It entails consolidating with other cargo on a shared container to optimise space.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> This is particularly beneficial for shipments with a volume less than around <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>13-15 cubic meters (CBM)<\/strong><\/span>, where a full container would not be fully utilised.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, if you are a UK-based auto parts manufacturer needing to send a consignment of <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>10 CBM<\/strong><\/span> to a client in Japan, LCL shipping is ideal. Your goods will be carefully packed and consolidated with other shipments, optimizing resources and keeping your costs down.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> As the name suggests, the LCL freight option only charges based on the space your cargo occupies. The overall cost can be quite flexible due to the variability in the amount of your goods. Furthermore, as LCL shipment costs also include charges for haulage, customs clearance, and other administrative procedures, you have fewer unexpected additional charges to worry about when compared to other shipping options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5712-7-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5712-7-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div class=\"custom-colors featured-widget panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-5712-7-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCL_Full_Container_Load\"><\/span>FCL: Full Container Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>FCL<\/strong><\/span>, or Full Container Load, is a shipping option wherein an entire container is dedicated to a single sender\u2019s goods, offering a safer transportation method.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use: <\/strong>FCL shipping is the go-to option when you have a substantial volume of goods to transport - typically more than <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>15 CBM<\/strong><\/span>. This owes to cost-efficiency as well as the fact that your cargo remains sealed in the same container from the point of origin to the destination, enhancing safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example: <\/strong>For instance, imagine you are a UK based automotive parts manufacturer intending to ship a large assortment of parts to your customer in Japan. Opting for a <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>20'ft<\/strong><\/span> or<span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong> 40'ft<\/strong><\/span> FCL container would provide stability and ensure that all components reach the destination unscathed. This not only safeguards your goods but also upholds your business reputation.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications: <\/strong>Though an FCL shipping quote is higher than LCL (Less than Container Load), the cost per unit shipped is significantly lower when dealing with large quantities. So, while you might shell out more upfront, the long-term value justifies the FCL container expense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5712-8\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-5712-8\" ><div id=\"pgc-5712-8-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5712-8-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-5712-8-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Looking to unlock the complexities of freight forwarding between the UK and Japan?

Simply put, it's how much your cargo weighs when placed on a weighing scale. <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Volumetric Weight<\/strong><\/span>, on the other hand, is a calculation that reflects the density of your shipment. It's a theoretical weight that calculates the space your cargo occupies during transport.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Now, to calculate each of these, different methods apply in Air Freight and Express Air Freight services. For air cargo, volumetric weight is the greater amount when comparing a shipment's actual weight and its dimensional weight. Are you ready for a little math? Let's say you have a box that measures 40cm x 40cm x 40cm and weighs 10kg. For Air Freight, you calculate volumetric weight by multiplying the dimensions (length x width x height) to get cubic centimeters, then dividing by 6,000. So 40cm x 40cm x 40cm equals 64,000 cubic centimeters. Divide that by 6,000 and your volumetric weight is around 10.67kg (23.5lbs).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>However, Express Air Freight services use a slightly different divisor. To calculate volumetric weight, divide the cubic centimeters by 5,000. Using the same box as an example, dividing 64,000 by 5,000 gives a volumetric weight of 12.8kg (28.22 lbs).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>These calculations matter because freight charges are determined based on whichever is higher between the gross (actual) and volumetric (dimensional) weight. Understanding this metric can result in significant cost savings for your business. In our example, the chargeable weight would be the volumetric weight for Express Air Freight, since 12.8kg is higher than the actual weight of 10kg. But 10.67 kg in Air Cargo is just slightly higher than actual weight; thus, it depends on the service you choose in this scenario.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div

So let's start your journey through customs together, making sense of it all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"48\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_calculate_duties_taxes_when_importing_from_UK_to_Japan\"><\/span>How to calculate duties &amp; taxes when importing from UK to Japan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNavigating the labyrinth of import duties and taxes when shipping from the UK to Japan doesn't have to be overwhelming. This can be simplified by understanding some fundamental elements. The most crucial points are the country of origin, the Harmonized System (HS) code which classifies your product, the Customs Value which is usually the cost of the product, shipping, and insurance (CIF), and the applicable Tariff Rate \u2014 essentially the tax applied by Japanese customs. Other possible charges could be consumption tax, excise tax, or any additional fees. The initial task while doing this calculation, and indeed the bedrock of determining duties and taxes, is pinpointing the country where the goods were initially manufactured or produced. Armed with this information, you're ready to start untangling the duty and tax requirements of your particular shipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"49\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 1 - Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3>\n<p>Identifying the <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>country of origin<\/strong> <\/span>is not just paperwork; it's the bedrock of your shipment strategy. Below are five reasons why.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>1. Trade agreements<\/strong><\/span> - The UK and Japan have negotiated Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA), reducing or eliminating duties on numerous items.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>2. Import restrictions<\/strong><\/span> - Knowing the origin of goods can help you sidestep a regulatory minefield as Japan has distinct regulations that apply only to certain countries.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>3. Perfect pricing<\/strong><\/span> - Customs duties can make or break your profit margin. With the right origin data, you can work out a precise estimation.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>4. Informed decision<\/strong> <\/span>- Duties vary enormously depending on product origin. By identifying it, you ensure a calculated choice.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>5. Customs Compliance<\/strong><\/span> - Wrong origin information can lead to customs issues or delays - neither of which you want.<\/p>\n<p>Benefit from these insights and don't treat the country of origin as an obvious aspect. Embrace it as your strategy's cornerstone. Remember, an accurate HS code is the outcome of acknowledging all these factors. Happy shipping!