SSW1988 LLC — U.S.–Japan Trade & Consulting
SSW1988 LLC is a California-based trade and consulting company. We help U.S. and Japanese manufacturers, suppliers, and growing brands build distribution channels, coordinate sourcing, and manage the day-to-day details that make cross-border business work — in both languages, on both sides of the Pacific.
The Pacific — from the California coast
What We Do
We coordinate distribution relationships between the U.S. and Japan from first inquiry to repeat orders — quotations, purchase orders, shipping coordination, and the follow-up in between.
We help U.S. businesses source from Japan — and Japanese businesses source from the U.S. — keeping quality, pricing, and communication on track across time zones.
We advise companies on the practical questions of U.S.–Japan business: market entry, distribution structure, and the operations behind them.
We plan and manage social media and digital content for brands that want a consistent, professional presence in new markets.
We coordinate — we are not a customs broker or freight forwarder. See the full scope of our services.
How We Work
We work in English and Japanese, in both markets — so nothing gets lost in between.
You work directly with the founder on every engagement — no handoffs, no layers of account managers.
We don't stop at strategy. We send the quotations, chase the documents, and manage the follow-up — the layer where cross-border deals actually succeed or fail.
Every engagement starts with a written scope, timeline, and fee. Details are confirmed in writing, and commitments are kept.
About
SSW1988 LLC was formed in California in 2024 to give growing businesses a reliable partner for U.S.–Japan trade.
