Navigating your way through international export with a freight forwarder from the USA and UK/EU to Amazon Japan
Amazon Japan is one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms, offering consumers a wide range of products and services. Exporting to Amazon Japan can be a great opportunity for businesses looking to expand their reach into international markets. However, it also comes with its own set of challenges such as dealing with complex customs regulations, language barriers, and transportation costs. In order to successfully export goods from the USA and UK/EU to Amazon Japan, it’s important to carefully research potential freight forwarders that specialize in this type of shipping. A reliable freight forwarder can make all the difference when navigating these complexities and ensure successful exports.
Which Freight Forwarder to Use?
When researching freight forwarders to use for exporting goods from the USA and UK/EU to Amazon Japan, it’s important to compare and evaluate their capabilities. Start by making a list of potential companies and contact each one about their services. Ask questions such as what type of shipments they specialize in, if they offer any discounts or incentives, and how long shipping times are typically. Be sure to ask them about any additional fees that may be applicable including customs duties, taxes, and insurance costs. Additionally, consider whether the company has experience with international shipping as well as how customer service is handled in case something goes wrong during transit. Ideally the freight forwarder, such as Crossborder Logistics will already have experience shipping to Japan FCs.
Finally, make sure that all necessary paperwork is taken care of properly before sending off your shipment; this includes obtaining proper permits/certificates required for importing/exporting certain types of goods into Japan.
