International Sea Freight to Japan
As a freight forwarding firm based in the UK that is a member of BIFA – the British International Freight Association – you can turn to us with complete confidence when shipping commercial freight to Japan by sea. Please note that, at Barrington Freight, we only handle commercial shipments and not personal ones which means that we can offer a true B2B service to our customers. Our operations team is geared up to meet all of your business needs when shipping cargo, cartons or palletised goods to Japan in a cost-effective manner.
To begin with, we will collect your Japan-bound delivery for you from any location in the mainland UK. Simply ask our operations team to take care of the rest. Whether you have a full container load (FCL) of goods that need to get to Fukuoka in the south of the country or a couple of cartons of spare parts that have been ordered by a Japanese company in Sapporo in the north, we can help. We will collect consignments from your warehouse, stockroom or production facility and prepare the next stage of their journey from a suitable UK port for their onward transit to the Sea of Japan.
When exporting to Japan, sea freight lead times vary according to whether you have ordered an FCL or an LCL shipment. We will be able to provide you with progress updates as your goods pass through the Suez Canal and the Singapore Strait on their way to Japan. Please note that we can arrange for your shipment to be left at a Japanese container port, such as Osaka, Kobe, Tokyo or Fukuyama, ready for collection by your customer. However, if you would also like us to organise onward transit from the port of arrival to your customer’s address, we can do so. This service is available to British exportation firms sending goods to any location in Japan.
Export to Japan Successfully With Our Professionally Managed Sea Freight Services
Because Barrington Freight has a great deal of experience with international freight forwarding, our sea freight export service to Japan provides British companies with a great deal of convenience. Not only do we make trading with Japanese companies easier but we can also overcome some of the language barriers that tend to affect UK exporters with customers in the Far East.
In addition, we have plenty of know-how we can put at your disposal when it comes to exportation declarations. If your firm has never exported before, then we can help with your EORI registration, for instance. More experienced firms can also take advantage of our customs clearance work which is conducted in-house within the same operations team for even greater levels of efficiency.
