Mountainous areas account for about 76 percent of the country's area. Hokkaido and northern Honshu mountains for the north and south, Shikoku and southern Honshu mountains into the east and west, the two meet in central Honshu, known as the "central mountain knot", for the highest terrain in the country, which has the famous Mount Fuji.

 

Mount Fuji is an active volcano with an elevation of 3,776 meters and the highest peak in the country. The most recent eruption of Mount Fuji occurred in 1707, and it is still erupting. The mountain is a standard conical shape, with year-round snow on the top, hot springs, waterfalls, and five Fuji lakes in the north. The scenery is beautiful, and the Japanese call it "sacred yue".

The largest and most famous plain in the country is the Kanto Plain near Tokyo, with an area of 15,770 square kilometers; Next is the Nagoya near the Nono Plain, Osaka, Kyoto near the Kinei Plain and so on. Japan is located in the west coast of the Pacific volcanic seismic belt, is a country with more than 200 volcanoes, including active volcanoes accounted for 1/3. Earthquakes occur frequently, with an average of about four times a day across the country, making it known as the "Earthquake Country". The Great Kanto Earthquake of September 1, 1923 destroyed 73 percent of the houses in Tokyo and 96 percent of the houses in Yokohama, killing 150, 000 people. And volcanic activity is related to the hot springs throughout the country, a total of about 1,200 hot springs. The river is short, full of water, rapids, rich in water resources, but unfavorable navigation. Among them, Shinonugawa is the longest with a length of 367 kilometers; Ligengchuan basin area is the largest, 16,840 square kilometers.

The Japanese climate

 

There are four distinct seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, with rainfall throughout the year, especially in early summer and autumn. Most of Japan's working areas belong to the temperate zone, suitable for rice cultivation. Due to the narrow territory and the long north-south extension, the climate of the north and south is completely different. The characteristics of the four seasons spring - trees and flowers begin to put on new clothes at the same time. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. People really feel the arrival of spring. Summer - Due to the influence of high pressure over the South China Sea, there are more sunny and muggy days. The typhoon formed off the coast of the Philippines between July and October, and the resulting storms caused considerable damage across Japan. Autumn - Leaves begin to change from green to red and yellow. Winter - seasonal winds blow from the north, resulting in continued heavy snow in the sea of Japan and continued dry and sunny weather in the Pacific.

www.customs.go.jp/tetsuzuki/c-answer/extsukan/5501_jr.htm

7.1.4 Inspection and quarantine of import and export commodities

[Inspection and Quarantine of Agricultural Products] Japan has developed the strictest inspection and quarantine standards for food in the world. In May 2006, according to the food hygiene law of the residues of pesticides in food, feed additive and animal medication implemented a "definite list system", the system provides more than 50000 of the 799 kinds of agricultural chemicals in various agricultural products remain the lowest limit, shall be implemented for the rest of the provision of the specific standards for the project will be turned over to the standard of 0.01 PPM. The Japanese government on imported agricultural products set up a predominantly through monitor and check our command monitoring system, regulation of losing 10% of the agricultural products to monitor examination spot-check proportion, found that overweight is increased sampling rate to 50%, and for more than two found excessive amounts of the same chemical residues of agricultural implement one hundred percent check command to check.

[Animal Quarantine] According to the Law on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases in Livestock, Japan carries out strict inspection and quarantine on animals and livestock products imported from abroad. To carry out designated inspections on artiodactyls, horses and their manufactured products, chickens, quails, ostriches, turkeys and ducks and their eggs; The ban on the import of artiodactoed ungulates and their manufactured products from or through "epidemic areas" such as Europe, Asia and the United States; Imports of poultry and poultry meat outside the designated inspection targets will be prohibited from all countries or regions that have experienced a high level of avian influenza. Japan divides the animal diseases that it focuses on prevention into two categories, one is "livestock infectious diseases", a total of 26 kinds, and the other is "declared infectious diseases", a total of 71 kinds. These two types of diseases are collectively called "surveillance infectious diseases". In recent years, with the spread of African swine fever, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan updated the Law on Prevention of Infectious Diseases in Livestock and took effect on April 22, 2019. According to the Law on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases in Livestock, those who bring livestock products into Japan without being quarantined will be punished with up to three years in prison or a fine of up to one million yen.

