  • 100Questions for Trading with Japan
    x 100 Questions for Trading with Japan April 2014 ASEAN PROMOTION CENTRE ON TRADE, INVESTMENT AND TOURISM Under the activity of ASEAN-Japan Centre in FY2013, this book was translated from Japanese into English based on the book “100 Questions for Trading with Japan” issued by Manufactured Imports and Investment Promotion Organization (MIPRO). This material has been prepared based on the information collected in the summer of 2012. The contents might be changed due to the amendments of laws etc., for details, please contact to the address at the end of the book for further information. Preface The ASEAN-Japan Centre is pleased to introduce the book “100 Questions for Trading with Japan” and expresses our gratitude to the Manufactured Imports and Investment Promotion Organization (MIPRO) for sharing this invaluable book which was designed to serve Japanese importers and foreign exporters. This book is written in a question-and-answer form covering the rules and regulations, which govern operations such as customs procedures, foreign payments, etc. Further, the book also takes into account various business sectors, which are of great attention to foreign exporters towards the Japanese market. This may serve as a useful tool for stakeholders from ASEAN member states who wish to export their products into Japan. Since the content of the book was originally designed in Japanese language for Japanese companies, however, readers who are foreigners outside Japan may sometimes “get a feeling” of touching a regulation/instruction/advice for a Japanese entity. For example, a popular phrase “please contact the relevant authority in the nearest prefecture/city where your office is located for further details” is really for a Japanese businessperson rather than for a foreign one.
