Benefits of having your goods shipped by a freight forwarder

Storage services before and after shipment are offered to importers. Delivery of goods is also done in accordance to the agreement between the freight forwarder company and the importer (you).

Process Behind Shipping from Japan To Singapore

When moving items from Japan to Singapore, there are multiple routes and options one can take. Here is an example of one of the methods M&P uses: After being engaged by you, we’ll arrange to send your items via sea freight. We work out the most economical route to send your items to Singapore’s port directly from a port nearby your side in Japan.

  • Step 1

    M&P will send (if necessary) you some packing materials, boxes, international custom forms to be filled up and returned and shipping labels to ship the items to the nearby warehouse.

  • Step 2

    After packing your belongings, a hired truck picks up the boxes and brings it to a warehouse for consolidation.

  • Step 3

    The goods are consolidated, as it is a Less Cargo Load (LCL) shipment, packed into a container and loaded onto the ship that will make its way to the States.

  • Step 4

    A few days prior to reaching the port, the ship’s captain will submit a report to the USA government on the type of vessel, crew and cargo it is carrying.

  • Step 5

    After receiving clearance to enter Singapore’s port, the container will be unloaded via large cranes.

  • Step 6

    At this point, custom officials will inspect selected containers to ensure the contents adhere to the information on the submitted documents.

  • Step 7

    Once clearance has been given, the container will be loaded onto a truck and trucked to an import distribution centre. The container will then be opened and the cargo will be separated and transported to their respective locations around the island.

  • Step 8

    Afterwards, you will receive your items to your door step via a local trucking service.
