Connect the seller account to the importing company
Japan ACP | Aplash G.K.

Working notes for your team. This is not a Customs application form.

Begin with the legal entity behind the storefront

Write the platform name, store name and business entity recorded as the seller. Identify the proposed importing company separately. If the names differ, explain the relationship and locate the agreement or business record that supports it. A shared brand does not explain why one company imports stock sold by another.
Japan Customs notes seller information as an example of additional evidence it may request for e-commerce listings. The exact record request depends on the case. Do not assume that a screenshot of the public storefront completes the appointment pack or that a platform's account verification amounts to Customs acceptance.

Your notes:


Capture evidence that answers a specific question

[ ] Platform and storefront name
[ ] Business entity shown in the account record
[ ] Proposed importer and explanation of any difference
[ ] Relevant listing reference, model and capture date
[ ] Settlement or commercial records only where requested

Your notes:


Match the listing to the goods being sent

A listing can combine colours, sizes, bundles and models under one page. State which variant is in the first shipment and connect it to the supplier model and invoice description. A store's internal stock identifier can be helpful, but it should not replace the manufacturer's specification or the packing list.
Describe the fulfilment arrangement as well. Which company operates the receiving location, and what does the marketplace do after the goods arrive? Use the trade flow map (/guides/trade-flow-map) to separate transport, storage, sale and settlement. This avoids presenting the platform as every party in the transaction just because its name appears throughout the account.

Your notes:


Tell the reviewer when the account setup changes

Do not treat an old seller screenshot as permanent evidence. A change to the account entity, fulfilment route or commercial arrangement may alter the explanation supplied for the appointment. Keep the current version with the appointment records and identify who maintains it.
Send the relevant evidence with your initial review request (/contact?intent=review&plan=hs-review). If the business account is not yet active, say so and describe the planned arrangement. The review can identify the missing records without pretending that a planned account is already verified or that marketplace approval guarantees import clearance.

Your notes:


A storefront is only one part of the story
Connect the seller entity, importer, exact listing and fulfilment route. Share selected evidence rather than login access, and explain differences in names before they become contradictions in the pack.
