Customs Clearance at all Major Ports

In addition to customs clearance services at the Port of Yokohama, customs clearance services can be provided at major ports throughout Japan, including Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.

Experienced customs brokers offer the best customs clearance plans for their cargo and other requirements.
We are familiar with the latest information and regulations for each port to ensure prompt and smooth customs clearance.

We provide a wide range of support for the import and export of a wide range of cargoes, ranging from general to special cargoes.

General Port Transportation Services

For container operations handled by our company at the Port of Yokohama, we, as a “general stevedore,” act as the “prime contractor” for the shipper and can request a “work company (cargo handling at the port head area)” to perform the work.

If requested, we can witness the work on behalf of the shipper to respond promptly to any complaints received on the landing side.
