What this mark means
Japan’s GI mark identifies products linked to registered geographical indications and their specifications.
Before you add it to your label

- Open the official resource below and keep the current guidance with your artwork brief.
- Have the finished layout checked against the product records and destination-market requirements.
A detail worth checking
A regional name or Japanese manufacture alone does not grant use of a registered GI.
