Dalian to Tokyo international moving

Customer Information: Mr. Zhang;
Shipping Route: Moving from Dalian to Tokyo, Japan;
Case Summary: Mr. Zhang from Dalian shipped furniture and luggage by sea to Tokyo, Japan.

Japan is geographically close to China and shares similarities in lifestyle and cultural customs, attracting a large number of Chinese people to relocate there. Kanagawa Prefecture is one of Japan's first-level administrative divisions and forms part of the Greater Tokyo Area, one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas. Kanagawa's population is second only to Tokyo and Osaka, making it a vibrant place with a continuously growing economy and abundant natural environments and tourism resources.

Mr. Zhang from Dalian needed to ship some personal belongings to Tokyo, Japan, and chose Seapoe Relo through a friend's recommendation. After preliminary communication and an on-site assessment, Seapoe staff provided a reasonable moving plan. Mr. Zhang had no objections and signed a cooperation contract to prepare for the international move. Recently, Seapoe staff went to Mr. Zhang's residence in Dalian to pack his personal belongings for shipment to Tokyo, Japan. Below is the packing scene from that day:

There are two main shipping methods for moving from Dalian to Japan: air freight and sea freight. If you have few items, you can choose air freight; if you have many items exceeding 1 cubic meter, you can choose sea freight for your move to Japan. Mr. Zhang had many items for this move, so he chose sea freight. However, sea freight moving to Japan offers three service modes: port-to-port, door-to-door, and door-to-door with dual customs clearance. Port-to-port means collecting the packed items on-site and arranging ocean shipping, with service ending at the destination country's port; door-to-door means collecting the packed items on-site, arranging ocean shipping, handling customs clearance in both the origin and destination countries, and delivering to the doorstep in the destination country; door-to-door with dual customs clearance builds on the door-to-door service by adding multiple value-added services such as placing items in position, reassembling simple used furniture, and removing and disposing of packing waste. To save effort and hassle, Mr. Zhang chose the door-to-door with dual customs clearance service.
