Import goods relabelling and repacking support in Tokyo
Goods have cleared the port and the Japanese labels are printed, so we apply them, repack the cartons and check the result as a fixed-price contracted task.
The last step before an imported product can be sold
An overseas supplier ships in its own packaging, with its own language on the box. For sale in Japan, the importer attaches a Japanese label with the product name, importer details and whatever other information the rules for that product category require. Deciding what that text must say is the importer’s responsibility, and often involves advice from a specialist. Our part begins afterwards: applying the printed labels exactly as you instruct.
Where the label goes
Give us a sample item with the label already placed as you want it, or a drawing with measurements. We attach labels to the same position on every item, with the same orientation, away from seams, barcodes and existing marks that must stay visible. For curved surfaces, cartons and polybags, the position rules differ, so we ask for one sample of each pack type before the batch begins. Our supervisor photographs the first finished piece and sends it for your approval by message. Only after you approve does the team continue with the rest of the batch, which protects you from a whole carton being labelled the wrong way round. If you change your mind about the position after seeing the first piece, the change costs one sample, not the batch.
Covering, correcting and replacing old labels
Some goods arrive with a label that must be covered, a price sticker that must be removed or a wrong barcode that must be replaced. We follow your instruction piece by piece: cover with the supplied sticker, peel off and apply new, or leave untouched. We never decide on our own which text is correct. If a piece looks different from the sample, such as a different colour code, a different pack or a printing fault, it is set aside with a photo and listed for your decision.
Repacking, re-boxing and bundling
After labelling, the goods are returned to their cartons or moved to new ones. Typical tasks are re-boxing items in inner cartons of a set quantity, bundling two items with a band, inserting an instruction leaflet in Japanese, and packing outer cartons to the weight and size you specify for easy handling at your warehouse. Light items that two hands can carry are within scope. Counts are recorded per carton, and the total is reconciled with the quantity you declared. A short summary of cartons opened, packed and closed is included in the report, so your warehouse can receive the goods against a clear list.
Counting and carton-level checks
Imported shipments can be a few pieces short or over. Our team opens cartons as part of the task and counts as it goes. A difference between the packing list and the actual count goes to the supervisor, who reports it by message with a photo, without adjusting any figures on our own. Visual checks for visible damage, wet cartons or crushed packs are made against your criteria, and anything unusual is set aside and photographed for your decision.
How the contract works: you define it, our supervisor delivers it
You tell us the task, quantity, deadline and quality standard. Our supervisor leads our own team on site and answers for the result, so you do not give instructions to individual team members and no one is placed under your direction. Safety rules at your unit are briefed by the supervisor before work starts. The task is carried out with our operations partner Global Access Co., Ltd. Because the instructions are given once, in English or Japanese, a foreign-based buyer can approve them without being on site.
A fixed price from quantity and pack type
Send the number of cartons and pieces, the type of label and pack, photos of the goods and storage space, and the deadline. We reply with one fixed price for the batch, confirmed by message before we start. If the real count or pack type differs from the description, the supervisor tells you before continuing and the revised price is agreed by message.
What we do not do with imported goods
We do not write label text, check whether a label meets any regulation, arrange customs, drive or transport goods, handle food that needs a licence, regulated pharmaceuticals, hazardous or temperature-controlled goods, or operate forklifts. We make no claim to licences or certifications. If your product category may be regulated, tell us, and we apply only what you supply and mark any doubtful item for you instead of guessing.
Areas, language and putting it right
We work across Tokyo’s 23 wards and in Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, with travel cost stated before confirmation outside the 23 wards. Requests are accepted at any hour. After the batch, a photo or progress report shows what was done. If something was not done to the agreed standard and you report it within 24 hours, we put it right at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
Can you write or check the Japanese label text?
No. You supply the text and we apply the printed labels exactly as instructed. Deciding what a label must say stays with the importer.
What if an item looks different from the approved sample?
It is set aside with a photo and listed for your decision. We do not decide on our own.
Can an overseas buyer approve the work without visiting?
Yes. The supervisor sends a photo of the first finished piece by message, and work continues after you approve it.
How is the price set for a relabelling batch?
From carton and piece counts, pack type and photos. We reply within 1 hour with a fixed price, confirmed by message before work starts.
