Chemical compliance in Japan

Authority	METI / MHLW / MOE (CSCL), MHLW (ISHL)
Seaports	Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe
Airports	Tokyo Narita (NRT), Osaka Kansai (KIX)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

New chemical substances must be notified under the Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL), administered jointly by METI, MHLW and MOE, and importers report annual volumes of existing substances. The Industrial Safety and Health Act (ISHL) requires Japanese-language SDS and labels for listed substances, prepared by the importer. APIs need registration in the Japanese Drug Master File system with PMDA and foreign manufacturer accreditation. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and CEPA preference requires a certificate of origin.

Questions

Inorganics & Metals for Japan

Can Zemixal deliver inorganics & metals to Japan?

Yes. We ship by sea to Tokyo and Yokohama, by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

Which documents come with a inorganics & metals shipment to Japan?

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and SDS as standard, plus the bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Anything specific to METI / MHLW / MOE (CSCL), MHLW (ISHL) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Japan take?

Allow 20–30 days for ocean transit or 3–5 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

What does 'trace metals basis' mean on an inorganic product?

It means the stated purity is calculated from the measured levels of metallic impurities, usually by ICP-MS or ICP-OES, rather than from a direct assay of the main component. Non-metallic impurities such as oxygen, carbon or moisture may not be included. Check the COA to see which elements were tested and their limits.

Can metals be cut or sized to my drawing?

Many foils, rods, plates and targets can be supplied in custom dimensions, thicknesses or diameters. Send a drawing or the key measurements with the tolerance you need. We will confirm feasibility, lead time and the purity available in that form before quoting, since some shapes are only made from certain grades.
