Various EU products and services enjoy trade benefits from the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). Yet, access to the Japanese market is still perceived as difficult by EU exporters because of culture, language, trade and other barriers. It is therefore essential for the EU-Japan Centre to provide support regarding business rules, regulations, standards, conformance assessments and best practices.
Launched last September in cooperation with Professor Chieko Nakabayashi, this online training series aims at presenting all what EU companies should know when exporting to Japan (in a practical manner). It already covered numerous topics, such as the requirements for labelling on food products and the rules for quarantines and sanitary clearances at Japanese Customs, and shed light on various technical regulations, ranging from motor vehicles to medical devices.

If you missed these past sessions, please read the report published by the EU-Japan Centre or skim through the presentations' slides, both available on our website upon registration.
