We always do our best to find the fastest shipping vessel available. The following time estimates are based on our past experience: Kenya, 3-4 weeks. Please note that AA Japan cannot guarantee any maximum duration of shipping. The shipping company holds sole responsibility for how long the journey will be.

AA Japan has an innovative tool on its website: “My Purchases”. Use My Purchases, to follow all steps of an order, from initial inquiry to completion. You can check on the status of a transaction (inquiry, waiting for payment, waiting for information, in preparation, shipping or completed), see shipping information (ETD, ETA, port of departure, port of discharge), pass on information to your sales consultant and download a copy of all related documents (proforma invoice, B/L, inspection certificate and export certificate).

Yes. Some changes may occur in the shipping schedule as decided by the shipping company for various reasons. These may include weather issues, technical issues, etc., all of which are beyond AA Japan’s control.

Sometimes a shipping company may plan a journey without yet having decided an ETA. In such situations, we will inform you of the ETA as soon as we receive this information from the shipping company.
