Specialized logistics services for Stationery cargo
Japan
United States
The ocean route from Tokyo to Newark provides a cost-effective solution for transporting office materials over a long distance. This method allows for the shipment of large quantities of stationery and office equipment, ensuring that businesses have access to essential supplies without incurring excessive freight costs. Additionally, ocean freight is often more environmentally friendly compared to air transport, aligning with sustainability goals for many companies.
In Tokyo, a well-established port infrastructure facilitates the efficient loading and unloading of goods, with modern facilities designed to handle diverse cargo types. Newark's port is similarly equipped, featuring advanced logistics systems that streamline the distribution of office products throughout the northeastern United States. Both locations benefit from robust transportation networks, ensuring seamless connections to major urban centers and enhancing supply chain efficiency.

When shipping from Tokyo to Newark via ocean, expect significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November), so build in extra buffer days. Confirm vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods like Golden Week (April 20-May 10) and the Christmas retail peak (October-December). Plan around tight cut-off times and work closely with carriers to manage potential disruptions from winter storms (December-March) and summer holiday peaks (late June-early September).

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using double-walled boxes, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Delicate Equipment” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but You should assemble the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and add a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.
For small parcel shipments of low-value office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend adding cargo insurance. It can cover loss and breakage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Office materials should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Maintain pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and confirm that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and a bill of lading. Additionally, a certificate of origin may be needed for customs clearance in the United States.
Yes, office supplies must comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, which may include safety standards and labeling requirements. Importers should also be aware of any applicable tariffs or duties.
