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.
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.
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.
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.

Per-shipment fee, CIF-bandedAplash 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.

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.
Eight questions covering structure choice, regulated commodities, certification stacking, and engagement scope. Full Q&A depth lives on each commodity subpage.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
所有業務均嚴格遵循日本海關、貿易管制、產品安全及國際法規框架執行。

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.
進口方（IOR / Importer of Record）是負責確保進口貨物符合日本所有進口法規、並承擔關稅和消費稅繳納責任的法律主體。當外國企業無法在日本擔任IOR時，Aplash代表您承擔IOR職責，根據關稅法（関税法）承擔全部法律進口責任。
出口方（EOR / Exporter of Record）是出口文件上記錄的合法出口商。當外國企業需要從日本出口貨物但缺乏日本本地法律存在時，需要EOR。Aplash擔任EOR，依據外匯及外貿法（外為法）處理出口清關手續。
IOR（進口方）承擔全部法律進口責任——Aplash成為法定進口商，承擔進口合規風險。ACP（通關手續代理人）是代理角色，您保留貨物所有權和納稅義務，Aplash代您處理通關申報。IOR適合受監管商品、複雜進口及高風險貨物；ACP成本較低，適合一般電商和亞馬遜FBA。
Aplash IOR處理危險品（IATA DGR / IMDG）、鋰電池（UN38.3）、化學物質（化審法）、醫療器械（薬機法）、管制電子產品（PSE / 電安法）、食品及保健品（食品衛生法）、工業設備及兩用品（外為法 / ECCN）。如需確認特定商品的覆蓋範圍，請聯繫我們。
Aplash覆蓋日本所有主要港口和機場：東京（成田國際機場、羽田機場、橫濱港）、名古屋（中部國際機場、名古屋港）、大阪/神戶（關西國際機場、神戶港、大阪港）、福岡（福岡機場、博多港）及那霸/沖繩（那霸機場、那霸港）。
不需要。這正是該服務的核心價值。Aplash擔任您的IOR/EOR，使您的外國企業無需成立日本子公司或分支機構即可在日本進行進出口。
初始協議和文件準備通常需要3至7個工作日。完成入驻後，Aplash可持續處理貨物運輸。具體時間因商品類別和所需部委申報而有所不同。
主要法規包括關稅法（関税法）、外匯及外貿法（外為法）、藥機法（薬機法）、電氣用品安全法（電安法）、化學物質審查及製造等管制法（化審法）、食品衛生法（食品衛生法）及消防法等。IATA DGR、IMDG規則、ECCN/EAR及Incoterms 2020等國際標準在相關情況下亦適用。
IOR服務讓您無需設立本地實體即可進入日本市場。但隨著進口量增長，設立KK或GK可降低每批貨物費用、與日本海關建立直接關係，並實現完全的市場獨立運營。

Why the Wrong HS Code Costs More Than Just the Duty Rate
Most ACP providers handle customs declarations. But when your shipment triggers FEFTA, Radio Act, or HS advance rulings — standard ACP stops and regulatory execution starts.
Choosing the wrong import structure in Japan can cost you millions of yen in unrecoverable tax. Here's how to decide between IOR and ACP — and when you need both.
