Ordering industrial spare parts for delivery to Japan
A courier asking for money at the door always asks at the moment nobody can change anything — so the landed price is not a figure but a risk you order along with the part. On shukchok duty stands in the total before you agree to it, and the price above the specification table before you sign in.
Across the border
Duty stands in the cart, not at your door
You know how it goes. A part falls due, five suppliers get written to, and three quotations come back that mean different things. By the time one of them turns into a release, two weeks are gone — for a part that was manufactured long ago and sat on a shelf the whole time.
On a delivery into Japan a second uncertainty sits on top of that: what the courier will ask for at the door is something nobody knows in advance. That part is settled here before you order. Duty and import charges are collected during the ordering process and stand in the total. The amount you agree to is the amount.
That sounds like the kind of promise you only get to read after signing in, so it is up front instead: shukchok is an open marketplace for industrial goods, one you can buy from and list on — the price in yen at the position, and underneath it material, operating limits, design and size as a table. Which delivery term applies to an article is stated on the article.
- A specification table on 114 of 114 articles — material, operating limits, design
- Customs tariff number on 114 of 114, manufacturer named at every position
- Purchase order number and cost centre as fields in the cart, both on the invoice

For suppliers
Japan builds this itself — which is exactly why there is shelf space here for you
Make or trade in valves, seals, filters or sample gas equipment in Japan, and the first half of this page reads as a market description: ducts in continuous service, steam networks on a survey cycle, and 3,584 manufacturing businesses in a single Tokyo ward with nobody in them to run a tender. Those are your customers, and a marketplace puts them and your range at the same position.
Shelf space costs nothing, and that is not a launch offer with an expiry date: the earning happens on the margin of a position that sells, and nowhere else. You bring in the range and keep your prices in your own hand; the shop, the checkout, the invoicing and the customer contact are our job. What no article carries today — an inspection certificate to EN 10204, a calibration certificate, a PED category — arrives on exactly this route, from the suppliers who issue those papers anyway, lodged as article metadata.
- No listing fee, no monthly fee, no manual product approval
- Your range, your prices, published without waiting for a release
- Manufacturer and supplier are named visibly at every position