The Animal Quarantine Institute is a subordinate department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The Institute is located in Yokohama and has branches in Narita, Chubu Airport, Kansai Airport, Kobe and Okinawa. There are police stations in Hokkaido chitose, sendai, niigata, Tokyo, shimizu, haneda, Nagoya, komatsu, komatsushima, Osaka, okayama, Hiroshima, harata, fukuoka, Nagasaki, kagoshima and naha.

 

[Phytosanitary] Japan conducts quarantine on imported plants in accordance with the Plant Quarantine Law. Japan prohibits the import of invasive plants, harmful plants and plants with soil attachment. The import of some prohibited plants is allowed on the premise that the inspection and quarantine certificate can be provided; Some prohibited plants (such as Chinese straw) may be imported when the site is inspected by the Japanese quarantine officer and the quarantine certificate issued by the Japanese and Chinese government authorities is obtained; The introduction of cultivation seedlings in Japan will be 1-2 years of isolation cultivation quarantine; A quarantine certificate issued by the government agency of the exporting country is required for the import of general plants or, if there is no government agency for phytosanitary inspection in the exporting country, by the Japanese Plant Quarantine Station at the time of import; Wood, furniture, cotton, paper and other products made from highly processed plants do not require phytosanitary treatment.

Quarantine procedure: first, the importer submits the application for plant and animal quarantine inspection. If any, the importer can submit the phytosanitary inspection certificate of the exporting country. Then, the quarantine officer will visually check whether there are diseases, insects and pests attached, or carry out sampling inspection. If not found, a certificate of conformity is issued and customs clearance can be carried out. If found, a certificate of conformity can be issued after disinfection treatment, or the disposal can be abandoned and returned to the original importing country. The animal quarantine procedure is the same.

Phytosanitary inspection is carried out by the Phytosanitary Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, which is located in Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Moji and Naha. Although the Ministry of Health, Labour and Health also conducts quarantine, it only applies to food to ensure food safety.

7.1.5 Customs management rules and regulations

Tariff Law, Tariff Rating Law, Tariff Provisional Measures Law and Tariff Rate Schedule constitute the basic tariff-related legal system in Japan. The Tariff Act is the law concerning the collection and payment of customs duties and customs clearance. The Law of Tariffs Act, enacted in 1911, is the only effective pre-war customs law. It is a highly technical regulation of how to determine tariff rates, tax standards and exemptions. The Interim Tariff Measures Act is to meet the needs of tariff policy adjustment under the new situation of the rapid development of foreign trade under the background of rapid economic growth after Japan's accession to GATT.

Tariff Rating Table, namely Customs Tariff Rules, is the rules and tariff rate classification table formulated and published by a country for levying customs duties on inbound and outbound goods. The table contains the detailed names, tariff rates, tariff standards (AD valorem or specific quantity), tax units, etc., of the goods taxed or exempted. In 1988, after Japan became a contracting party of the Convention on Harmonized System, it began to use the Harmonized System of Commodity Names and Coding (HS) system to make tax rules. The tariff number is 9 digits in international common use, and the tariff is divided into 21 parts and 97 categories. Tariff rate by basic rate, the temporary tariff rate, the WTO agreement rate, pratt &whitney tax rates and preferential rates (Japan for general unilateral preferential tax rate of developing countries, also including against one of the most underdeveloped countries special preferential tariff of LDC), in addition, signed free trade agreement with Japan's national customs tariff single within the tariff. The decision process of tariff rate is divided into two stages, one is commodity classification, the other is the origin of goods. On the whole, except for agricultural products, a few luxury goods and some special goods, Japan has low tariff or no tariff. Non-tariff goods account for about 40% of the total categories of goods, and Japan is a country with a high degree of openness in the world. Attached is the tariff rate table of major imported commodities with high personal interest:

Tariff Schedule of Major Imports of Japan (from 1 April 2019 to present)

 

 

Note: the classification order of Japan's Tariff Rating Table is division and category, and the categories and chapters corresponding to China's tariff rules, that is, category 43 is chapter 43 of China's tariff rules. Because the tariff rate and the tariff rate of each commodity varies greatly due to the country of origin, the material of the commodity, whether there is processing or use, etc., the tariff rate in this table cannot be simply applied, for reference only.

