Case Overview: Mr. Yu entrusted Hippo International to transport his furniture items from his home in Qingdao to Yokohama by sea.

The vibrant, modern city of Yokohama has come to epitomize the fusion of Japan and Chinese and Western traditions. Whether you want to savor delicious food, explore culture and history to your heart's content, or take in the breathtaking scenery, this city, known as the Pearl of Japan, caters to immigrants of all nationalities. The Yokohama Chinese Quarter, which has been gradually formed over half a century, is the largest Chinese street in Japan and carries the history of the struggles of overseas Chinese in Japan.

Mr. Yu, who lives in Qingdao, recently prepared to move to Yokohama, Japan. Mr. Yu was introduced by his old Chinese friends there and chose Hipu International Moving. Mr. Yu was going to ship some of his furniture and personal belongings to Japan and some new furniture from China to Yokohama, which was estimated to be 8-9 square feet in total. Hipu consultant customized the shipping plan according to Mr. Yu's belongings, and it was the most cost-effective to go for LCL shipping. Qingdao and Japan are separated by the sea, so the timeframe would not be too slow.

On the agreed date, after packing all the furniture and luggage, the masters first transported Mr. Yu's furniture items to the Hippo warehouse, waiting for the collection of goods to be completed and then loaded together with the container to the port. The new furniture was mailed directly to Hippo's warehouse in China, where it can be collected for free, inspected and provided with 30 days free storage service to ensure that the new furniture purchased by Mr. Yu was in perfect condition before changing to the professional international transport packaging.Below is the packing site:

There have been a lot of Chinese moving to Japan, and how to clear customs duty-free has become a common concern.

Japan's duty-free customs clearance conditions:
1.Chinese passport + Japan for more than one year long-term visa (work visa / resident card)
2.Japanese passport + Chinese long-term visa for more than one year
3.Transportation of items that you have used and within 6 months of going to Japan, items to be cleared at the port of entry

In addition to your passport and visa, you will be required to pick up a baggage rear arrival form (commonly known as a small yellow card) at a Chinese airport, fill in the information about your belongings and personal data, and have it stamped at the customs desk upon arrival at a Japanese airport. The original Little Yellow Card is required for customs clearance in order to apply for duty-free clearance.
