Lead times can be improved and costs reduced for products that were previously shipped to China from overseas on an order-by-order basis, by keeping stock in free trade zones. In addition to our own operations in the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, we can provide support through a wide partnership network that spans to other free-trade zones as well.

Goods from various suppliers in China can be brought to Kamigumi's warehouses, inspected, and then shipped together to Japan in a single container. On the Japanese side, we can then provide comprehensive shipping and management services to meet individual deadlines, ranging from customs clearance, to delivery to individual stores. Consolidating management of transportation and information not only controls costs, it also helps achieve more efficient deadline management.

We can also handle large cargo, delicate cargo and plant cargo. We deal in everything from chartering of depot ships to loading and supervision.

Kamigumi's China Land Bridge Service is a transportation service to locations not only throughout China, but also throughout Mongolia, Central Asia, CIS countries and other regions. The service combines rail, truck and coastal ship transportation. With over ten years of providing the service, we have built up a wealth of experience. Additionally, we provide efficient services in Sichuan, Chengdu and Chongquing by combining rail and river transport, depending on cargo lead times.

By aggregating procurement and distribution processing of parts (inspection, repacking, simple processing)—through cargo milkruns to various parts suppliers, and through integrated shipping from overseas—we are able to implement JIT (Just-In-Time) shipping to production sites. While collecting cargo, we use GPS to ensure accurate and efficient vehicle tracking and management.
