Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled the questions we most often receive about our products, purchasing,
and transactions. For anything else, please feel free to contact us.

What should we do as a first step?

First, please share your product overview with TR TRADING (product catalog, specifications, certification status, sales record, etc.). After an initial hearing, we will propose an initial evaluation of market suitability and an introduction scenario. Please feel free to contact us.

Can you arrange meetings with customers and partners when we visit Japan?

Absolutely. TR TRADING will coordinate meetings with potential customers, administrative bodies, testing organizations, partner companies, etc., when manufacturers visit Japan. We can also arrange interpreters.

If TR TRADING handles products from other companies, won’t there be a conflict of interest?

TR TRADING has a policy of avoiding competition among handled products within each category. In the case of an exclusive agency contract, it will be explicitly stated in the contract that we will not handle competing products in the same category.

What language will contract negotiations be in? Can you handle them in English?

Yes, business meetings and contract negotiations with TR TRADING will be handled in English. We prepare bilingual versions (English and Japanese) for contracts.

How are inventory bases handled within Japan?

TR TRADING partners with domestic logistics warehouses in Japan. We propose optimal inventory solutions tailored to requirements such as high-mix low-volume handling, temperature control, and security management.

What should we do about transportation and logistics to Japan?

TR TRADING collaborates with reliable international forwarders to support the arrangement of air and sea freight. We have extensive experience in transporting special items such as dangerous goods and precision equipment. We can also flexibly accommodate Incoterms.

Can our products sell in Japan if we don’t have an after-sales service or warranty system in place?

Japanese customers consider the post-installation support system to be a crucial factor in their purchasing decisions. TR TRADING will act as the primary contact window and establish a local technical support system to ensure customers’ peace of mind.
