We support overseas sourcing and exports of Japanese products, with chemicals and functional materials as our core business, alongside components, fabricated parts and consumer goods.

We coordinate with overseas suppliers and manufacturers, focusing on Japan, China, South Korea and Malaysia.

Product searches and sourcing-only inquiries are welcome

  • Manufacturer unknown? You can still inquire.
  • Product name unknown? You can still inquire.
  • Start with a drawing or sample.
  • Ask us to find alternatives to existing products.

Discuss the support you need—from supplier searches and factory price negotiations to samples, quality and specification checks, import/export arrangements and delivery in Japan. Start with the application, quantity, target delivery date and whatever information you have.

Feasibility, scope and costs are confirmed individually after reviewing the product and your requirements.

Chemicals and Dangerous Goods

We welcome inquiries about shipping small quantities of chemicals.

For dangerous goods, we also review composition, UN number, hazard class and flash point, and investigate the required documents. Conditions vary by product, concentration, quantity, transport mode and country; shipment of every product cannot be guaranteed.

Inspection and Quality Control for Overseas Sourcing

When sourcing products from overseas factories, EIKO reviews the intended use and specifications and coordinates with suppliers to reduce misunderstandings about quality requirements.

  1. Factory and supplier selection: We research candidates according to the required specifications, quantity and delivery schedule.
  2. Specification and drawing review: We confirm conditions such as dimensions, materials, performance and appearance with the factory.
  3. Production progress checks: When required, we monitor production and coordinate specification changes or issues.
  4. Pre-shipment checks and inspection: Depending on the product and transaction terms, we check items such as appearance, quantity, dimensions and packaging.
  5. Response to defects: If a defect or specification discrepancy is found, we discuss the cause and corrective action with the factory.

Inspection scope and methods vary depending on the product, quantity, factory and transaction terms.
