Import
Business (For Japanese Buyers)
To supply the Japanese market with inexpensive, superior products from overseas!
We handle all types of international trade business on your behalf.
Recently, we have seen tremendous progress in manufacturing technology in China and other Asian countries, and the market is flooded with low-cost, high-performance foreign products.
Especially in the Japanese market, the recent trend focusing on “Made in Japan” is fading away, and with globalization, a culture of accepting foreign products with confidence has been fostered.
However, international trade transactions are not a market that can be easily entered by companies with little experience and know-how, as they require communication between countries and companies with widely different languages and business practices, complicated paperwork, and various other issues and risks.
We take these challenges and risks, and with our extensive network, trust, and track record cultivated over many years of experience, so we can realize transactions beneficial to both imports and exports.
