Services
Ocean and air freight from every major Japanese gateway, licensed customs brokerage, domestic trucking, bonded warehousing and project cargo. Book one piece or the whole chain.
Service 01
Ocean Freight
FCL and LCL sailings out of Yokohama, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe to the major container hubs.
We hold space with carriers on the Asia–Europe, transpacific and intra-Asia trades, which means your booking is confirmed against real allocation rather than a rate sheet. Full container loads move door to door or port to port; part loads are consolidated weekly at our container freight stations in Yokohama and Osaka. Every booking includes the export declaration, the bill of lading and the arrival notice at destination.
- Weekly LCL consolidations from Yokohama and Osaka
- FCL in 20ft, 40ft, 40ft high cube and reefer equipment
- Port-to-port, port-to-door and full door-to-door terms
- Bill of lading, packing list and certificate of origin handled in-house
Service 02
Air Freight
Consolidated and express air cargo from Narita, Haneda, Kansai and Chubu Centrair.
For cargo that cannot wait for a vessel, we book on scheduled passenger and freighter services from all four of Japan's main cargo gateways. As an IATA accredited agent we issue our own air waybills, which removes a handling step and usually a full day from the transit. Temperature-controlled, lithium battery and dangerous goods shipments are accepted with the correct declarations prepared by our certified staff.
- Next-flight-out and standard consolidated services
- IATA dangerous goods and lithium battery documentation
- Temperature-controlled and pharmaceutical handling
- Airport-to-airport or full door-to-door with customs included
Service 03
Domestic Road Freight
Trucking across all four main islands, from single pallets to full trailer loads.
Our domestic network runs from Hokkaidō to Kyūshū, feeding cargo into the ports and airports we sail and fly from. Pre-carriage and on-carriage are booked as part of the same job number as the international leg, so there is one reference, one point of contact and one invoice. Drayage to and from the Keihin and Hanshin port areas is handled by our own contracted fleet.
- Nationwide coverage including Hokkaidō and Okinawa ferry links
- Container drayage in the Keihin and Hanshin port areas
- Pallet-level part loads and dedicated full loads
- Tail-lift, crane-equipped and low-bed vehicles on request
Service 04
Customs Brokerage
Licensed Japanese customs clearance for exports and imports, filed through NACCS.
Customs is where most shipments lose days. Our licensed brokers file directly into NACCS, Japan's automated cargo clearance system, and our AEO status means low-risk consignments are released faster and inspected less often. We classify goods to HS code, apply the correct free trade agreement where one exists, and handle temporary imports, re-exports and duty drawback.
- Export and import declarations filed through NACCS
- AEO status for expedited release and reduced inspection
- HS classification, valuation and origin certification
- CPTPP, RCEP and Japan–EU EPA preference claims
Service 05
Warehousing & Fulfilment
Bonded and general storage with pick, pack and order fulfilment for overseas sellers.
Overseas companies selling into Japan use our warehouses as their local stock position, and Japanese exporters use them to hold cargo until a vessel or a buyer is ready. Bonded space lets you defer duty until goods actually enter the domestic market. Stock levels, inbound receipts and outbound orders are visible to you in real time, and orders received before 14:00 JST ship the same day.
- 46,000 m² across Yokohama, Osaka and Fukuoka
- Bonded space for duty deferral and re-export
- Pick, pack, kitting, labelling and returns processing
- Same-day despatch on orders placed before 14:00 JST
Service 06
Project & Heavy Cargo
Out-of-gauge machinery, plant and industrial equipment moved on breakbulk and flat rack.
Machine tools, press lines, generators and construction plant do not fit a container and do not fit a standard process either. We survey the cargo, plan the route including bridge and road clearances, arrange the lifting gear and the permits, and supervise loading at origin. Marine insurance and a full method statement are prepared before anything moves.
- Route surveys, lift plans and permit applications
- Flat rack, open top, breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off
- On-site loading supervision and lashing certification
- All-risk marine cargo insurance arranged on request
