I had an outstanding experience with M&P International Freight from start to finish. A special thank you to Kris and Christy for their excellent and exceptional customer service throughout the entire process. We relocated from Singapore to Dubai, and our air freight shipment was handled professionally, with clear communication and great attention to detail. Kris and Christy were always responsive, proactive, and reassuring, making what could have been a stressful international move feel seamless. Our belongings arrived safely at our new home in Dubai with a true door-to-door service, exactly as promised. Everything was delivered efficiently and in excellent condition. I highly recommend M&P International Freight to anyone looking for a reliable international moving and freight company. Thank you, Kris and Christy, for going above and beyond. Your professionalism and dedication made all the difference.

I had a very positive experience working with M&P International Freights for my recent import shipment into Singapore. A special mention goes to Nick, who managed the entire process from start to finish with exceptional professionalism. Importing goods can often be complicated, especially when dealing with customs clearance requirements, GST documentation, and coordinating delivery timelines. Nick took care of everything and made the process remarkably smooth. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions throughout the shipment journey. What impressed me most was how proactive he was in keeping me informed at every stage. All the necessary paperwork was handled correctly, there were no unexpected delays at customs, and my shipment arrived safely at my Singapore address exactly as scheduled. It’s rare to find such reliable and customer-focused service these days. I would not hesitate to use their services again and highly recommend both the company and Nick to anyone looking for a dependable freight forwarding partner.

Excellent service and very responsive team The customer service was top-notch from start to finish. I enquired on behalf of my boss and a customer to ship items from Singapore to Japan, Korea, and Thailand. They assigned 3 dedicated staff, one for each country, so I always had the right person to speak to. Each team member gave clear, detailed explanations and guided us through the whole process, which made it very stress-free. Special shoutout to Raymond who even followed up personally to check if the items were ready for pickup. Looking forward to a smooth shipping process. 😊

We have been using M and P for many years because of their competitive rates and more importantly, reliable service. We deal with medical devices, so it is important that import permits are always declared correctly to avoid delays due to customs inspection. M and P has been doing a good job for us in that respect.

I shipped several large pieces of furniture from China (Taobao) to Singapore via M&P in Sep 2025. Raymond who assisted me was very patient and explained the process clearly. My multiple orders were consolidated before shipment. Shipment to Singapore was fast (around a week) once all orders are ready. In Singapore, delivery to my apartment was done professionally. Workers were very helpful. Overall, I had very pleasant experience working with Raymond and M&P. Communication was clear and timely. Will use their services again and recommend to those around me.

Shipping From Japan to Singapore

If you’re in search of a reliable freight forwarder for shipping your items from Japan to Singapore, you’ve come to the right place! With over 15 years of experience, M&P International Freights has provided customers with personalised services at competitive rates. 

 

Read on to find out more about the types of goods that we can ship from Japan to Singapore and how our shipping process works!

COST OF SHIPPING FROM JAPAN TO SINGAPORE

The shipping rates will depend on the mode of transport selected. 

 

If you’re opting for sea freight, the cost of shipping your cargo is dependent on the sea freight rate. On average, prices can range from $135–$270 per CBM.

 

For air shipments, the cost will be determined by multiplying the air freight rate by the actual or volume weight of your goods. In general, prices for air freight start from $10 per 500g, with small packages (1–2kg) costing between $30 and $50.

 

Contact us now to get an accurate shipping quote!

It takes around 2 weeks to ship goods by sea and about 1 – 3 days to ship by air. 

 

However, if your shipment is done during a public holiday in Japan or Singapore, do expect a time lag.

Bilateral trade between Japan and Singapore has led to Singapore being an ardent importer of Japanese exports which include:

 

  • Electronic and technical equipment
  • Petroleum products, especially oil
  • Machinery, steel and iron products
  • Gems
  • Precious metals
  • Vehicles
  • Medical equipment and chemicals, among many others
  • Personal effects, like luggages
In addition to illegal goods, here are some items to avoid as they are prohibited for import into Singapore.
Ammunition

Counterfeits

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.
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.
After packing your belongings, a hired truck picks up the boxes and brings it to a warehouse for consolidation.
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.
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.
After receiving clearance to enter Singapore’s port, the container will be unloaded via large cranes.
At this point, custom officials will inspect selected containers to ensure the contents adhere to the information on the submitted documents.
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.
Afterwards, you will receive your items to your door step via a local trucking service.

LOWEST RATES

You can pick your preferred shipping method depending on your budget. Sea freight is considered one of the cheapest forms of transportation. It’s charged based on the sea container rate, whereas air freight is charged based on the weight of your goods. You can hence ship a wider variety of weighted goods at competitive rates.

EXPERIENCE AND SKILLFUL

Freight forwarders are often equipped with the right knowledge, skills and expertise to provide the best shipping services. As experts in the industry, they’ll know the best practices. You can expect a peace of mind as these professionals will do their best to meet your expectations.

SHIPPING ANYWHERE

Shipping services cover most of the international seaports and terminals. This allows a wider coverage for goods to be shipped around. Transshipment services are also available to various smaller seaports and terminals via feeder vessels & barges and inland via rail. Our shipping routes include:

 

PUNCTUAL SHIPPING

Professional forwarders will choose the best vessel and the most appropriate route to ensure good arrive in time and in the right condition. This helps avoid business disruption usually caused by goods arriving late or damaged.

GREAT INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Freight forwarders also provide inventory management to ensure that the correct items are collected, securely stored and delivered. 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).

INSURANCE SERVICE

Freight forwarders offer insurance services which are necessary during transit. Insurance for the cargo been shipped is essential in case of any mishaps. Taking an appropriate policy and handling the documents involved is tedious but by engaging a freight forwarder, it eases the liability of the importer.

NEGOTIATING POWER

Freight forwarders can negotiate for the most evenhanded rates to be charged. Their wide coverage and networks help to fetch for the best shipment charges that are affordable and cheapest for you.

SHIP ANYTHING YOU WANT

Sea freight is able to carry tons of goods from seaports or terminals to another due to the large container sizes that are available for choosing from different shipping companies.

SAVES TIME

Shipments will be fully handled by the freight forwarders engaged, which will give you the time to concentrate on other areas of your business.

Sea freight is usually much more cost-efficient when it comes to shipping large amounts of goods. 

 

However, air freight may be a cheaper alternative for smaller shipments.

No tax is levied on exports.

All goods brought into Singapore are subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the current rate of 9% on the total value of your shipment.
