Case Summary: Mr. Zhang of Ningbo entrusted "熙浦国际搬家" to ship some furniture to Osaka, Japan.

In recent years, Japan—an Asian country closer to China with a more similar lifestyle—has gradually caught the attention of people considering emigration. With free education, leading healthcare, and a comprehensive welfare system, Japan has become the top destination for emigrants. Osaka, with its long cultural history, is Japan's second-largest city and a comprehensive international metropolis, in no way inferior to Tokyo in terms of prosperity and fashion. With clean roads, tidy streets, and excellent air quality, Osaka overall gives people a comfortable, livable feeling. Compared with living in Tokyo, Osaka's cost of living is relatively lower, and combined with its quality educational resources and enviable medical standards, many people have moved to Osaka.

Mr. Zhang of Ningbo is moving to Osaka, Japan, and plans to bring some furniture from his home in China. He chose "熙浦" as his service provider for moving furniture and belongings from Ningbo, China to Osaka, Japan. The process of moving to Osaka is lengthy and complex, and international moving also involves the customs of both countries—something difficult to accomplish on one's own. As a senior member of an international moving association with years of service experience, "熙浦" developed a reasonable moving plan based on Mr. Zhang's needs: door-to-door packing and pickup, container loading and booking, customs declaration and ocean shipping, Japanese customs clearance, door delivery, placement in position, and removal of packing waste—a full end-to-end service that made this international move simple and truly worry-free and effortless for Mr. Zhang. To pack Mr. Zhang's belongings safely, "熙浦" provides professional packing services. A few days ago, "熙浦" staff brought professional packing materials to Mr. Zhang's home in Ningbo to pack the items to be shipped:

The documents required for customs clearance when moving to Osaka, Japan include: the original customs declaration form C5360 (with customs stamp), copies of family members' passports (including certificate, photo, and signature), a packing list/detailed item inventory in English or Japanese, the ocean bill of lading (OBL)/air waybill (AWB), and the keys/passwords for any locked luggage. In addition, when organizing consigned items, do not carry counterfeit goods such as brand-name knockoffs; if discovered by Japanese customs, the items will be confiscated and fined. In the above circumstances, the income will not be further pursued for legal liability, but if brought into the country with knowledge, it will undoubtedly constitute a criminal offense.
