Which Structure Fits Your Situation?

IOR, ACP, and own-entity import are three structurally distinct legal frameworks under 関税法 (Customs Act). Pick the one that matches your Japan presence and your invoicing chain.

Use IOR when:

You want Aplash to act as the legal Importer of Record. Aplash purchases the goods from your overseas supplier under Contract ①, clears Japan customs in Aplash's name, and on-sells the goods to the Japan-side buyer under Contract ② at landed cost + duties + Japanese consumption tax (JCT). The Japan-side buyer receives Aplash's 適格請求書 (qualified invoice) and recovers JCT through their own filing. Aplash bears full importer liability under 関税法 (Customs Act). Use this structure when there is a Japan-side buyer to receive the goods.

Use ACP when:

Your company is the legal importer named on the import declaration. Aplash acts as your 税関事務管理人 (Tax Customs Administrator) under 関税法第95条 (Customs Act Article 95). Available only to non-resident entities (no Japan address, residence, or office). Japanese consumption tax (JCT) recovery requires separate appointment of 消費税の納税管理人 (Tax Administrator for Consumption Tax) and Qualified Invoice Issuer registration.

You may not need either:

If your company has a registered Japan entity (KK / GK / Branch), you typically file customs in your own name. We can still coordinate compliance, permits, and 通関士 partner work without acting as IOR.

Electronics track — teaser

IOR alone is not enough for regulated electronics. Aplash provides the full stack.

For PSE-regulated electronics and Radio Act devices specifically, the IOR engagement is one of three stacked roles in Aplash's scope. The other seven commodity tracks above use their own compliance stack — see the relevant subpage.

Layer 1

Importer of Record

Aplash as named importer; buy-and-sell contract chain; 適格請求書 (qualified invoice) issued to Japan-side buyer.

Per-shipment fee, CIF-banded
Layer 2

Notifying Supplier (PSE / Radio Act)

Aplash as METI (経済産業省 / Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) registered responsible party on the PSE label; ongoing record-keeping and audit-readiness.

Initial certification + annual maintenance
Layer 3

Distribution Coordination

Aplash invoices the Japan-side buyer and coordinates collection; transparent service-fee disclosure in the engagement letter.

Distribution coordination fee, % of CIF

Pricing Transparency

Public floor pricing only. Engagement-specific quotes confirmed in the engagement letter; full pricing matrix is shared after the commodity assessment.

Standard

EAR99 IT equipment, no dual-use flag

from $2,800 per shipment

+ customs duties and Japanese consumption tax (pass-through at cost).

Regulated

PSE / Radio Act / complex goods

from $4,800 per shipment

+ per-layer compliance fees (PSE notification, 技適, food notification, permit coordination).

Controlled

Dual-use / FEFTA-controlled / Case D

from $13,000 per shipment

Restricted scope. Pre-engagement assessment required before quoting. ITAR, weapons, ammunition, nuclear are out of scope.

Customs duties and JCT pass through at cost. Aplash earns no margin on the goods, only on the service.

Frequently asked questions

Eight questions covering structure choice, regulated commodities, certification stacking, and engagement scope. Full Q&A depth lives on each commodity subpage.

Do I need a Japan entity to import goods into Japan?

No. With IOR you do not need a Japan entity. Aplash acts as the legal Importer of Record under 関税法 (Customs Act), buys the goods from your overseas supplier, clears customs, and on-sells to your Japan-side buyer. Foreign companies with no Japan presence can ship into Japan in days.

What is the difference between IOR and ACP in Japan?

IOR means Aplash becomes the legal importer named on the customs declaration. ACP means you remain the importer and Aplash acts as your 税関事務管理人 (Tax Customs Administrator) under 関税法第95条 (Customs Act Article 95). They are structurally distinct frameworks; see the Decision Panel above.

Can Aplash act as IOR for IT equipment imports?

Yes. IT equipment is one of Aplash's defensible specialties: AC adapters, networking gear, computing hardware, and wireless peripherals. Most IT equipment triggers PSE (電気用品安全法) or 技適 (Radio Act type certification), and Aplash stacks IOR with Notifying Supplier registration.

Does IOR include PSE certification?

