The Port of Hakata is one of Japan’s major international ports linking areas in Japan to East Asia and various countries in other regions.

Our consistent service system enables us to provide services ranging from handling export/import containers, loading/unloading large refrigerator ships, delivery to customs clearance on shore.
Our customs clearance services are fast, accurate, and flexible
With the ongoing globalization of economies, tasks related to customs clearance have become more and more complex, and their scope has expanded.
Among freight transported from other countries, some are not accepted in Japan for economic and health reasons Therefore, such freight is strictly regulated by relevant laws of Japan. Accordingly, customs clearance requires the acquisition of permissions and approvals based not only on routine regulations related to customs duties, but various other regulations.
Similar consideration must also be given when exporting freight. Conditions to be met must be identified and dealt with quickly to conform with regulations of Japan and other countries. To fulfill this task, a transportation company must provide fast and accurate services supported by knowledge and experience.
At HAKATA UNYU, export and import processes are controlled efficiently by teams led by experienced registered customs specialists. Upon receiving an order from a consignor, they check the tariff by referring to relevant regulations. Then, they prepare the necessary documents, go through formalities, and deliver the freight.
Our advantageous location adjacent to the container yard, allows us to expedite freight-related businesses. We can also avail ourselves of dry warehouses for the temporary storage of freight. Furthermore, we can handle textile and chemical products that are generally assumed to be difficult to manage.
