According to UPS, automobile and semiconductor-related companies are concentrated in Kyushu, and they want to contribute to the further promotion of overseas expansion of these companies and the economic development and revitalization of Kyushu. This service will extend the pickup deadline by up to 3.5 hours if you wish to export your shipments. Along with Moji Port, which established itself as a trading port in the Meiji era, it is expected that Kitakyushu’s position as a trading hub will further increase.
