Import cargo into Japan is mainly discharged at Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama and Nagoya.

Every shipment on these lanes travels on an Evergreen (EGLV) Bill of Lading and is read from the carrier's own tracking record: vessel, voyage, port milestones and per-container status, re-checked after the estimated arrival (the ETA, or the last planned arrival when there is none) until a status reports the shipment at its final destination, for up to 30 days — free, and without an account.
