The U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service issued a guidance Nov. 20 on exporting “small-sized” individual product samples to “interested buyers in Japan.” The guidance is intended for companies that depend on trade shows and travel to showcase their products in Japan but have been unable to do so because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also provides information on duty-free shipments and import notification exemptions for U.S. exporters.
