Cheap Parcel Delivery to Tokyo

Transit Times to Tokyo

Despite its distance from the UK, you will find that transit times to Tokyo are extremely quick. An express service with UPS, for example, estimates a transit time of simply 2 working days, while a more economical service, with TNT as an example, would expect delivery to take an estimated 6-7 working days.

While we are able to advise of an estimated transit time for your parcel delivery, it is highly recommended to also refer to our Transit Time calculator tool. Using this will provide you with more accurate information as to how long your parcel delivery will take. To take advantage of this useful facility, you will need to enter your collection and delivery postal codes.

It is important to remember that transit times do not account for any delays caused by customs clearance when you want to send a parcel to Tokyo.

Useful Customs Information for Tokyo

As your shipment will be travelling outside of the EU, it is important to be aware of the customs clearance process. Before before accepted into the country, your shipment will undergo clearance by Japanese customs. While customs clearance precdures are out of both the carrier and Transglobal Express' control, we do ensure both you and your parcel are fully prepared for this.

Your shipment must be accompanied by four copies of a customs invoice. The customs invoice is simply a document outlining the contents of your shipment as well as a value. While some companies prefer to produce their own customs invoice, we ensure that this is automatically generated for you once your booking with us is complete. This piece of documentation is vital and will be needed to calculate any relevant customs charges. Your driver will take this documentation, along with your shipping labels, from you upon collection of your parcels.
