The electronics industry in Japan represents the biggest consumer electronics industry worldwide. There are numerous companies in the country which produce high-quality electronic products such as television, audio and video players, camcorders and so on. Even since the mid-‘80s, the country has been concentrating locally on technologically sophisticated electronics and new product development. At the same time, the consumer electrical appliance manufacturing has moved overseas, where the production expenses are smaller.
In this article, our company formation consultants in Japan analyze different aspects related to opening a Japanese electronics company and the procedure involved in starting such a business here.
Packaging and labeling regulations in Japan
The Customs services in Japan are very strict when it comes to the quality of packaging and labeling here. An appropriate packing, marking and labeling are crucial to obtain the customs clearance in the country.
Usually, labelling for the majority of imported products is not necessary at the customs clearance phase, however, it is required at the stage of their sale.
Therefore, it is usual for a Japanese importer to affix a label for an imported packing after passing through the Customs.
According to the legislation in Japan, certain foodstuffs, textile products electrical appliances and consumer goods must follow specific labeling rules. Our Japan company formation advisors can provide further details on this matter, as well as assistance related to starting a company in Japan.
These rules are crucial when opening an electronics company in Japan, since it is important to be aware of the packaging and labeling regulations when undertaking such a business in the country.
Product certification in Japan
After the Industrial Standardization Law was revised in 2005, the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) were changed and a new scheme was adopted in 2008.
According to the new JIS mark scheme, the goods certification authorities accredited by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) undertakes a range of tests to check the compliance of goods with JIS and audit the quality management system of facilities where the goods are manufactured.
Our company registration agents in Japan can offer further information related to the product certification in Japan, which is an important aspect when considering setting up an electronics business in this country.
