Container Shipment for more than one car from Japan

There are 2 ways for us to send vehicles from Japan to the world, RO/RO (PCC) ship and container ship.
We usually use 40Ft(HQ) container to put 2-5 cars. Only in container, we can put auto parts etc. as inner cargo, on the other hand, almost shipping companies are prohibiting to do so in the car on the RO/RO (PCC) ship because of the possible of making damages against cars on the way to destination or robbery at the port. So container is useful for customers who wants to buy a lot of auto parts. We have many customers who buys auto parts as well as used cars, but EMS (Postal Service) is more expensive than airmail.

In case we send your cars by container, total cost in Japan is generally as follows:
1. Car Price (FOB)
2. Vanning Fee (depends on quantities, size and combination of cars)
3. THC (container handling charge at port in Japan)
4. Container Freight (when you choose “Freight Prepaid”)

In general, container freight is more expensive than RORO (PCC). But why we recommend you container is available every week and safe for the reason I have written above.
Nowadays, it is difficult to book RO/RO (PCC) space because there are a lot of vehicles exported from Japan. We do not want to make our customers wait for a long time till arriving cars in their hands. I know everyone would like to save their money, however, it is faster way for you to drive with your favorite cars.
