People who often receive or send packages should have encountered problems such as damaged packaging, unclear address, and missing internal parts. What principles should be adhered to in the transportation and packaging of international logistics/express goods (cargo, express, parcel, etc.)? What problems should be paid attention to in AR product packaging?
1) Suitable for transportation
This is the basic requirement for transportation packaging (transportation packaging is also called outer packaging, as opposed to commodity packaging/inner packaging/sales packaging). The transport packaging must be strong, impact-resistant, and vibration-resistant, and at the same time, it must take into account the functions of moisture-proof, anti-theft, and anti-loss.
2) Protect the product, prevent moisture and theft
Protecting the product is the minimum requirement for packaging, and other requirements (such as being suitable for transportation, easy to load and unload, beautiful, etc.) are only meaningful under the premise of protecting the product. For high-value but small-sized products, special attention should be paid to the function of moisture-proof and anti-theft. If the anti-theft seal is attached to the outer package, as long as the seal is intact, it means that the product inside is not lost.
3) Easy to load and unload
It is well packaged, easy to handle, easy to load and unload, which is conducive to improving efficiency, and at the same time, it can avoid the damage and damage that may be caused to the goods by "brutal loading and unloading". Such as: pay attention to the weight and size of each package - too heavy will lead to inconvenience in handling and loading and unloading; irregular shape is not conducive to neat stacking, which may easily lead to unnecessary deformation and damage. If it is palletized goods or large-sized goods that must be loaded, unloaded, and transported by forklifts or cranes, it must be convenient for mechanical operations, such as necessary jacks or lifting holes or rings.
4) Moderate and reasonable packaging
According to the actual situation of the goods (weight, size, shape, volume, etc.), choose suitable packaging boxes, boards, packaging fillers, sealing methods (whether wrapping straps), and reinforcement methods. Be sure to avoid the packaging box being too large, resulting in insufficient packaging with empty space inside, which is very likely to cause damage to the packaging and the goods. Of course, it should not be overpacked, resulting in unnecessary waste of packaging materials.
5) The package is integrated
The outer packaging should be integrated with the inner protective materials, buffers and the product itself. When an outer packaging contains multiple small inner packagings, it is necessary to pay attention to the neat and good stacking between the contents or between the outer packaging and the contents. When the gap is filled, it should be filled with buffer or protective material to avoid unnecessary collision, friction or extrusion due to the gap.
6) Pay attention to the balance of direction and center of gravity
If the goods cannot be placed sideways or upside down, the goods that must be facing up must be clearly marked on the outer packaging, and there must be "up" and other relevant signs on all sides. During handling, loading and unloading, storage, and transportation, the outer packaging must be strictly followed. The arrows on it identify the correct handling and disposal of the goods. The center of gravity of the package should be located in the center, and the weight distribution should be kept as balanced as possible. If the center of gravity cannot be kept near the center due to the problem of the item itself, it is best to indicate the weight on that side.

Notes on import tariff and consumption tax in Japan:
Most of the goods imported from Japan (80-90%) are tariff free、 but 8% of the consumption tax will be paid if the freight and value of goods is more than 10000 yen.
For a small number of products、 the average tax rate is (3-5%)、 such as plastic products、 aluminum products、 etc.、 but the freight and freight value of the express is less than 10、000 yen、 there is no tariff and consumption tax. On the contrary、 if the freight and freight value of the express is more than 10、000 yen、 (3-5%) import tariff and 8% consumption tax shall be paid.
Some famous products are strictly required by Japanese customs、 such as textile products、 which are subdivided into knitting and woven products:
Knitwear (simply understood as elastic clothes and pants、 such as sweaters、 T-shirts、 stockings、 underwear、 etc.) usually has an import tariff of about 10% plus 8% consumption tax when the freight and added value is greater than 1000 yen.
Shuttle fabrics (simply understood as trousers without elasticity、 such as jeans、 etc.) with freight and freight value less than 10000 yen also have no import tariff and consumption tax. On the contrary、 there will be 7-10.9% import tariff and consumption tax.
Leather goods (such as leather bags、 leather shoes、 leather coats、 leather gloves、 etc.) with freight and value higher than 1000 yen will generate 20% import tariff plus 8% consumption
