TS EXPORTSM – YOUR ONE STOP SOLUTION FOR IMPORTING FROM JAPAN!
Imagine the frustration of seeing something you want in Japan from one supplier, something you want from another supplier and something else again from an online auction... But there's no way you can bring them together for a viable shipment!
And what would it be like not being restricted to buying just from one supplier or the big auctions but also from suppliers NORMALLY OUT OF BOUNDS to foreign based importers?
How much are you losing by not being able to grab the stock your customers are clamouring for and offer it to them RIGHT NOW?
And what would it be worth to your COMPANY'S BOTTOM LINE if you could?
How much time and money are you losing in long international phone calls where you can't understand each other and expensive business trips to Japan going from place to place to place and still not finding what you want?
Would setting up your own base in Japan solve the problem? With Japanese labour costs, finding staff, setting up premises, getting government approvals and licences.
And then there's the language barrier...
And what would all this cost? And the time you waste... and the ongoing overhead... even in those lean times when you don't need as much stock!
Well now you don't need to... with TS EXPORTSM you now have an ONGOING PRESENCE IN JAPAN WITHOUT THE ONGOING OVERHEAD. Just use the services you need when you need them!
Buy at the BEGINNING OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN and get the very same stock that those big Trading Companies get - at the very same low price - only YOU GET TO POCKET THE PROFIT...
And our PAY AS YOU GO PAYMENT TERMS smoothes your cashflow!

TS EXPORTSM STORY
Tsuchiyama Sangyo was established in Japan in 1983. The company has been successfully trading for over a quarter century and is now a second generation company.
In the 1990's the company was approached by a group of importers frustrated by the difficulty of sourcing automotive stock in Japan without a reliable multi-supplier network in place and without an ongoing day to day presence on the ground in Japan actively sourcing stock.
TS EXPORTSM then began to meet this need. The company developed supply networks, an EXPORT CENTRE and holding yards and made these services available to other client groups throughout the world.
And without even knowing it the company had pioneered JAPAN EXPORT SERVICES.
Rather than buying in something and then trying to make you buy it, TS EXPORTSM took YOUR perspective by helping you get the stock that YOU actually want! And give you access to the full range of suppliers for more choice and the best prices. Even those suppliers normally out of bounds to foreign based importers.
And collect and store stock for you so you can ship full containers for the lowest landed cost... Which means being able to beat your competitors.
Until the launch of this website in December 2007 all TS EXPORTSM growth was by word of mouth, referrals and repeat business from ongoing clients!
The company has now shipped HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of stock items WORLDWIDE, meaning YOU CAN SOURCE AND SHIP WITH CONFIDENCE
TS EXPORTSM TEAM
All TS EXPORTSM TEAM members who directly assist clients are multilingual and the team includes native speakers of English, Spanish and Japanese. Support is coming soon in Filipino (Tagalog), Russian and Ukrainian.
Key members are university graduates and have years of exporting experience to give you the quality of service you deserve. The Company President was born in Japan. The native English speaking General Manager has been in Japan since 1991.
The team have skills and experience in vehicle sourcing, purchasing, documentation, dismantling, container packing, shipping, IT and more ..... which means you always have the full range of skills on hand to help you!
TS EXPORTSM FACILITIES
Operating from 6 LOCATIONS in JAPAN to provide you with the FULL RANGE OF FACILITIES AND SERVICES to support your importing:
The Kansai area has a strong, dynamic, internationally focussed economy. If the area was a country it would be the 10th largest country in the world.
This means you have a huge selection of quality used cars, trucks, motorcycles, forklifts, machinery, marine and other stock right within Kansai - with generally lower costs than the crowded Tokyo area.
Shipping from the major international ports of Kobe and Osaka means minimal trucking and drayage costs and the best shipping frequency. These ports have been designated a Super Hub Port by the Japanese government, which means an even better shipping frequency - get your stock even quicker - and with even lower port taxes.
And if you can't find what you need in Kansai, you can still source from anywhere in Japan and truck it in or ship directly from the nearest port.
Himeji enjoys a relatively mild climate allowing uninterrupted work throughout the year. This means that its unlikely your job will ever be stopped or delayed because of bad weather. There is normally no more than one day of snow a year.
Your visit to Japan will be more pleasant if you avoid the Rainy Season in June and July and the peak summer heat and humidity of August. The most comfortable weather is in the Autumn months of September to November where daytime temperatures are pleasant and there is generally less rain than most other months. The current weather in Himeji is:
