Shipping Cost from China to Japan

Reference Prices by Lane

• Full containers (FCL): quoted on request

What Decides the Cost

• Weight or volume: you pay for the greater of actual and volumetric weight, L × W × H (cm) ÷ 6000. One cubic metre counts as 166.7 kg, so light, bulky cartons are billed on volume
• Minimums: sea DDP starts at 101 kg; air DDP at 21 kg per shipment, with each carton counted as at least 10 kg
• Cargo type: the reference prices are for general cargo; branded clothing, shoes, bags and hats are quoted separately
• Delivery area: Okinawa and Hokkaido carry a remote-area surcharge
• Duties included or not: DDP lanes include duty and consumption tax; sea LCL by the cubic metre does not
• Consolidation: goods from several suppliers received at one of our warehouses and shipped together usually cost less than separate shipments

Sea DDP Requirements

• Cartons with the three sides adding up to less than 160 cm, the longest side 90 cm at most, and up to 30 kg each
• One SKU per carton; mixed cartons are not accepted
• The purchase link and selling price of each product
• Shipments to a company consignee are quoted separately