Among them, Japanese exhibitors accounted for 28%, and the other 72% were from overseas exhibitors.

The market background

※ Japan is highly dependent on imports. At present, its self-sufficiency rate of agricultural products is about 40%. Japan imports about 70 billion US dollars of food every year. Earthquake and tsunami caused serious damage to a large area of land in Japan, will give Japan in the future for a long period of time caused immeasurable damage to agriculture. At present, Japan's Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate and other counties rich in rice, aquatic products, fruits and other losses are the most disastrous. Miyazaki Prefecture, Fukushima Prefecture and Tochigi Prefecture, which are the main vegetable bases in the Japanese capital region, will not be able to produce normally for the next three years. Japan's poultry breeding and processing industry is mainly distributed in the Northeast region, which was badly affected by the nuclear radiation. Considering the long-term impact of nuclear radiation, the production of chicken products in Japan will take more than three years to recover, which is an opportunity for China's chicken products export.

※ According to statistics, orders from Japan have doubled since the earthquake, including frozen vegetables, water, seafood, canned vegetables, boiled vegetables and salted vegetables. At the same time, Chinese mineral water also entered the Japanese market this time. Chinese enterprises should take the initiative to grasp the nuclear leakage accident brought part of the agricultural products market vacancy, take the opportunity to expand the export space of Chinese agricultural products.

 

9. Frame section: food category

General Situation of Japanese Sake: According to Chinese historical records, there was only "turbidity wine" in ancient Japan, and there was no sake. Later, some people added charcoal to muddy wine to precipitate it, and then drank the pure liquor, thus getting the name "sake". After the middle of the 7th century AD, the ancient state of Paikche of Korea had frequent contacts with China and served as a bridge for the spread of Chinese culture to Japan. Therefore, the Chinese technique of making wine with "quzhong" was spread to Japan by the Paikche people, which made great progress and development of Japanese brewing industry. By the 14th century, Japan's brewing technology had become increasingly mature, and people used the traditional sake brewing method to produce high-quality products. This is known as "monk wine", the most famous of which is produced especially in the Nara region. Later, the "monk wine" was abandoned, and the brewing center was transferred to the "Shingquan 12 Township", mainly in Idan, Kobe and Nishimiya. In the late Meiji period, it was transferred from the "Shingquan 12 Townships" to the "Beach Five Townships" consisting of Kobe and Nishimiya. Beach five townships from the late Meiji period has been retained "Japan's first wine country" status. Now there are more than 1500 sake breweries of all sizes in Japan.

Exports to China:

According to data provided by the Japan Sake and Shochu Manufacturers Association to Jiemian News, currently, Bunge Shochu and Soo Shin are exporting more to China, with a total export amount of 1.5 billion yen in 2018, of which the Chinese mainland accounts for 31.1% and the US market 25.7%, and China is its largest exporter. In terms of Japanese liquor, the United States is currently the largest exporter of Japanese liquor. In 2018, the total export value of Japanese liquor was 22.2 billion yen, of which the US market accounted for 28.4%, the Chinese mainland 16.1%, and Hong Kong 17%. Mainland China is soon expected to overtake the US market as the biggest export of Japanese liquor.

Kyoto Month Laurel

YUE KWAN Sake is a brand of YUE KWAN CO., LTD., which was established in 1637 (HWA 14). The domestic product is sold by Taiwan weedan company. In 1637 (the 14th year of Kwanaga), the first generation of Okura Jimon came to Kyoto Fumie from Kasa Machi (now Kasa Machi in Sagura Prefecture) in the south of the capital city and started his business. The business name is "Li Zhiwu", and the wine name is "Jade Spring". During the Meiji era, science and technology were introduced in winemaking, with preservative-free bottles introduced during the heyday of cask wine. In 1910 (Meiji 43), the "small bottle with cup" was developed and adopted as the "station selling wine" during the railway academy era, which became the opportunity for the month laurel to become widely known. Later, with the aim of "quality first", it adopted the four-season brewing system of year-round brewing for the first time in Japan, and made use of new technology to produce high-quality wine. In recent years, Japan has transferred its mature Four Seasons brewing system and new brewing methods to the United States, and opened local wine cellars in an effort to supply sake to the world.
