★EC Import Service
ACP is essential for overseas B2C sellers.
Without a Japanese address, ACP makes customs clearance possible.
What is ACP?
ACP (Attorney for Customs Procedures) is a legally appointed customs representative in Japan.
It allows individuals and companies without a base in Japan to import goods into Japan
and complete customs procedures in compliance with Japanese regulations.
In short:
ACP is the key requirement for non-resident sellers to import into Japan.
ACP services are designed for:
- Individuals or companies without a Japanese address or entity
- Overseas B2C sellers selling to Japan
- Sellers using Amazon, Rakuten, and other online platforms
- Businesses engaging in cross-border e-commerce to Japanese consumers
If you sell products from overseas to customers in Japan,
you are considered a non-resident importer — ACP is required.
