Built to clear Japan's bar.

HNK Factory prepares the manufacturer-side documentation Japanese buyers need: certificates of origin for JTEPA / AJCEP preferential tariff paths, composition and process documents for the Food Sanitation Act import notification, and a 100% fruit, additive-free puree line that keeps positive-list compliance review simple. Reefer shipments FOB Bangkok / Laem Chabang to all major Japanese container ports.

Tariff path — JTEPA / AJCEP

Preferential rates under the Japan–Thailand EPA or the ASEAN–Japan CEP can apply to Thai fruit products with a certificate of origin, which we issue with each shipment. Applicable rates depend on HS classification — we confirm the classification and current rate per product with your customs broker before quoting.

Import compliance, prepared from our side

  • Composition, specification and process documents for the Food Sanitation Act import notification (食品等輸入届出)
  • Health certificates and certificates of analysis per lot
  • Additive-free formulation — the Pro Puree line is 100% fruit, unsweetened, which keeps Japan's additive positive-list review straightforward
  • Halal, HACCP, GMP, ISO 9001 certificates on file

Frozen changes the quarantine picture

Fresh Thai fruit faces some of the strictest plant-quarantine requirements in the world when entering Japan. Our SKUs ship frozen and processed at −18°C, which typically routes them through the food-sanitation track instead — your importer confirms the exact requirements per product before first shipment.

The format Japanese kitchens already use

Pâtisseries, fruit parlors, kakigōri programs and bars in Japan already work in the 1 kg professional puree format — most of it re-imported from European processors. We supply the same format from the origin: unsweetened tropical fruit, processed in-season in Thailand.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide certificates of origin for JTEPA or AJCEP preferential tariffs?

Yes. A certificate of origin is issued with each shipment on request. Final applicable rates depend on HS classification — confirm with your customs broker.

Can you support Japan's import notification process?

We prepare the manufacturer-side documents: composition statements, specifications, process descriptions and certificates per lot. Your importer files the notification; we answer documentation follow-ups directly.

Do the purees meet Japan's food-additive rules?

The Pro Puree 1 kg line is 100% fruit — unsweetened, with no preservatives or other additives — which keeps positive-list compliance review straightforward. Full composition statements are provided per SKU.
