TIGER'S HEAD OFFICE IN JAPAN WILL SERVE AS THE MAIN CONTACT POINT FOR THE D2C BUSINESS FOR NORTH AMERICA. (1) NEED FOR INTERNATIONAL TAX ADVISORY AND TAX REGISTRATION SUPPORT (2) NEED FOR LEGAL ADVISORY ON GDPR/CCPA PERSONAL INFORMATION PROTECTION ACT (3) NEED FOR ONE-STOP GLOBAL RESPONSE, BUSINESS PROMOTION, AND LANGUAGE ISSUES (JAPAN WILL BE THE CONTACT POINT). (2) THE NEED FOR LEGAL ADVISORY ON THE GDPR AND CCPA PERSONAL INFORMATION PROTECTION ACT WE CONTACTED SEVERAL FIRMS, BUT OPTI WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH ONE-STOP SUPPORT TO SOLVE OUR ISSUES, WHICH LED US TO THIS RELATIONSHIP.

After I found out that I needed to register for VAT, I searched around to see if I could do it myself, but there was very little information available, probably because it was the early days of cross-border EC. I was in such a situation when I stumbled upon OPTI, which specializes in this field, and I decided to ask an expert to take care of the taxation aspect, since the rules change every year and it is difficult to deal with the taxation aspect, and the time available for dealing with it by myself is limited.

SO FAR, OPTI HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN THE SPEED OF THEIR RESPONSE. THE DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR VAT REGISTRATION WERE PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT AS THEY DIFFERED FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CAREFUL SUPPORT. THERE WERE SOME UNFAMILIAR DOCUMENTS SUCH AS APOSTILLE (LAUGHS).
