Case Overview: Mr. Yuan commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship his entire household furniture from Shanghai to Tokyo, Japan.

After obtaining his Japanese Residence Card, Mr. Yuan planned to move all the furniture from his Shanghai home to his new home in Tokyo. The European-style sofa, sideboard, coffee table, and marble dining table were all treasured pieces he'd used for years. He worried the marble might crack under the rigors of ocean shipping, and he also worried about navigating customs clearance as a new immigrant. After comparing several companies, he chose Seapoe Relo's door-to-door one-stop service.

Step 1: Customized plan, unlocking duty-free benefits in advance
During initial contact, a dedicated consultant first organized a complete item list for Mr. Yuan and customized a cost-effective shipping plan. Then the consultant mapped out Japan's duty-free shipping policy for new immigrants: by applying for tax-exempt clearance of personal used goods and planning the entry procedures ahead of time, he could save a significant amount on customs duties.

Step 2: In-home packing, maximum marble protection
On packing day, Seapoe's professional packing team arrived at Mr. Yuan's home and provided thorough protective packaging for the sofa and other large furniture. The centerpiece was the marble dining table:

1. Table legs were disassembled and wrapped separately;
2. The tabletop was covered with soft white cotton paper for scratch protection;
3. Multiple layers of thickened PE foam were wrapped around as a cushioning layer;
4. Custom impact-resistant corner guards were fitted on all four corners;
5. Finally, a custom fumigation-free plywood crate was built, with cushioning foam packed inside to secure everything firmly;
6. The crate was clearly labeled "Fragile, Do Not Stack."

Quick tip: Seapoe can ship marble furniture without issue, but insurance providers won't cover it, so we take protection to the highest level to minimize damage risk from the very start of packing.

Step 3: Customs declaration and ocean freight, fully transparent tracking
All furniture was returned to the warehouse for a second count and reinforcement, with 30 days of free storage. After booking the cargo space, the shipping schedule was synced immediately, and the logistics status could be tracked in real time on Seapoe's customer order page throughout the entire journey.

Step 4: Duty-free clearance, door delivery with move-in ready service
When the shipment arrived in Tokyo, a dedicated team delivered everything at the agreed time, carried the furniture through the door, arranged it in place, and even assembled the dining table that had been a headache for Mr. Yuan. They removed all packaging and hauled it away, leaving the new home ready to live in without any further tidying.

After the final inspection, Mr. Yuan couldn't stop praising how stress-free the experience was: the marble dining table he'd worried most about arrived in perfect condition, and the duty exemption went through smoothly. When you choose the right professional team for an international move, even the largest pieces of furniture can cross the ocean safe and sound.