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"50\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 2 - Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Harmonized System (HS) Codes<\/strong><\/span> are essential tools in international trade, serving as universal economic language and codes for goods. These codes, adopted by most countries, are instrumental in classifying traded products, determining customs duties and taxes, and ensuring all parties use a consistent classification for goods.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Often, your supplier will be familiar with the specific HS code for their goods as they frequently deal with imports and exports. Asking them directly is the simplest way to get this information.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, if acquiring your HS code from your supplier isn't an option, you can easily locate it through a few straightforward steps. Begin by visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/strong><\/a> for a well-designed HS lookup tool. All you need to do is type your product's name into the search bar.<\/p>\n<p>Upon searching, check the Heading\/Subheading column. You will find the specific HS code for your product here.<\/p>\n<p>Your chosen HS Code needs to be accurate. A cautionary note \u2013 incorrect HS codes can lead to a myriad of issues, including delayed shipments and even undue fines. The exact code ensures a smooth customs clearance process and accurate duty calculation.<\/p>\n<p>Here's an infographic showing you how to read an HS code. Familiarizing yourself with the structure of the code can also be beneficial in your shipping journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-4\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"51\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-987 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png\" alt=\"hs code uk\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png 640w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-5\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"52\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 3 - Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3>\n<p>Calculating the<span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong> Customs Value<\/strong><\/span> might seem tricky, but don't worry, you got this! In essence, the Customs Value isn't just the sticker price of your goods; it is the complete cost of getting your goods into Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Here's your formula: Customs Value = Price of Goods + International Shipping Cost + Insurance Cost. This bows down to the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Say you have a shipment of antique tea sets from the UK, costing $5000, while freight cost you about $500, and insurance was at $100. In this case, your CIF or Customs Value would be $5,600<\/strong><\/span>. The customs authorities in Japan will base their calculations for duty and taxes on this total. It's not so bad once you break it down, right? Remember, every penny counts in this process!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-6\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"53\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 4 - Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3>\n<p>An<span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong> import tariff<\/strong> <\/span>is a tax or duty placed by governments on imported goods. For goods imported from the UK to Japan, the two main types of tariffs used are the Ad valorem tariff (a percentage of the value of the goods) and the Specific tariff (a specific amount per unit).<\/p>\n<p>To identify the applicable tariff for your goods, you'll need the HS code identified earlier. Let's take an HS code for bicycles (8712.00) as an example. You will use the UK's Trade Tariff tool found at this link -<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/trade-tariff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> UK Trade Tariff<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>1. Click on 'Look up commodity codes, duty, and VAT rates.'<br \/>\n2. Enter your HS code (e.g., 8712.00 for bicycles).<br \/>\n3. You will see the full list of duties and taxes applicable to your product.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Suppose the tariff rate provided by the tool for bicycles is 10%. If your bicycle has Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) value of $200, the import duty amount is calculated as: Duty rate (%) X CIF value ($), hence; 10% X $200 = $20. This would be your Import duty payable.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Armed with this knowledge, it should now be easier for you to calculate the import duties for your goods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-7\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"54\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 5 - Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3>\n<p>Once you've paid the standard tariff rate, don't assume that your <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>import duties<\/strong><\/span> end there. Other duty types also factor in, dictated by the country of origin and the nature of your product.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, excise duties apply to specific goods like alcohol or tobacco. If your product falls into these categories, you may have to brace yourself for extra charges upon arrival in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Anti-dumping taxes are another charge that could possibly sneak up on you. Japan, like many other countries, imposes these to safeguard local industries from foreign companies pricing goods below market price.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, and most importantly, is the Value Added Tax (VAT). This is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added to it, from production to its point of sale.<span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong> The standard VAT rate in Japan is an estimated 10%. So, if your shipment is worth $10,000, the estimated VAT could be an additional $1,000.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Remember these are just examples though, the rates can fluctuate and the final amount will depend on different variables. Always double-check with authorities or rely on your freight forwarder for accurate numbers. Understanding these duties and taxes are the key to keeping costs predictable and preventing any shipment delays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-20-0-8\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"55\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 6 - Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3>\n<p>Calculating <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>customs duties<\/strong><\/span> in Japan when importing from the UK involves the accurate evaluation of customs value, VAT, and potential anti-dumping taxes. However, the general thumb rule is: Customs Duties = Customs Value x Duty Rate, and Total tax payable = Customs Duties + VAT + Anti-dumping taxes + Excise Duty (when applicable).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Let's look at three common scenarios:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">1. Customs duties only: With a customs value of $1000 and a metal import duty rate of 6.2%, you'd pay $62 in customs duty.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">2. Customs duties and VAT: If you imported plastic goods valued at $500, attracting a 3.9% duty rate and 10% VAT, you'd pay $19.50 in customs duty and $51.95 in VAT, totaling $71.45.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">3. Customs duties, VAT, anti-dumping taxes, and Excise Duty: For a $2000 clothing order attracting a 9.6% duty rate, 10% VAT, 30% anti-dumping tax, and 20% Excise Duty, you'd pay: $192 in customs duty, $219.2 in VAT, $660 in anti-dumping taxes, and $414.24 in Excise Duty, totaling $1485.44.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Figuring out these calculations can be complex and time-consuming, not to mention potential inaccuracies can lead to overcharges.

