My partner and I am shipping household goods to Japan from the USA in a few months. The goods consist of clothes, books, kitchen utensils, dinnerware. They are all used goods. We will be entering Japan as tourists and staying in Japan only sporadically (spring and fall). We will not be working or studying.
(1) What's the procedure for collecting household goods in Japan? Do we need to provide some kind of work/study visa to pick up our goods?
(2) Any recommendations for a shipping company? Note: I don't have an entire container, just a few boxes of household stuff.
(3) What are the typical costs of shipping?
(4) Can we have someone pick up our goods from the shipping company's office in Japan (I might not be in Japan when they arrive)?
Any other recommendations are welcome.
