Sea logistics from Japan explained

The main way to move motorcycles from Japan is by sea inside a container. Let us walk through the stages.

Preparing for shipment

After purchase the motorcycle is moved to the warehouse in Japan, export documents are issued, and it is prepared for loading. The bike is firmly secured inside the container to avoid damage in transit.

Consolidation

To keep shipping cost-effective, several motorcycles travel in one container. Departure timing therefore depends on how the container fills and on shipping-line schedules.

Arrival and tracking

On arrival at the port the motorcycle goes through customs. The status at every stage - at the warehouse, at sea, in customs - is visible in your account on the site.
