Nippon Express next month will start shipping freight from Japan to southern China and major Southeast Asian countries, taking care of every stage from Customs to transport to final destinations, according to Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
Preparations have been made to offer the service in Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and certain other parts of China. Marketing will be stepped up in August, with service expanding in the fall to inland Chinese cities and other Southeast Asian nations depending on customer needs.
Thailand-bound cargo will, for instance, be forwarded from warehouses in major Japanese cities by sea. After clearing Customs, they will be shipped in trucks arranged by Nippon Express to six main destinations, including Bangkok and major industrial parks.
