India Water & Environmental Services Export to Japan

Compliance Certifications

Trade Bloc / Agreement

CEPA

Achieve the key certifications for Japan market access: EU Water Framework · CE Machinery · ISO 14001. Certification timelines vary from 4 weeks to 24 months — plan this well before first shipment.

Obtain RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) from the relevant EPC. This enables Certificate of Origin issuance for FTA preference claiming and access to government export incentives (RoDTEP, advance authorisation).

Attend the most relevant trade fair for your vertical in Japan. Submit a Mandate with AJG — we introduce you to qualified, pre-screened buyers on a commission-only basis.

Verify applicable FTA preference on your HS code for Japan. Calculate RoDTEP scrip entitlement. Model CIF vs FOB pricing to present EU buyer with full landed cost.

Prepare complete documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, CoO for FTA preference, product-specific certificates, and B/L. Ensure ECGC buyer cover is in place before first open account shipment.
