What is ACP?
In principle, Japan Customs does not permit foreign entities to act as the Importer of Record (*IOR).
*The IOR is the entity responsible for the import of the goods to Japan and will be responsible for all the Customs duties and taxes.
However, even such a foreign entity can act as a non-resident importer (IOR), if you appoint an ACP (Attorney for Customs Procedure) who can handle the customs procedure on your behalf.
We, SK Advisory provide this service as being ACP. On behalf of a non-resident clients we support to ensuring the import customs procedure.
We support many import projects including E-commerce such as Amazon’s FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) program and Rakuten for the international sellers.
