No payment details are taken and no mailing list is involved. Details are handled as described in the privacy notice.

Who is already there

The competitor on amazon.co.jp, the yen price, the rating, and what Japanese buyers complain about.

Whether the product is blocked

Whether the category looks like it needs Japanese certification, named with the actual law.

The catch

The administrative gates that stop shipments and have nothing to do with the product itself.

Whether the name is taken

A search of the Japanese trademark register. Japan is first-to-file, so registration beats use.

And a verdict

Proceed, proceed with conditions, or don't. The snapshot says what. It does not say how: no costs, no timelines, no certification route, no order of work. That is the Compliance Flag Report.

Scope. GenkanCo is advisory. It is not a law firm, a certification body, or a registered Japan compliance agent, and nothing it produces is legal advice. A snapshot is a short read on public sources, not a clearance opinion. Full terms of business.
