FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does shipping from China to Japan take?
Transit times vary by mode: Air freight takes 2-4 days to Tokyo NRT and 3-5 days to Osaka KIX. Ocean FCL takes 7-12 days to Tokyo/Yokohama and 8-14 days to Osaka/Kobe. Ocean LCL adds 5-7 days for consolidation. Express air delivers in 1-2 days. Add 1-3 business days for Japan customs clearance and domestic delivery.
Air freight: $2.50-$5.50 per kg. Ocean FCL 20′: $800-$2,200 (Shanghai to Tokyo). Ocean FCL 40′: $1,200-$3,500. Ocean LCL: $25-$50 per CBM. Amazon FBA air: $3-$5 per kg. Peak season (August-November) rates can be 20-40% higher. All ExFreight quotes include origin charges, freight, and destination terminal handling.
All ocean shipments to Japan require an AMS (Advance Manifest System) filing submitted to Japan Customs before vessel departure. You need accurate HS codes, an import license, and a licensed customs broker (tsukan-shi). Japan EPA preferential tariffs may reduce duties on qualifying Chinese goods. Food and pharmaceutical imports require MHLW approval. ExFreight handles all Japan Customs filings.
China ports: Shanghai Yangshan, Shenzhen Yantian, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Qingdao, Xiamen. Japan ports: Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Hakata. Air routes: PVG→NRT, CAN→KIX, PEK→HND. Tokyo/Yokohama handles 45%+ of Japan-China ocean trade.
Yes, ExFreight is an Amazon SPN member. We handle factory pickup, export clearance, transit (air 2-4 days or ocean 8-14 days), Japan customs with AMS, and direct delivery to any Amazon Japan fulfillment center. We coordinate FBA appointments and ensure FNSKU compliance. Pallets: JIS T11 standard 1100x1100mm.
Japan EPA preferential tariffs offer reduced duties on qualifying goods under the RCEP agreement. They can lower standard MFN rates significantly. Check Japan Customs NACCS database for your HS codes. ExFreight assesses your total duty exposure and identifies applicable preferential rates.
The AMS (Advance Manifest System) requires cargo data submitted to Japan Customs at least 24 hours before vessel departure from the origin port. Required: shipper, consignee, HS codes, container details, and cargo description. Late filing causes customs holds and delivery delays. ExFreight submits AMS for all ocean freight customers at no extra charge.
Key strategies: consolidate shipments to maximize containers, book off-peak (March-July) for 15-30% savings, use FOB Incoterms, optimize packaging, compare Tokyo vs Osaka routing. ExFreight instant rate comparison shows all options.
