Case Overview: Mr. Yu commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship furniture and personal belongings from his home in Qingdao to Yokohama, Japan by sea.
Yokohama, a vibrant modern city, has gradually become a microcosm of the blend between Japanese and traditional Chinese and Western cultures. Whether you want to savor delicious cuisine, fully explore culture and history, or take in magnificent scenery, this city hailed as the pearl of Japan can meet the needs of immigrants from all over the world. The Yokohama Chinatown, which took shape gradually over half a century, is the largest Chinatown in Japan and carries the history of the struggles of overseas Chinese residing in Japan.
Mr. Yu, who lives in Qingdao, recently prepared to move to Yokohama, Japan. Introduced by an old Chinese friend there, he chose "熙浦国际搬家". Mr. Yu planned to ship part of his furniture and personal belongings to Japan by sea, and also intended to buy some new furniture in China to ship to Yokohama together, with an estimated total volume of 8-9 cubic meters. The Seapoe consultant customized a shipping plan based on Mr. Yu's belongings, and LCL sea freight was the most cost-effective option. Qingdao and Japan face each other across the sea, so the transit time would not be too slow either.
On the agreed date, after all furniture and luggage were packed, the movers first transported Mr. Yu's furniture and belongings to the Seapoe warehouse, waiting for consolidation to be completed before loading them into the container together and shipping them to the port. The new furniture was mailed directly to Seapoe's warehouse in China, which offers free receiving, inspection, and 30 days of free storage, ensuring that the new furniture Mr. Yu purchased was intact before being repackaged in professional international shipping packaging.

There have always been many Chinese people moving to Japan, and how to clear customs duty-free has become a topic of common concern.
The conditions for duty-free customs clearance in Japan are as follows:
1. Chinese passport + long-term visa for Japan of more than one year (work visa/residence card)
2. Japanese passport + long-term visa for China of more than one year
3. Shipping items you have used yourself, and the items must arrive at the port for customs clearance within 6 months of going to Japan
In addition to your passport and visa, you also need to obtain a baggage declaration form (commonly known as the little yellow card) after collecting your luggage at the Chinese airport, fill in the item information and personal details, and have it stamped at the customs service desk after arriving at the Japanese airport. The original little yellow card must be provided during customs clearance in order to apply for duty-free clearance.
