Our Services: Build what comes next with OPTI.

OPTI uses AI to develop and maintain software tailored to your emerging requirements for more efficient business operations. We connect your team with Japan-side partners through chat tools, document and data storage, customs dashboards, product catalogs and AI customer support. Maintenance and improvements continue as your requirements change.

Yes. OPTI supports e-commerce tax filings in more than 100 countries through its network of local tax professionals. As an Andersen Global collaborating firm, we also coordinate worldwide tax registration, filing and litigation support with independent member and collaborating firms. Qualified local professionals carry out the relevant tax and legal work.

Yes. We assess inventory commitments, storage and shipping costs, delivery speed, customs and returns. We then coordinate a logistics model suited to each product, together with JCT, ACP, competitor research and marketing workstreams where relevant.

Yes. We coordinate product-specific applicability reviews, technical documents, testing and conformity assessment, notification information, inspection records and labeling with specialist providers. Requirements depend on the designated product category and sales structure; not every product is subject to PSE or PSC.

OPTI establishes steering committees, uses shared communication tools and provides regular reports on progress, budget, risks and decisions. Bilingual meetings and action logs keep your team and Japan-side partners aligned through new business launches and supply-chain changes.

Yes. OPTI coordinates tax-engine implementation, ERP and commerce integrations, e-invoicing readiness, data mapping and testing. Our experience includes Avalara implementation, Vertex recognition and participation in GENA. The appropriate technology and professional scope depend on the engagement.

Yes. We coordinate product and care information, Japanese labeling, artwork approval, label production and attachment with specialist partners. We can connect that work to warehousing, licensed customs brokers and delivery planning.

OPTI leads Japan market-entry programs, coordinates qualified specialists and operating partners, and builds the data and controls needed to run the operation. Support covers market research, supplier and customer development, launch planning, local setup, logistics, custom software and ongoing reporting.

No. OPTI coordinates the program and works with its professional network to assess applicable laws. Qualified tax professionals, legal counsel and licensed customs brokers carry out the relevant reserved activities. OPTI can separately act as ACP or JCT Fiscal Representative under agreed appointments; those roles do not replace professional licences.

An overseas seller acting as a non-resident importer of its own FBA inventory must appoint an Attorney for Customs Procedures (ACP) and notify Japan Customs before the customs procedures. Without the required arrangement, that import route cannot proceed. A genuine Japanese importer is a different structure. OPTI coordinates the roles and preparation with appropriate providers.

A tax agent supports a non-resident business’s Japanese tax administration; qualified-invoice registration is a separate step. For B2B buyers, qualified invoices generally support input tax credits, subject to exceptions and relief, so registration can affect supplier selection. Consumers do not claim those business credits; high-value B2C purchases instead benefit from clear prices, invoices and support. OPTI can act as Tax Agent and coordinate registration and qualified tax professionals.

OPTI can scope Japan-entry programs for game and digital companies, e-commerce businesses, apparel and consumer brands, B2B companies, fine jewelry businesses and new ventures. The requirements and appropriate providers depend on the product and business model.

Yes. Engagements can cover a paid launch program, a defined specialist-coordination workstream, or recurring operations and improvement. Scope, deliverables and commercial terms are agreed for the engagement.

Yes. OPTI can build purpose-built databases, dashboards, workflows, approval processes, integrations and management reporting to support the operating model.

Representative-office support is considered where the business model is eligible. Director or comparable local leadership support is considered case by case after suitability, governance, independence, liability, insurance and legal review; appointments are not automatic.
