Shipping Process
Shipping Procedure
Most of our customers are not familiar with the procedure of shipping. Here you can find a brief description which help you to decide when is the best time for you to buy and send your cargoes to their destinations.
When a customer ordered a specific vehicle, Shipping Department starts shipping procedure immediately after Accounts department delivers your purchase documents to us.
Depending on the place of ordered vehicle it takes time for us to bring it to our Service Workshop especially if the vehicle was bought from auctions or warehouses far away from tokyo.
After receiving purchased vehicle in our service workshop our staff do a complete check up and make it ready for users. Since it has been on warehouse for long time this procedure also takes time and performed free of charge as one of Has-Nihon's unique services. Meanwhile our Document Department performs other important issues such as changing original registration certificate to export certificate and also our Shipment Department contact our agents to book your order in specific vessel.
All these procedures and many other details which are unnecessary to mention takes so much time specially in a country like japan where is full of rules, regulations, bureaucracy and paperwork but Has-Nihon's excellent management and better negotiation with other parties reduce these time consuming processes to 10 days.
Now we can assure our customers if they order their desired vehicles 10 days before CUT Date (CUT date usually is one week before ETD) they certainly find it onboard but please consider our 10 days record is the minimum period you should order your cargoes. If you buy your desired items in less than 10 days before cut date unfortunately you have no way unless wait for next vessel so please ask to our Shipment Department for every weeks shipping information.
Our Shipment Department will e-mail you a Pre Shipment alert asking confirmation of the consignee details, port of destination, and any repair/installment work required and if you need any other documents for custom purpose.
