Air, sea and intra-Asia from Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe and Osaka to Turkey, Asia, Europe and the Americas. We manage your exports end-to-end — factory to final destination.
Japan's container trade clusters around three bays: Tokyo Bay (Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki) serving the Kanto region; Ise Bay (Nagoya) at the heart of the automotive Chubu region; and Osaka Bay (Kobe, Osaka) for Kansai. Together with the air gateways of Narita, Haneda, Kansai and Chubu, they connect Japan's manufacturing base — automobiles, machinery, electronics and precision goods — to every major market.
From Japan, transpacific sailings reach the US West Coast in 11–16 days; intra-Asia services reach China in 2–4 days and Korea in 1–2 days; air cargo reaches Istanbul and the European hubs in about a day; and sea freight to Europe and Turkey runs 28–38 days via Suez. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Japanese factories and distribution centers — customs, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.
Express and standard air cargo from Tokyo Narita (NRT), Haneda (HND), Osaka Kansai (KIX) and Nagoya Chubu (NGO). Best for time-sensitive, high-value or small-volume shipments such as electronics, semiconductors, auto parts and precision instruments. Door-to-door service including customs clearance at origin and destination.
FCL and LCL ocean freight from Tokyo (JPTYO), Yokohama (JPYOK), Nagoya (JPNGO), Kobe (JPUKB) and Osaka (JPOSA). Transpacific services to the Americas, intra-Asia to China, Korea and Southeast Asia, and long-haul to Europe and Turkey via Suez. 20' and 40' ISO containers — the most cost-effective option for vehicles, machinery and bulk consignments.
Fast short-sea and air services across Japan's busiest export region — to South Korea (Busan) in 1–2 days, China (Shanghai, Ningbo) in 2–4 days, and Southeast Asia in 5–10 days. Frequent sailings and daily air options for regional supply chains, with consolidation and full handling of customs at both ends.
Combined sea-air solutions and project and heavy-lift handling for the automotive, machinery and industrial sectors. Sea to a regional hub then air onward for a balance of cost and speed, or breakbulk and out-of-gauge cargo for equipment and machinery. We design the chain around your cargo and deadline.
Air freight from Tokyo (NRT/HND), Osaka (KIX) or Nagoya (NGO) reaches Istanbul and the main European hubs in about a day door-to-door. Sea freight is the most economical mode for volume, but the route to Europe and Turkey is long: Japan to North Europe (Rotterdam, Hamburg) runs 30–38 days via Suez, and to Turkey (Mersin/Istanbul) 28–35 days. Transit times are indicative and depend on the carrier's service loop and routing.
Indicative: Japan to US West Coast (Los Angeles/Long Beach) 11–16 days transpacific; Japan to China (Shanghai) 2–4 days; Japan to South Korea (Busan) 1–2 days; Japan to India (Nhava Sheva) 14–20 days; Japan to the UAE (Jebel Ali) 18–24 days; Japan to Turkey 28–35 days and North Europe 30–38 days via Suez. FCL (20'/40') and LCL groupage are both available. LCL adds 3–5 days for consolidation and deconsolidation.
Yes. Intra-Asia is one of Japan's busiest export lanes. Short-sea services reach Busan in 1–2 days, Shanghai and the main Chinese ports in 2–4 days, and Southeast Asia in 5–10 days, with frequent sailings and daily air options. We handle the customs formalities at both ends and consolidate cargo for fast regional distribution.
Sea: Tokyo (JPTYO), Yokohama (JPYOK), Nagoya (JPNGO), Kobe (JPUKB) and Osaka (JPOSA) — the five main container gateways around Tokyo Bay, Ise Bay and Osaka Bay. Air: Tokyo Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND), Osaka Kansai (KIX) and Nagoya Chubu (NGO). We arrange pickup from any prefecture, including the Kanto, Chubu and Kansai industrial regions.
Yes. Automobiles and auto parts are Japan's leading export, and the Chubu region around Nagoya is the heart of the industry. We handle vehicle parts, components and JIT (just-in-time) consignments by air for time-critical lines and by sea FCL for volume, with the documentation and scheduling that automotive supply chains require.
Standard documents: commercial invoice, packing list, the transport document — bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air) — Japan Customs export declaration, and a certificate of origin where the destination requires it. Where a Japan EPA/FTA applies (for example with the EU, UK, ASEAN or CPTPP members), a preferential origin declaration can reduce duties. We advise on documentation before shipment.
Leading Japanese exports include automobiles and auto parts, machinery and industrial robotics, electronics and semiconductors, precision instruments (optical, medical, measuring), specialty steel and chemicals. High-value and time-sensitive cargo moves by air, while vehicles, machinery and containerised consignments move by sea from the main gateways.
