Shipping furniture and piano from Shanghai to Tokyo

Client Information: Ms. Wu;

Case Summary: Ms. Wu from Shanghai commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship some furniture and a piano to Tokyo, Japan.

Japan is geographically close to China, and its beautiful natural scenery has captured the attention of many Chinese people, with the number of tourists traveling to Japan increasing year by year. In recent years, there has also been a growing trend of Chinese people planning to immigrate to Japan, which is closely related to Japan's sound social welfare system.

Ms. Wu from Shanghai went to Tokyo, Japan to work and live, and before departure, she commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship some furniture and luggage from her Shanghai home to her residence in Tokyo, Japan. Ms. Wu did not have many items to ship: 1 bed and mattress, 2 bedside tables, a piano, a sofa, a chaise lounge, and a dining table with six chairs, totaling 13 cubic meters, which could be shipped to Japan via LCL sea freight. Before container loading and shipping, these items needed professional packing to prevent damage during transit. Seapoe Relo staff packed the items according to international moving packaging standards: first wrapping with cotton white paper, then with pearl cotton, and the outer layer with high-hardness cardboard cut to shape. Among Ms. Wu's items was a piano, which required a custom fumigation-free wooden crate for maximum protection:

Moving from Shanghai to Tokyo, Japan involves pickup and packing, cargo consolidation, customs declaration, container loading, customs clearance in Japan, cargo consolidation, and finally door delivery, taking approximately 1 to 2 months.

You can first list the items to be moved and, based on the advice of the international moving company, determine which items can be shipped and what shipping method to use. Last but most importantly, be sure to choose a professional international moving company to handle your shipment.
