Samurai Agent is an IOR with deep knowledge and expertise in Amazon.
When beginning an FBA with Amazon Japan, you need an IOR (Importer of Record) with a Japanese address. This is a large obstacle and there are many businesses who are unable to begin selling with FBA in Japan because of it.
Not only does Samurai Agent become the IOR for those companies, but it also provides excellent customer support with extensive knowledge about Amazon.
Our company provides an IOR service that is specialized for Amazon. Please feel free to inquire for more details.
