TRADING

Import & export trade

Import and export, mainly between China and Japan, is our core business. From choosing products and partners to checking regulations and tariffs and concluding contracts, we work through every step of trade together with you.

Import

Based on domestic consumer trends and your needs, we decide which goods to buy and look for suitable suppliers. We also check whether the goods fall under Japanese regulations and how much duty will apply.

Export

We identify products with strengths that will succeed in overseas markets, find buyers, and respond to inquiries from abroad. We also check whether items need permits or applications in the destination country, or statutory inspection.

How we help with trade

  1. 01

    Choosing products and partners

    We work with you to decide what to source, where from, and which markets to sell into.

  2. 02

    Checking regulations and tariffs

    We check whether goods are subject to regulations, permits or applications, and whether duties or inspections apply.

  3. 03

    Checking partner credibility

    Whether importing or exporting, judging a partner's credibility is essential. We carry out checks so you can trade with confidence.

  4. 04

    Negotiating and concluding contracts

    We support you in agreeing the terms of sale: price, payment currency and method, quality and quantity, transport and delivery date, packing, inspection and after-sales service.

What to source, where from, and where to sell — we think it through with you.
