Choose whole or chunk for Japan when the buyer wants to inspect larger pieces and control milling, extraction preparation, or final cutting locally. Choose slices when a defined arrival-ready cut removes meaningful work at destination.

How whole & chunk fits this destination

Processing fit

Contract processors in Japan can define the large-piece input they need and produce the final cut locally, avoiding a mismatch between an exporter's slice and a customer's line.

Piece definition

For Japan, “whole” or “chunk” is only the start; a written piece definition and approved sample make those trade words usable at receiving inspection.

First-order risk

The avoidable risk in Japan is using “whole” and “chunk” as if they were self-explanatory; receiving teams need a piece definition they can apply without guessing.
