Removal to Japan
Door-to-door service
With the Heartliner service, we at Nippon Express provide total coordination for smooth overseas-household moving based on a door-to-door (intermodal transport) system unique to our company, which has bases in cities in countries and regions worldwide. Our household moving—whether it be from Singapore to Japan, from Japan to Singapore, or from Singapore to overseas—is entirely handled by Nippon Express branch offices and agents, ensuring, above all, customer peace of mind.
Relocation of life as-is to location across the sea
Heartliner In the case of overseas-household moving, it is not an exaggeration to say that your life is relocated as-is to a faraway location across the sea. We at Nippon Express not only safely deliver household belongings, but also provide information on living overseas and offer convenient and excellent-value supplementary services. Thus, we provide support from various angles so that customers are able to live overseas with peace of mind. We carry out our day-to-day operations while always keeping in mind that household moving is an important event that occurs at a turning point in the history of customers.
Information-sharing system for overseas-household moving
Heartliner In order to enhance service quality in line with the information technology (IT) age, we at Nippon Express share information with our domestic and overseas locations that our customers have provided us regarding household moving. Locations can then check with each other on the state of progress of operations on terminal screens. As a result, we are able to quickly perform tracing (tracking) at both the point of departure and at the point of arrival with both sea freight and air freight. This way we can promptly provide customers with information regarding the transit steps of the valuable goods that they have entrusted to us.

Goods banned from import
There are items that cannot be sent as household-moving baggage. If prohibited items are discovered by customs at destination, there is a possibility of confiscation, disposal, fines, needing additional time for customs inspections, and so on. Please read the document on prohibited items, and make sure that your baggage does not include prohibited items as you prepare it.
Delivery of packing materials
Although packing is included in the household-moving services on the day of pickup, we can deliver a portion of the packing materials in advance if requested to do so. If methods of packing are unclear regarding fragile items and so on, you can ask our staff members about this, or let our staff members take care of the packing of such items on the day of pickup.
Sorting
The key to success in household moving is sorting. Please sort your baggage into categories before the day of pickup.
Sorting stickers will be sent to you along with the packing materials.
Pickup operations
Nippon Express staff members will visit you to carry out the pickup and packing operations.
※Our company will contact your condominium in advance to take care of the reservation for carrying out items and the deposit procedures.
- Before our workers enter your home on the day of operations, please make sure to check that you have your passports, valuables, and items that must be returned to the owner (remote controls, keys, documents, etc.) on hand.
Please note that if such items are mixed in with the baggage to be packed, valuable time before your departure will end up being lost because it may be necessary to reopen all of the boxes, or go to a Nippon Express warehouse to retrieve items, etc.
Import customs clearance and meeting regarding delivery
In accordance with the timing of the arrival of your baggage at destination, Nippon Express at destination or our partner company will contact you regarding the arrival, and hold a meeting with you regarding the day of delivery.
For more details, please take a look at the section of the Nippon Express website regarding overseas-household moving.
Household moving to foreign countries
We at Nippon Express provide support for the household moving of customers by utilizing our unique global network, which includes bases in cities in countries and regions worldwide.
