We will be targeting businesses that own their own trucks (excluding regular services) and act as intermediaries. Depending on the region, the criteria for cancellation fees may vary, so we will select businesses that are as close as possible to the transportation methods of our transport customers. We will request companies that can provide timely communication regarding departures, arrivals, and any issues that arise with product abnormalities. Additionally, to ensure stable vehicle availability, we will contract with multiple companies that own trucks capable of handling spot requests and those that act as intermediaries for transportation. 【Criteria for our requests】 ■ Is there a truck available for arrangement? ■ Can they handle the required regions and times? ■ Is transportation insurance adequate? ■ Can they provide timely communication in case of issues? ■ Can they accommodate sudden orders or changes? ■ Do they own and can they arrange the necessary types of trucks? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We are looking for a contractor that can handle the requested work. Ideally, we prefer local contractors over larger companies for cost considerations. Additionally, since we deal with products, communication is extremely important. Contractors tend to prioritize the work, and there are times when they postpone communication even if issues arise, so we request contractors who can provide timely updates. Furthermore, regarding costs, there can be differences in fees depending on the working hours, products, and the warehouse used. The basis for calculation requires information such as size (length, width, height), weight, total quantity, work content, and storage duration. 【Criteria we consider when making requests】 ■ Is it a product that can be handled? ■ Is it in a region that can be serviced? ■ Is there no issue with quality? ■ Is the contractor able to communicate in a timely manner? ■ Can they respond to sudden orders or changes? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In selecting customs brokers, we prioritize local companies that are rooted in the region. Based on experience, a significant reason is that local companies can handle integrated operations such as customs clearance, warehousing, and transportation. Additionally, it is extremely important that their response to inquiries via phone or email is prompt. Brokers with poor response times tend to make inquiries just before the arrival date or customs declaration, increasing the risk of delays, so we try to avoid requesting their services whenever possible. Regarding customs pricing, I believe there is not a significant difference in amounts among brokers, but it tends to vary depending on the number of competing brokers at each port. 【Criteria we consider when requesting services】 ■ Can they handle maritime and air transport? ■ Can they manage the products? ■ Is it a region where they can handle operations themselves? ■ Are they a broker that responds quickly in advance? ■ Are they knowledgeable about customs and have extensive product knowledge? ■ Do they have no unnecessary questions? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

For spot shipments, we request a local forwarder, but for regular cargo that involves various overseas locations, we need to prioritize requesting a forwarder that can handle all regions. Additionally, it is very important that responses via phone and email are prompt. Especially in the case of overseas shipments, due to time differences, there may be situations where only a few exchanges can occur during Japanese working hours, so caution is necessary. Furthermore, when requesting quotes, if the cost is low but the response is poor, we will opt for a slightly more expensive service provider with good response capabilities. 【Criteria we consider when making requests】 ■ Whether they can handle the region ■ Whether the transportation schedule, frequency, and duration are acceptable ■ Whether they are a flexible provider with quick responses ■ Whether they have support for variable costs ■ Whether they utilize multiple companies and shipping lines *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
