Small plane transport could imply delivering goods or mail or transport freight internationally;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022 <strong>Marine shipping<\/strong>: it is a very developed sector and a great business. It is often effectuated by tankers full of containers which get lifted off the trailer of an 18-wheeler and then placed on the boat. This type of business usually consists of international import or export and it needs a certain level of knowledge of the customs regulations in general and for a certain merchandise;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022<strong> Specialty transportation<\/strong>: our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyformationjapan.com\/company-incorporation-japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>company registration<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;specialists&nbsp;<strong>in Japan<\/strong>&nbsp;can provide further details on what this type of&nbsp;<strong>transportation business&nbsp;<\/strong>consists of.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-safety-license-in-japan\"><\/span><strong>The safety license in Japan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Road Vehicles Law, in connection to&nbsp;<strong>opening a transportation company in Japan<\/strong>, entrepreneurs should be aware that&nbsp;<strong>transportation companies<\/strong>&nbsp;in this country should have certain safety licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These licenses are issued by the Transportation Ministry upon receiving certain documents.
