Shanghai duty-free international moving to Tokyo, Japan

Service Route: Shanghai to Tokyo;
Service Mode: Door-to-door one-stop moving service;
Case Overview: Mr. Yuan commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship his entire home's furniture from Shanghai to Tokyo, Japan by sea.

Having obtained his Japanese Residence Card, Mr. Yuan planned to move all the furniture from his Shanghai home to his new home in Tokyo—his European-style large sofa, sideboard, coffee table, and marble dining table were all beloved pieces he had used for years. He was worried that the marble might be fragile and unable to withstand the bumps of ocean shipping, and also unsure about customs clearance rules for new immigrants. After comparing several companies, he chose Seapoe Relo's door-to-door one-stop service.

Step 1: Customized Plan, Unlocking Tax-Free Benefits in Advance
At the initial consultation, the dedicated consultant first helped Mr. Yuan sort out the item list and customized a cost-effective shipping plan. The consultant also helped Mr. Yuan plan for Japan's tax-free sea freight policy for new immigrants: applying for tax-free customs clearance for personal used household goods and planning the entry procedures in advance could directly save a sum in taxes and fees.

Step 2: On-Site Packing, Maximum Protection for Marble
On packing day, Seapoe's professional packing team came to Mr. Yuan's home and provided thorough protective packaging for large furniture such as the sofa. The highlight was the marble dining table:
1. First, the legs were disassembled and wrapped separately;
2. The tabletop was first wrapped skin-tight with soft white cotton paper to prevent scratches;
3. Then multi-layer thickened pearl cotton was wrapped around it as a cushioning layer;
4. Customized anti-collision corner protectors were added to all four right angles;
5. Finally, a tailor-made fumigation-free plywood wooden crate was built, with the interior filled with cushioning cotton to secure it firmly;
6. The crate was prominently marked "Fragile, Do Not Stack."

Fun fact: Seapoe can normally transport marble furniture, but insurance companies do not provide coverage for it. Therefore, we raised the protection level to the maximum to reduce the risk of damage from the packing stage onward.

Step 3: Customs Declaration and Ocean Shipping, Fully Transparent and Trackable
After all furniture and items were transported back to the warehouse, they underwent a second inventory check and reinforcement, with 30 days of free storage. After booking, the shipping schedule was synced immediately, and the entire logistics progress could be tracked in real time on Seapoe's customer order page.

Step 4: Tax-Free Customs Clearance, Door Delivery and Move-In Ready
After the goods arrived in Tokyo, dedicated staff and vehicles delivered them to the door at the agreed time. Upon arrival, they moved the furniture directly inside and placed it in position. They also helped assemble the dining table that had given Mr. Yuan such a headache, removed all packaging, and cleaned it all away. The new home was ready to move into with hardly any tidying up.

After the inspection, Mr. Yuan exclaimed how worry-free it was: the marble dining table he had been most concerned about arrived intact, and the tax-free clearance was handled smoothly. When it comes to cross-border moving, choosing the right professional team means even the largest furniture can sail across the ocean safely~
