Trade & Customs Strategy Advisor (Japan)

Licensed Japanese Customs Broker with end-to-end experience across trade operations, including trade administration, logistics, and customs clearance. I have also worked closely with officials from Japan’s Ministry of Finance, gaining direct insight into regulatory perspectives and customs policy environments. In addition, I have completed global supply chain strategy coursework, allowing me to integrate practical execution with strategic thinking. I support international companies in managing customs risk, optimizing HS classification, and building efficient, compliant entry strategies for the Japanese market. My experience includes supporting projects exceeding ¥100M in imports and ¥2500M in exports, as well as handling complex product classification for global clients. Going forward, I aim to contribute to the evolution of the trade industry by bridging operational expertise with strategic advisory.
