Hey guys, I am looking to get in business with NK trading co. Ltd. For importing goods in my country.

It's around supper time in Japan and people are getting home from work and relaxing. It may take a while to get an answer.

Although their website looks a bit wonky, and they do not appear on the NTA-CNPS page (not all registered companies do), they look legitimate. Sawano Nanao (澤野七生) seems to have taken over NKT this year. Have you tried contacting them?

I asked them for a virtual meet over Zoom call, as i wanted to discuss the finance and shipping terms, they agreed to it and we did have a nice 40-45 minute call. Because it my first time importing...i am just worried about the legitimacy of the company.

Anyone, please share the verdict...should I place an order with this company?

They seem legitimate and were mentioned in the article by the Japan Search Fund Platform (JSFP) linked above.

The JSFP is jointly operated by JaSFA, a leading search fund provider, and Nomura Group, who wouldn't report on a dubious outfit.

Japan Search Fund Platform Investment Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "JSFP") is a subsidiary of JSFP searcher Yuma through JSFP Ascent Co., Ltd., the search fund of NK Trading Co., Ltd. (Taito-ku, Tokyo, unlisted, representative) Soga. President and CEO: Nanao Sawano has concluded an agreement to acquire the shares of NK Trading Co., Ltd. NK Trading has been engaged in the hobby and toy industry for approximately 20 years in Japan and globally, and is engaged in the import/export and wholesale business of toys and game equipment. The company has built a strong customer base, with a track record of transactions in over 20 countries, backed by a highly international team. As our business has been steadily increasing thanks to the global anime boom, Japan's e-sports, and the popularity of retro games, we have decided to use a search fund to take over our business as a means of making further progress.

Let us know how it went.
