Inquiry Preparation
What to include in your inquiry.
Clear information helps SHIONAGI Trading understand the request, assess whether supplier communication may be suitable, and consider a possible B2B discussion route.
Product Type or Reference Item
Share the product category, product name, reference URL, image, catalogue page, or specification if available.
Target Market
Tell us where the product will be sold, distributed, used, or discussed.
Estimated Quantity
Provide a realistic quantity range so MOQ and quotation direction can be considered.
Preferred Timing
Include expected order timing, launch period, delivery window, or decision schedule if known.
Packaging or Labeling Needs
Share packaging format, language, barcode, retail packaging, labeling, or documentation needs if known.
Import Requirements if Known
Mention any known restrictions, certifications, documentation, safety, or market-specific requirements.
How It Works
From inquiry to possible next-step discussion.
1. Send Inquiry
Submit product, market, quantity, timing, and requirement details.
2. Clarify the Request
SHIONAGI Trading may ask for additional details if the product, quantity, or target market is unclear.
3. Confirm Supplier Direction
Where the request is suitable, supplier communication in Japan may be considered.
4. Discuss Commercial Conditions
MOQ, lead time, price direction, packaging, labeling, and documentation may be discussed after sufficient information is available.
5. Consider Next Step
If the business basis is workable, quotation, trade-term, or export-related discussion may follow.
Product Store
Product Store is in preparation.
The separate Product Store has not launched yet. Until it is available, overseas buyers should use the Contact page to send structured sourcing inquiries.
Important Note
An inquiry starts a discussion, not an order.
Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee product availability, quotation, supplier access, order acceptance, or supply. Product conditions depend on supplier availability, quantity, target market, documentation needs, and commercial feasibility.
Next Step
Send a clear sourcing inquiry.
Please include the product type, reference item, target market, estimated quantity, preferred timing, and any packaging, labeling, or documentation requirements.
