Four businesses linking China and Japan
Built around import and export trade between China and Japan, our work extends to cross-border purchasing, sourcing and shipping on your behalf, technical support for introducing products, and support for projects with Chinese companies.
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.
