Export to Japan : Outword Manifest 24 Hours Before Vessel Depature

This article I create for those who are starting export any goods to Japan. According to the mandatory implementation of Japan 24 Hours Rule, all shipper must send the actual shipping details or final data of shipping booking in advance to forwarder. In previous time before this rule implemented, we, shipper in Indonesia could provided the final data of our shipment to Japan on Friday for vessel departure on Sunday or Monday, but after the mandatory date of this rule, we can't do that.

Because of this rule, of course, shippers should provide the final data of their shipment to Japan in advance.

Here are some cut-off times for data  manifest I got from forwarder for direct shipment to Japanese port: 

Shipping line OOCL for destination Tokyo, Nagoya, Yokkaichi, and Kobe, which the shipment date on Wednesday, the cut-off final data of shipment is on Saturday or three days before sailing date.

Shipping line Wan Hai, for the same destination with OOCL, the cut-off for final data of shipment is on Monday at ten o'clock in the morning or two days before departure.

Shipping line MOL, the cut-off almost same with Wan Hai, this only two hours later then Wan Hai.

K'Line has two times departures in a week, one on Sunday and the second on Friday. For vessel departure on Sunday, the final data can be received until Wednesday at twelve o'clock in the morning. And for the Friday's vessel departure, the cut-off will be on Monday at twelve o'clock.

The last, for NYK shipping line has also two vessel departures in a week, Sunday and Friday. For the vessel departure on Monday, the final data for outward manifest limited until Thursday at fourteen o'clock. And for the vessel departure on Friday, the closing of final data for manifest is on Monday at twelve o'clock.  

This condition will brings to the higher cost production in our factory. To meet this new rule, production in a factory must add the production times or might be taking overtime, or a factory will open the additional worker.
