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 differ, 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 departure, arrival, 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 region and time required? ■ Is transportation insurance adequate? ■ Are they capable of timely communication in case of issues? ■ Can they accommodate sudden orders or changes? ■ Do they own and can they arrange the types of trucks needed? *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 a local contractor rather than a large company, considering cost factors. 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 and frequent updates. Furthermore, regarding costs, there are 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 period. 【Criteria we consider when making requests】 ■ Is it a product that can be handled? ■ Is it in a region that can be serviced? ■ Are there any quality issues? ■ 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, local companies can handle integrated operations such as customs clearance, warehousing, and transportation, which is a significant reason for our preference. Additionally, it is extremely important that their response times via phone and email are quick. 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 handle the products? ■ Are they in a region where we can manage operations ourselves? ■ 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 region-specific forwarder, but for regular cargo that involves various overseas locations, it is necessary 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 required. Furthermore, when requesting quotes, if the cost is low but the response is poor, we prefer to request a slightly more expensive service provider that has good response capabilities. 【Criteria we consider when making requests】 ■ Is the region manageable? ■ Are the transportation schedule, frequency, and duration acceptable? ■ Is the provider flexible and responsive? ■ Is there support for variable costs? ■ Are multiple companies and shipping lines being utilized? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
