies at a 10% standard rate or an 8% reduced rate on imported or manufactured goods in Japan. You can review the reference on the Japan Customs tariff and duty system page.
Goods with a total customs value of 10,000 yen or less may qualify for customs duty and consumption tax exemption under Japan Customs rules. However, this exemption has exceptions. Therefore, importers should not use the low-value rule as a general tax-planning method for commercial shipments, repeated parcels or restricted goods.
RCEP Origin Review
For suitable Chinese-origin goods, RCEP may help reduce import duty when the product meets origin rules and procedural requirements. Japan Customs explains that claiming preferential tariff rates under the RCEP Agreement involves procedural steps and direct consignment requirements. You can review the reference on the Japan Customs RCEP guide.
13. Product Compliance Before Shipping: PSE, Food, Cosmetics and Batteries
Japan has strict product compliance requirements for many categories. Although a shipment may move physically without difficulty, importers can still face problems if the product needs special approval, labeling, notification or safety compliance.
Product Categories That Need Extra Review
- Electrical products and certain batteries that may fall under PSE rules.
- Food, food additives, tableware, containers and food-contact products.
- Cosmetics, quasi-drugs, medical-related products and health products.
- Wireless, Bluetooth, WiFi or radio-frequency products.
- Plants, seeds, wood products and agricultural materials.
- Liquids, powders, chemicals and dangerous goods.
- Children’s products, toys and baby products.
- Branded goods, used goods and high-value products.
PSE, Food and Plant-Related Products
METI states that Japan’s Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act regulates manufacture, import and sale of covered electrical appliances and materials, including designated product categories. You can review the reference on the METI PSE information page.
MHLW states that importers of food, food additives, apparatus, containers and packaging for sale or business use must submit import notification under the Food Sanitation Act. You can review the reference on the MHLW imported food safety page.
MAFF states that plants brought into Japan require a phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country and import inspection. You can review the reference on the MAFF plant quarantine page.
14. Shipping Cost from China to Japan: Why Close Distance Does Not Mean One Fixed Price
The shipping cost from China to Japan depends on delivery scenario, shipping method, cargo weight, CBM, chargeable weight, China pickup city, Japan entry point, tax scope, product compliance, final delivery address and whether the shipment needs DDP, DAP/DDU, FBA delivery or customs valuation review.
Main Cost Factors
| Cost Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Delivery scenario | FBA, Rakuten warehouse, business address, port pickup and DDP use different cost logic. |
| Shipping method | LCL, FCL, air, express, DDP and DAP/DDU price differently. |
| China pickup city | Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yiwu, Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao and Tianjin have different pickup costs. |
| Japan entry point | Tokyo/Yokohama, Osaka/Kobe, Nagoya and Fukuoka fit different delivery regions. |
| Product compliance | PSE, food, cosmetics, medical, wireless and battery products may require extra review. |
| Tax and duty | Japan Consumption Tax, import duty, RCEP preference and customs valuation can change landed cost. |
| FBA valuation | Customs valuation adjustment scope may affect DDP quotation for Amazon FBA Japan shipments. |
| Final delivery | Warehouse appointment, FBA delivery, truck restrictions and remote area delivery can change the quote. |
Why We Do Not Publish One Fixed DDP Rate
A fixed public DDP price may look convenient, but it can mislead importers because Japan customs cost depends on HS code, declared value, product compliance, importer setup, Japan Consumption Tax, duty, customs valuation method and final delivery address.
For Amazon FBA Japan, the quotation scope also needs to clarify whether it includes possible customs valuation adjustment. Therefore, VoltFreight prepares China-to-Japan quotes based on real cargo details, not one fixed price for every product.
Meanwhile, this approach helps importers avoid comparing an incomplete freight price with a real landed-cost quotation.
15. Shipping from China to Japan: Time and Delivery Areas
Shipping time from China to Japan depends on pickup time, warehouse handling, sailing schedule, flight space, customs clearance, product compliance, FBA appointment, delivery address and whether the shipment uses sea freight, air freight, express courier, DDP or DAP/DDU.
Estimated Transit Time by Service
| Service Type | Planning Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Express Courier | About 2-5+ days depending on product type, carrier and customs | Documents, samples and small urgent parcels |
| Air Freight to Japan | About 2-6+ days depending on flight space, airport and customs | Urgent cargo, spare parts and high-value goods |
| LCL Sea Freight | About 5-14+ days port-to-port, with longer timing for customs and door delivery | Small commercial cargo and regular replenishment |
| FCL Sea Freight | About 4-12+ days port-to-port, with longer timing for customs and door delivery | Container cargo and stable inventory |
| DDP Sea / Air | Case by case | Shipments requiring tax, customs, ACP/IOR and final delivery review |
| Amazon FBA Japan Delivery | Case by case | Depends on customs, valuation review, FBA labels and warehouse appointment |
Main Delivery Regions
- Kanto: Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Chiba and Saitama for FBA, e-commerce stock, business delivery and air freight through Narita or Haneda.
- Kansai: Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Hyogo for western Japan distribution through Osaka, Kobe or Kansai Airport.
- Chubu: Nagoya, Aichi, Gifu, Mie and Shizuoka for industrial cargo, machinery, auto parts and warehouse delivery.
- Kyushu: Fukuoka, Hakata, Moji and Kitakyushu for western Japan and regional delivery.
- Hokkaido: Sapporo and other Hokkaido destinations may require domestic transfer and remote-area review.
16. FAQ: Shipping from China to Japan
Can I ship DDP from China to Japan?
Yes, VoltFreight can review DDP shipping from China to Japan for suitable cargo. However, our team must check HS code, invoice, declared value, product compliance, Japan Consumption Tax, import duty, ACP/IOR arrangement and final delivery address before confirming DDP scope.
What is the difference between DDP and DAP/DDU for Japan?
DDP usually includes import tax and delivery responsibility after review. By contrast, DAP or DDU means the forwarder delivers to an agreed place, while the consignee or importer usually handles import duty, consumption tax and customs clearance locally.
Can Amazon Japan be the importer of record for FBA shipments?
No. Amazon Seller Central states that Amazon cannot be an importer of record for FBA shipments. Therefore, sellers should prepare the correct IOR or ACP arrangement before shipping inventory to Amazon FBA Japan.
What is deductive customs valuation for Amazon FBA Japan?
Deductive customs valuation may use the Japan domestic selling price as the starting point and deduct allowable domestic costs, duties and taxes to calculate customs value. In some cases, it matters when FBA goods enter Japan before a normal sale to a Japanese buyer.
Does a Japan FBA DDP quote include customs valuation adjustment?
It depends on the quotation scope. Some DDP quotes may include possible customs valuation adjustment, while others may exclude additional duty or Japan Consumption Tax if Japan Customs requires a higher customs value. Therefore, this point should be confirmed before booking.
Can RCEP reduce import duty when shipping Chinese goods to Japan?
Possibly. RCEP may reduce import duty for eligible Chinese-origin goods when the product meets origin rules, direct consignment requirements and documentation requirements. As a result, it should be reviewed by HS code before shipment.
What documents are needed for Japan customs clearance?
Common documents may include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, sea waybill or air waybill, freight account, insurance certificate when applicable, HS code, importer or ACP details, certificate of origin or RCEP proof of origin when applicable, and product certificates or permits when required.
Can you deliver to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka or Sapporo?
Yes, VoltFreight can review delivery to Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sapporo and other Japanese destinations. Final delivery depends on cargo size, service term, customs clearance, warehouse appointment and local trucking access.
