Can I sell this product in Japan? Start with the facts.
The honest answer depends on the product, ingredients, functions, intended use, labels, origin and import route. The free check gathers those facts, returns a conservative status, and shows which official sources and next actions matter before you launch.
Copy a request, then inspect the actual response contract.
The free key uses the same documented endpoint. Put the secret in a server-side environment variable and never commit it.
