I’ve been advised that the Japan office will be closed effective immediately until March 6, 2020. For the C/O’s for Japan, please make certain that the factories all send a clean color copy (without any digital stamps or watermarks) in PDF format under 4MB in data size, prior to sending the original to the Japan office. We request this normally anyway, but it is imperative that this is followed during the closure since all documents will be submitted digitally and no one will be able to get to the office right away just to scan a copy of the C/O. Please have the factories continue to send the originals as usual. Please let me know if you should have any questions.
