Three facts to check
Japan presence
Confirm whether the importing company has a head office, principal office, office or establishment in Japan.
The named importer
Identify the non-resident company that will be named on the import declaration and provide the commercial facts.
The Customs office
Identify where the procedures will take place. Several Customs offices require separate notifications.
Review the product alongside the importer
An HS code alone does not establish ACP suitability. Supply the product's materials, function, intended use and sales channel so the review can address the actual goods and the proposed importer.
Where a product requires separate permits, approvals or supporting evidence, those requirements must be resolved alongside the appointment. The product review guide explains what information to prepare.
Prepare a clear transaction picture
Show goods and money on separate lines in the trade-flow diagram. Marketplace sellers should prepare the notation page and Japanese-language product listing.
Use the check below to organise your importer facts, then request an HS code and ACP review. The review identifies what to prepare for the Form C No. 7500 appointment.
