Export your IT goods to Japan using our IOR services.

Some companies have IT equipment that needs to ship to Japan. However, that company doesn't have an entity in Japan, so the company cannot act as the Importer Of Record (IOR) and ship to Japan.

Fitspot supports companies that do not have a Japanese entity and need assistance with customs clearance, delivery, etc., in Japan to solve their problems.

Fitspot would like to contribute to your business expansion to Japan.

Do you have any problems with shipping IT equipment to Japan?

No entity in Japan

When a foreign company exports goods to Japan, a Japanese entity is required to be the importer on the Japanese side.

Importer of Record

We cannot act as the IOR. So we need assistance with customs clearance (payment of duties, taxes and other fees, etc.).

No support on the Japanese side

We have a customer and a delivery address for goods in Japan, but we want business support on the Japanese side, such as import declarations, customs clearance procedures, and delivery support.
