About

Building trust through systems.
We design sea cucumber processing and cross‑border EC & logistics as an integrated operation

Hokkai Trading is a collaborative network that supports companies’ overseas expansion through sea cucumber processing & export and cross‑border EC/logistics for Asia. We do not exaggerate numbers; instead, we increase reliability through the “system” of standardization, transparency and operational capability.

Challenge Pitfalls of overseas sourcing & export

  • Unpredictable raw‑material yield, temperature and hygiene standards that vary by site, and customs & paperwork that consume time—
  • In overseas B2B and cross‑border EC, variation in specifications and information asymmetry impede stable supply.
  • In cross‑border EC, differences in certificates of origin and ingredient labeling often cause returns and resubmissions, becoming major causes of delivery delays.
  • Handling inquiries in local languages becomes person‑dependent, and discrepancies in information lead to mistakes in temperature ranges and inspection requirements.

Solution Standardization at practical level & transparent supply

  • Set processing standards: define yield, specifications and inspection procedures and visualize them by lot.
  • Temperature / hygiene / labeling: make on‑site operations into checklists to detect and correct deviations early.
  • Template documents & customs: template required documents and workflows to reduce export/import backlogs.
  • End‑to‑end EC & logistics: link sales channels with warehouses and shipping to suppress stock‑outs and overstock.

Outcome Unembellished reliability

We base ourselves on reproducible operations. That is why we build unwavering operations and verifiable processes.
Trading partners can concentrate on expanding sales channels with the assurance of stable supply, quality management and document preparation as prerequisites.

How we operate Key points of operational design

Processing & quality
Agree on specifications, processes and inspection procedures in advance. Maintain transparency with records for each lot.
Logistics & customs
Standardize temperature ranges, packaging and invoices/packing lists to smooth customs clearance.
EC & sales
Run B2B and cross‑border EC in parallel. Use demand forecasting and inventory positioning to prevent shortages and overstock.
Transparent reporting
Share manufacturing, inventory and delivery status. Visualize it before inquiries.
Risk management
Design alternative lots/transport/SKUs. Speed up decision‑making in irregular situations.
Compliance
Pay attention to labeling/advertising and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (cosmetics) and avoid misleading expressions.

Because it’s from Hokkaido, both flavor and nutrients. Aponin (saponin) × collagen

Hokkaido sea cucumbers grown in the harsh cold seas are known to have high content of the sea‑cucumber‑specific aponin (saponin) and collagen. Hokkai Trading designs to balance flavor and nutrients through a retention method and standardized operations.

Aponin (saponin)

Triterpene glycosides unique to sea cucumbers. Hokkaido products are reported in literature and studies to have high content and are known as natural ingredients that contribute to the depth of flavor and “sea‑cucumber character”.

  • Processing design: retention‑aware from preprocessing through temperature and time / share lot records & photos
  • Labeling & standards: prepare labels & documents in accordance with the standards of destination countries

Collagen

Protein that contributes to plump texture and juiciness. We design indicators such as solubility, particle size and odor according to use.

  • Quality design: verify solubility / particle size / water activity etc.
  • Management & sharing: visualize records of temperature, hygiene and microorganisms

Strengths of Hokkai Trading

  • Design of stable supply: support B2B planning through specification agreement, inventory positioning and alternative plans
