Export to Japan 25: Japan’s Distribution System, Sales Channels, and e-Commerce

October 20 2021

20-10-21 | 10:30 - 11:00 AM CET

This is the second round of the online training series “What you should know when exporting to Japan”. It briefs in 30 minutes on the latest information on export processes and procedures relating to EU exports to Japan. It also covers trade and administrative rules and regulations relevant to EU businesses which are new to exporting as well as those which carry out regular, on-going businesses with Japan.

Focus is given to small and medium sized EU enterprises (SMEs) and to those sectors which offer growing opportunities to EU exports to Japan, i.e., food and health sectors.

What distribution system, sales channels and e-commerce are available in Japan for EU exporters?

The heart of Japanese distribution is a wholesaler distribution model where wholesalers act as a business solution to both manufacturers/producers and retailers by taking on all logistic transactions, promotions of goods and financial risks.  Consequently, manufacturers/producers and retailers apply competitive strategies to control supply chains from upstream and from downstream of supply chains.
