Once you place an order with us over phone or email.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.

*In most export and import cases, the customs inspection tends to be stricter in the destination country.
To avoid any issues upon arrival, it’s important to clearly inform the importer about the cargo details in advance.
Also, be sure to share the expected arrival schedule at the destination port.

Load cargo into a shipping container.
Cargo may be loaded using pallets or in bulk.

(In the case of CY)
This method is used when the entire ocean container is filled with your cargo only.After the cargo is loaded (vanned) at the warehouse, the container is delivered to the Container Yard (CY) for export.

For LCL shipments (Less than Container Load):
This is a shared container method where your cargo is shipped together with goods from other companies.
Even for smaller shipments, we can arrange delivery for you.
(Alternatively, you can bring your cargo directly to the CFS warehouse—a bonded warehouse specialized for LCL shipments.)

Customs documents are usually created by the exporter.
We can provide you with the format, so please contact us if you are unsure.

Our customs experts will make the export declaration to customs.

Once the B/L is issued, please use the B/L appropriately according to the contract with the importer.

Once you place an order with us, please make sure to obtain the necessary customs documents from the exporter, etc., in time for the ship’s arrival.

The shipping documents such as the Invoice, Packing List, and Bill of Lading (B/L) can typically be obtained after the ship has departed. However, receiving the cargo details as early as possible will help ensure a smoother declaration process.
Additionally, cargo photos and other related information are usually required.

Depending on the cargo, we will make arrangements such as applying for quarantine.

If you are in a hurry, we can also make advance declarations before the ship arrives.

We will deliver the cargo by drayage and truck to the delivery destination.

We also undertake various types of work when storing items in a warehouse and post-storage work, so please feel free to contact us.

If the delivery destination is too small to accommodate a container drayage, we can also transfer the product to a smaller truck for delivery.