No. PSE certification and IOR are separate functions. Aplash provides both in one engagement: Aplash imports as named IOR and registers with METI as Notifying Supplier so its name appears on the PSE label. See the three-layer synergy section.

Do wireless products need separate certification before IOR?

Yes. Any product with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, NFC, or RF transmission requires 技適 (Giteki, Radio Act type certification) before commercial use in Japan. Aplash coordinates the certification via TELEC or another 登録証明機関 (Registered Certification Body) in parallel with customs clearance.

How long does IOR setup take in Japan?

Most engagements complete the engagement-letter, KYC, and documentation phase in 2 to 4 weeks, with first commercial shipment cleared within 6 weeks. Wireless products requiring fresh 技適 testing extend the timeline to 8 to 12 weeks.

Can Aplash handle dual-use or FEFTA-controlled goods?

Yes, subject to pre-engagement assessment. 該非判定 (applicability determination) is reviewed against 外為法 (Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act) List Items and Catch-All criteria using the manufacturer's parameter sheet. ITAR-controlled goods, weapons, ammunition, nuclear, and radiological items are out of scope.

Can Aplash IOR for military-adjacent or defense supply chain shipments?

Limited. Civilian-buyer chains with potential military end-use (Case D) may be acceptable with valid EUC (End-Use Certificate) and KYC. Direct defense-end-user transactions, weapons, and ammunition are out of scope. All defense-adjacent inquiries undergo pre-engagement assessment before quoting.

Aplash is a regulatory-strategy and Japan market-entry firm — not a freight forwarder. Aplash is not a freight forwarder, customs broker, or logistics provider. We are a regulatory-strategy and Japan market-entry firm that assumes the legal importer position — and the statutory liability under 関税法 (Customs Act) that comes with it — so foreign companies can ship regulated goods into Japan without a local entity.

常见问题

Frequently Asked Questions

进口方(IOR / Importer of Record)是负责确保进口货物符合日本所有进口法规、并承担关税和消费税缴纳责任的法律主体。当外国企业无法在日本担任IOR时,Aplash代表您承担IOR职责,根据关税法(関税法)承担全部法律进口责任。

出口方(EOR / Exporter of Record)是出口文件上记录的合法出口商。当外国企业需要从日本出口货物但缺乏日本本地法律存在时,需要EOR。Aplash担任EOR,依据外汇及外贸法(外為法)处理出口清关手续。

IOR(进口方)承担全部法律进口责任——Aplash成为法定进口商,承担进口合规风险。ACP(通关手续代理人)是代理角色,您保留货物所有权和纳税义务,Aplash代您处理通关申报。IOR适合受监管商品、复杂进口及高风险货物;ACP成本较低,适合一般电商和亚马逊FBA。

Aplash IOR处理危险品(IATA DGR / IMDG)、锂电池(UN38.3)、化学物质(化審法)、医疗器械(薬機法)、管制电子产品(PSE / 電安法)、食品及保健品(食品衛生法)、工业设备及两用品(外為法 / ECCN)。如需确认特定商品的覆盖范围,请联系我们。

Aplash覆盖日本所有主要港口和机场:东京(成田国际机场、羽田机场、横滨港)、名古屋(中部国际机场、名古屋港)、大阪/神户(关西国际机场、神户港、大阪港)、福冈(福冈机场、博多港)及那霸/冲绳(那霸机场、那霸港)。

不需要。这正是该服务的核心价值。Aplash担任您的IOR/EOR,使您的外国企业无需成立日本子公司或分支机构即可在日本进行进出口。

初始协议和文件准备通常需要3至7个工作日。完成入驻后,Aplash可持续处理货物运输。具体时间因商品类别和所需部委申报而有所不同。

主要法规包括关税法(関税法)、外汇及外贸法(外為法)、药机法(薬機法)、电气用品安全法(電安法)、化学物质审查及制造等管制法(化審法)、食品卫生法(食品衛生法)及消防法等。IATA DGR、IMDG规则、ECCN/EAR及Incoterms 2020等国际标准在相关情况下亦适用。

日本进口业务规模扩大了吗?

设立日本实体,降低长期运营成本

IOR服务让您无需设立本地实体即可进入日本市场。但随着进口量增长,设立KK或GK可降低每批货物费用、与日本海关建立直接关系,并实现完全的市场独立运营。
