Habibi has been delivering Japanese products to customers residing in over 40 countries and regions through its cross-border e-commerce service, 8mart. With the expansion of the cross-border e-commerce market, there has been a growing demand for Japanese brand items from around the world. However, with this global surge in demand, there has been an increase in the circulation of counterfeit products in the secondary market, and establishing an environment individuals where residing outside of Japan can confidently purchase authentic brand items is an immediate priority Miraigakyoki Laboratory operates a nationwide chain of select shops, RINKAN, which is engaged in the purchase and sale of brand items across Japan, and has accumulated a valuation (authentication) track record exceeding 3 million brand items. Last year, the company launched the brand authentication service “SEES BY RINKAN,” which is operated by the specialized staff at RINKAN. This business partnership aims to address the global issue of counterfeit products and establish an environment where individuals residing outside of Japan can confidently purchase brand items from Japan. By combining Miraigakyoki Laboratory’s specialized
authentication capabilities with Habibi’s international distribution network, both companies aim to leverage each other’s strengths to the fullest extent and create new value in the cross-border e-commerce market.
■ Overview of Business Partnership
Customers purchasing brand items eligible for authentication through 8mart can benefit from a rigorous authenticity verification conducted by the specialized staff at RINKAN. This enables Habibi to offer more reliable products to customers residing outside of Japan.
