This report is probably not for you if...

You're a Japanese domestic brand, already have a licensed importer in Japan, or are importing personal-use quantities not intended for commercial sale. The report is designed for commercial import at scale by foreign brands without an existing Japan entity.

FAQ

Questions about
the report.

What information do I need to provide? +

The order form asks for your product name, category, country of origin, and a brief description including key ingredients or materials. For regulated categories (food supplements, cosmetics, electronics), the more detail you provide, the more specific and useful your report will be. We may send a short follow-up question if needed.

How long does delivery take? +

Reports are delivered within 7–14 business days from order confirmation. Complex categories (quasi-drugs, medical devices, electronics requiring certification) may take up to 14 business days. We'll let you know if this applies to your product.

Is this report legally binding? +

No. The report represents our professional assessment based on current Japanese regulatory frameworks and is prepared for informational purposes. It is not a legal opinion. Final import decisions rest with Japanese customs authorities. That said, the report is authority-verified and reviewed by our compliance specialists with direct knowledge of Japanese trade law.

Can I order a report for multiple products? +

Yes. Each report covers one product (or product line with closely related SKUs). If you have multiple distinct products, place separate orders. Contact us at inquiry@jmgateway.com for volume pricing if you need 3 or more reports.

What if my product turns out to be non-importable? +

The report will explain why and whether modifications (reformulation, relabeling, registration) could make it importable. In some cases, products are temporarily non-importable due to pending regulatory changes — we'll note that too. If no pathway exists, you'll know before spending significantly on a Japan launch.

What happens after I receive the report? +

You receive an email with a link to book your complimentary 30-minute consultation. If you decide to proceed with a Japan launch, our team will propose the appropriate JMG service plan based on your volume, category, and timeline. There's no obligation — the report stands alone as a complete deliverable.
