ACP Japan is honored to support international companies and government organizations participating in EXPO 2025 Osaka, Japan, by serving as their Attorney for Customs Procedures (ACP) — also referred to as Agent for Customs Procedures — to ensure smooth and compliant import/export operations.
Even without a physical address in Japan, overseas exhibitors can import goods under their own name by appointing an authorized ACP such as ACP Japan, allowing them to act as the Importer of Record (IOR).
Without a properly designated IOR, general customs clearance in Japan cannot be completed.
We’ve received numerous urgent inquiries from exhibitors whose goods have already arrived in Japan without prior ACP arrangements — often due to a lack of awareness about the ACP requirement.
(Considering how common this situation has become, we believe the EXPO organizers should have provided clearer communication on this matter to international participants.)
If you or your affiliated exhibitors are in need of ACP support or are encountering import-related challenges in Japan, feel free to reach out to us. Our team is prepared to respond quickly and reliably.
As a trusted ACP provider, ACP Japan is proud to play a small yet meaningful role in this once-in-a-generation global event. We remain committed to helping international exhibitors navigate Japanese import and export procedures with confidence and peace of mind.
