Regular clothing, shoes, textbooks, stationery, phone accessories, home goods and non-battery small appliances are suitable for air freight.
Food, medicine, cosmetics, liquids, powders, blades, battery goods and high-value products need checks and declaration.
Tokyo, Osaka and other major cities have standard addresses and more stable delivery. Provide Japanese or English address, postcode, recipient name and local phone.
Air freight suits urgent small goods and study supplies, while bulky home goods need volumetric weight assessment.
Separate regular goods, sensitive goods and fragile items before consolidation. Books and clothes can be assessed together, while small electronics and cosmetics need separate checks.
Declare specific item names and quantities to reduce customs follow-up.
Many users ask the air freight price to Japan, but quotes combine actual weight, volumetric weight, category and destination, so estimate with the calculator first.
Choosing air or sea freight depends on urgency: urgent small goods go faster by air, while furniture and bulky supplies are cheaper by sea, see the Japan sea freight guide.
For restrictions, check food, medicine, cosmetics and battery goods in advance and handle regular, sensitive and fragile goods separately.
