JAPAN

Famous for pagodas, snowy mountains and cherry blossom, the ancient nation of Japan is one of the most economically and technologically advanced countries of the modern world. Cities such as Tokyo, Yokohama and Osaka have evolved into dynamic economic hubs, producing globally renowned brands and products across heavy industry and high-tech specialisms.

UK exports of trade goods to Japan were recently estimated to be worth around $8.3 billion per annum. Here at Impact Express, we are helping to facilitate this important source of international trade by offering fully tracked shipping to Japan. Our express service promises to deliver within two working days to specific destinations.
