Shipping to China

When shipping personal items to China, it is diffrent from shipping to  other countries. While in many countries, a shipment can be cleared by the consignee ( the individual who is receiving the goods), in China a custom broker has to be used to custom clear shipments.  It takes much more days to custom clear the shipments compared with other countries.
When you ship something as small packages using the services of FedEx or DHL,  they can deliver to the consignee's door, however, they are not able to custom clear the shipments. They have to be cleared customs by the customs broker hired by the consignee. So, when you ship something to China, make sure that the consignee there knows about this and can use the services of some local customs broker. This shold be okay for experienced importors but companies or  individuals with no import/export may have difficulty once the shipment gets there.

Failure is.

Failure is just another way to learn how to do something right.  -Marian Wright

失敗とは正しいやり方を習得するもう一つの方法だ。マリアンライト

何かに成功している人たちというのは多くの場合トライして失敗して、うまくいく方法を見つけるものだ。　逆に何かに成功しようと思ったら、失敗して当たり前と思ってやってみる位の意気込みが必要なことといえる。

preparing your packing list

When shipping your personal staff internationally, you need to make a list of the contents in each box your shipping. This document is called packing list (some people call it "packing slip").
In packing list, you need to write the description of the goods, quantity, and the amount for each item.
This can be a time-consuming work but it does not have to be miticulous. It is not necessary to write the titles of the books although I notice some people actually do it.  Just brief descriptions like clothing, books, cd's, digital cameras would be fine.  However, descriptions as household goods, souvenirs, electric applicance would be way too general. If you make a detailed list, it wuold perhaps give customs offices a good impression that you are honest and customs clearance for your shipment is likely to go smoothly.  This document is  hard to submit before pickup of the shipment, so send it it to us by fax or email after your packages have been picked up hopefully  withing the day or the follwoing day. Packing list will be used for both customs clearance and insurance purposes.
We will send you forms and also a sample list at the time of booking.

Tansit time for sea shipments

Nowadays the transit time of ocean vessels are quite short. The transit time from Tokyo port to Long Beach port in California is about eleven days. For Asian destinations, it takes only several days.  However, note that it takes a number of days for sea shipments to be cleared customs, being loaded into containers, then the containers to vessles. In addition, the ship is available normally on a weekly basis, thus making the ocean shipments take long time in the end. Actual transit time from Tokyo to arrival Los Angels would be about three to four weeks or so.
Usually average transit times via sea are as follows (from pickup in Tokyo 23 wards area to arrival the final destination terminal excluding the time needed for taking the containers from the vessels to container yards then to container freight station which should take a few days) :

Los Angeles: 20 - 30 days
Sydney: 30 to 40 dadays
Melbourne: 35 to 45 days
Southamton(UK): 45 to 55 days

Motorcycles can be shipped via sea, however, please check the
regulations at the destination country well as in some countries
there are restrictions on import of motorcycles.
The United States, for example, do not allow the import of motor vehicles
which do not meet the EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) standards.
This EPA standards to restrict the import will apply to other goods
which may possibly pollute the air as well.   To be exported from Japan,
a document certifying that the motorcycle has been registered by the
local city office is required.  This serve as a proof that the motorcycle
belonged to the person who is shipping it and that it is not a stolen one.

Shipping appliation
Once you have decided to move with Jlugagge.com, please contact this
office by phone or email. We will then send you back a set of documents
including an application form and packing list. Our infromation packed is
quite comprehensive so that should normally answer all the questions
you may have but  if you have any questions, please contact us.
You can choose the date for pickup in your application form. Pickup
is availeble Monday through Friday but in some areas pickup on
Saturdays may be possible.  Please give us hopefully more than a week's
notice.  To custom clear your shipment and have your shipment insured,
a documents called "packing list" is required. In packing list, you need to
give description of the contents (for example, books, clothes, cd's etc) together
with declared value and quantiry for each item. We suggest that you make
a memo of the contents as you start packing because otherwise you would
need to open the boxes again and check the contets if you have already
sealed the packed before making the contents list. Although we provide you
with a packing list form, you can also make your own list using Microsoft
Word or Excell. The list will be used at the destination as well at the time
of customs clearance, so make a detailed list and the customs clearance
at the destination may be easier.
Another important document for shipping personal items is a copy of your
e-ticket. By showing a copy of your e-ticket, your shipment can be cleared
customs as "unaccompanied personal effects" for which less export regulation
will apply. If you are leaving Japan and returning to your home country,
there should be no problem but some people travel for a few months before
going home or we sometime receive inquiries from people who left Japan over
half a year ago. In such cases, please contact our office for advice.
