A Guide to Importing, Exporting and Doing Business in Japan

Japan holds an important place in the global market and enjoys lucrative business relations with several countries. Enterprises involved in trade with Japan, will find doing business with the Japanese to be both challenging and rewarding. Although, importing and exporting goods into this country is very profitable for Western businesses as a result of the growing Japanese economy, cultural differences can give rise to unexpected issues. In addition to possible cultural misunderstandings, manufacturers and traders will also need to deal with the fierce competition in the Japanese market.

The importing of goods into Japan also requires a fair amount of investment in advance, making a comprehensive market analysis essential for anyone planning to do business with Japan. Importing and exporting into Japan involves various procedures that you should familiarise yourself with if you are considering doing business with Japan.

All shipments entering Japan have to go through an import declaration process at the regional Customs office. The NACCS (Nippon Automated Cargo Clearance System) is used in Japan, and may involve the Sea NACCS or Air NACCS, depending on your method of transport.

In Japan, there are two kinds of customs clearance processes, namely, manifest clearance, low value declaration and high value declaration. It is necessary that the required documentation be produced and all regulations be complied with for your goods to enter the country. The documents required include an air waybill, a commercial invoice, a certificate of origin, an ATA carnet, health certificates and declarations of antiquity where applicable.

One must also keep in mind the country’s regulations regarding food, plants, animals, narcotics, pharmaceuticals and dangerous goods. It is necessary to make sure that your goods do not contravene any laws when they are being imported or exported. The Japanese also have strict laws relating to foreign trade and exchange and these should be diligently followed.

When doing business with Japan, a Customs valuation, along with a description of the goods, needs to be provided. Excise duties are applicable on goods containing tobacco or alcohol and any import or export duties or taxes should be appropriately paid. Japan does not impose Customs fees or exchange controls.

As for the exporting of goods, an export declaration process has to be followed during export of goods From Japan. Similar documentation is also required for import.

If you are planning to do business with Japan, you should also examine the various aspects of business relations where culture plays an important role. Japanese business culture, for example is rooted in the concept of teamwork and united efforts. Discipline and punctuality are very important, and there are complex procedures for negotiations and business relations. . Etiquette is strictly followed in Japan and showing respect is essential; age, family and reputation are all of great relevance during business interactions. During negotiations, it is vital to exercise diplomacy and politeness and to be willing to compromise.

Antique Vase?

Nippon, 15 1/2″ tall,Letters ESO in a heart, handpainted. Vase has Two Handles with Painted Roses and a trim between handles of flowers and leaves. All trimmed in gold and painted Light Green base. This vase may be over 100 years old. Belonged to an aunt’s mother (aunt being 94)

It was made for export to the North American market between 1891 and 1921.

In 1890, the American McKinley tariff law decreed that all goods made for export to the U.S. had to be marked with the country of origin.
Japan at this time chose to use the word Nippon. In 1921, the U.S. government decided Nippon was no longer acceptable. From then on, goods were Marked Japan.

This provides today’s Japanese Porcelain collector with an easy dating guide.

HOW TO LOCATE A REPUTABLE APPRAISER:
Gather referrals from friends and appraising associations.
Write to appraising associations and request their membership directories. Listed below are two of the largest appraising associations in the United States:
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS
P.O. Box 17265
Washington, DC 20041
(800) 272-8258
APPRAISERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
386 Park Ave South – 20th Floor
New York, NY 10016
Phone: (212) 889-5404
Fax: (212) 889-5503
Web Site: www.appraisersassoc.org
Email: aaa1@rcn.com
ISA
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS
1131 SW 7th St #105
Renton, WA 98055
Toll Free: (888) 472-4732
Fax: (206) 241-0436
Web Site: www.isa-appraisers.org
Email: isa@isa-appraisers.org
SPECIAL NOTE: The American Society of Appraisers estimates that only 25 percent of the 120,000 appraisers in the United States belongs to one of the major evaluation societies. Such societies establish codes of ethics by which their members are required to adhere. In addition to a code of ethics, the appraisers are tested for their expertise.
OR:
Refer to the Yellow Pages in the Telephone Book under “Appraisers” of “Antique Dealers.”
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU LOCATE AN APPRAISER:
Review their credentials
Verify their membership to an appraising association
Request references
Determine appraisal fees
Request a written contract which outlines the following items:
The scope of work
The delivery date of the appraisal
The appraisal fee
The objective nature of appraisal findings
A statement that the appraiser cannot act as an advocate or negotiator in disputes over appraised goods.
Once you can establish the history of your pieces and they have been authenticated, i do not believe that you will have any problems selling them at any of the best of the above Auction Houses. The historical aspect of these sort of things can far exceed the normal and nominal fees usually obtained, unless of course they are also from an important maker,artist etc.
If you have the time, you could also go to your local library and select a few different books. There are several available and you’ll be able to compare information and prices.
Go to the book store in the antiques section. I often find books that help in identifying the piece, style and maker.

Hope this helped.
Cheers!
