Pharmaceuticals

Importing pharmaceutical products into Japan requires the relevant import-related licenses, permits, approvals or other regulatory authorizations depending on the product, intended use and transaction structure. KOFUKU does not present pharmaceuticals as direct unlicensed imports or retail sales. Where a transaction is legally possible, importation, sale and supply are handled by appropriately licensed or authorized partner companies, while KOFUKU may coordinate business inquiries and communications.

Customs, certificates, permits and regulated procedures are coordinated with appropriate licensed, registered or specialist partners when required. KOFUKU does not represent itself as performing third-party licensed services where a separate professional authorization is required.
