GenkanCo·Free snapshot
Free · one working day · one product
Four flags on one product, at no cost. Whether anything about it looks like a problem in Japan — not what the requirement is, what it costs, or how to clear it.
The competitor on amazon.co.jp, the yen price, the rating, and what Japanese buyers complain about.
Whether the category looks like it needs Japanese certification, named with the actual law.
The administrative gates that stop shipments and have nothing to do with the product itself.
A search of the Japanese trademark register. Japan is first-to-file, so registration beats use.
Where the snapshot stops
It tells you whether there is something to deal with. It does not tell you what to do about it. Whatever comes back, the flags are named either way — clear ones included, so you can see what was actually looked at. No requirement named in full, no costs, no timelines, no certification route, no order of work, and no verdict on whether to proceed — those are 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.
