Although we are using container vanning companies with highly proven skills in Japan, damages do occur sometimes during the export process. We forward your damage claims to our vanning contractors who may accept your damage claims and may compensate you through us for your damages. Damages are only paid to the buyer after we receive payment from the vanning contractor company. Damage claims can be made under the following conditions:
