What JASTPRO is

JASTPRO (Japan Association for Simplification of International Trade Procedures)

• It is a Japanese trade facilitation organization, not a car auction or selling platform.
• It works under support from Japanese government bodies like:
  • Ministry of Finance
  • Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry
  • Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What JASTPRO actually does

Unlike the auction sites you shared earlier, this one is not for buying cars or goods.

It focuses on:

• 📄 Standardizing international trade documents
• 🌍 Simplifying import/export procedures
• 💻 Supporting electronic trade systems (EDI, UN/EDIFACT)
• 📦 Managing exporter/importer identification codes (JASTPRO code)
• ⚙️ Improving customs and logistics systems

Important concept: JASTPRO Code

• It issues a standard importer/exporter code
• This code is used in Japan’s customs system (like NACCS)
• It helps identify companies in international shipping paperwork

👉 Think of it like:

A “trade ID system” used in global shipping paperwork.