We'll decode the essential documents you'll need: Bill of Lading, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and Documents of Conformity (CE Standard). Let's unpack their meanings, roles and why they're pivotal to a smooth shipping process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-23-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"61\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bill_of_Lading\"><\/span>Bill of Lading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Understanding the <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Bill of Lading<\/strong><\/span> can simplify your customs journey from the UK to Japan. Think of it as a 'passport' for your goods, marking the transition of ownership. Often generated by a shipping line or freight forwarder, this document carries the freight details, shipment origin, and consignee, and provides proof of the contract of carriage. For speed and security, consider the electronic 'telex' release. It lets you authorize your shipment's release digitally, speeding up the process considerably. Shipping by air instead? You'll need an Air Waybill (AWB); it serves a similar purpose in air freight. Remember: always keep these documents accurate and accessible; they're your key to hassle-free shipping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-23-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"62\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Packing_List\"><\/span>Packing List<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Shipping goods from UK to Japan? The <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Packing List<\/strong><\/span> will become your best friend. As a shipper, you're responsible for creating it and precision is key. Consider it as the comprehensive directory to your shipment - detailing quantities, descriptions and measurements of what you're transporting. Both sea and air freight demand it. But why? Let's paint a picture. Imagine your consignment, containing car parts, arrives at Yokohama port. Without an accurate Packing List, Japanese customs authorities can't verify the cargo contents align with the document's description. This might result in delays and additional inspection costs. So, next time you're prepping for a shipment to Japan, remember the humble Packing List - your golden ticket to a smoother customs clearance process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-23-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"63\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Commercial_Invoice\"><\/span>Commercial Invoice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Navigating customs clearance between the UK and Japan? An accurate <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Commercial Invoice<\/strong><\/span> is key. This document should detail your shipment's full description, value, and country of origin - the vital info that customs officers use to apply duties and taxes. For instance, if you\u2019re shipping electronics, being precise about model numbers can prevent costly classification errors. To streamline your customs clearance, ensure your Commercial Invoice aligns with your Packing List and Bill of Lading. Remember, inconsistencies can trigger delays. Imagine a shipment of British tea conflicted by an unclear description, stuck in Japanese customs due to mismatched documentation. Avoid that scenario - take your time, and get it right the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-23-0-4\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"64\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Certificate_of_Origin\"><\/span>Certificate of Origin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Navigating customs between the UK and Japan can be a labyrinth. Your shield? The <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Certificate of Origin<\/strong><\/span>. This nifty document confirms your goods' country of manufacture, playing a central role in securing pegged customs duty rates. Imagine you're shipping boutique furniture made in Scotland. Without this certificate, you might find yourself bogged down with hefty duties at Japanese customs. But armed with a properly filled out Certificate of Origin, you can take advantage of preferential rates under the Japan-UK Free Trade Agreement. Remember, every detail matters when filling it out so double-check it! Mistakes can cost your business time and money. So, make it a priority. By doing so, your goods will sail smoothly from Glasgow to Tokyo!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-23-0-5\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"65\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Certificate_of_Conformity_CE_standard\"><\/span>Certificate of Conformity (CE standard)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>When shipping goods between the UK and Japan, the<span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong> Certificate of Conformity (CoC)<\/strong><\/span> is key. Although the UK has since left the EU, it's pertinent to understand the context. The CoC corresponds to the European CE standard, attesting that goods meet specific safety or performance requirements. In effect, it says, \u2018this product is up-to-standard and good to go\u2019. It differs from quality assurance, which is about maintaining a product's quality throughout its lifecycle. Although US also has its equivalents like the FCC or UL Marks, the CE mark has been a more obvious predecessor to the UK's own UKCA marking. It's smart business to ensure your products comply with UKCA marking when exporting goods to the UK. Keep your CoC handy for a smoother customs clearance process between UK and Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5712-23-0-6\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"66\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_EORI_number_Economic_Operator_Registration_Identification\"><\/span>Your EORI number (Economic Operator Registration Identification)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Shuffling through heaps of paperwork for sending goods to Japan can be a headache, right? Simplify it by obtaining an <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>EORI Number<\/strong><\/span>, a unique identifier for businesses shipping internationally. Like a social security number for your freight, it smooths out the process, making it easier for customs officials to track your shipments. It's doubly important if you're importing and exporting within the EU, though not necessary for Japan directly. Ironically, despite Brexit, the UK still needs an EORI, adding a twist to the process.
