A physical reference matters
Drawings, measured samples and physical color references make frame geometry, fit direction, color and logo placement easier to confirm than screen images alone.
Japan project route
Eyewear manufacturing for Japan brands.
XH Glasses supports Japanese brands, importers, distributors and private-label teams through a sample-led OEM/ODM workflow. Applicable Japanese product, labeling, importer, testing and documentation requirements are confirmed for the final specification and sales channel before production.
Discuss this market project ↗Project-specific review
Destination-market requirements depend on the final product, intended use, user group, materials, claims and economic operators. Testing, documentation, marking and labeling requirements are reviewed and agreed for each project before production. This page does not represent that an unconfirmed product is certified or approved for a particular market.
Who we support
Built for B2B product teams.
- Independent Japanese eyewear and fashion brands
- Specialist importers and optical distributors

Market-specific review
Turn visual direction into measurable approval.
Critical details are recorded
The brief should identify important dimensions, acceptable tolerances, lens and component directions, logo size and the buyer’s inspection points.
Color is confirmed by sample
Acetate, metal finishes, lenses and printed packaging do not reproduce monitor colors exactly. Approved physical references should guide production.
Market evidence remains project-specific
Required Japanese standards, tests, labels, importer details and supporting documents must be identified for the final product and sales channel.
What XH handles
From approved brief to export coordination.
Product scope
Acetate sunglasses and optical frames are the main development direction. Metal sunglasses and metal optical frames can also be reviewed. Optical frames are supplied with non-prescription demo lenses only.
Frame geometry, colors, lens appearance, UV400 as a project requirement, logo application and packaging can be coordinated subject to feasibility, sample approval and applicable testing.
Workflow
- Enquiry and destination brief
- Feasibility and specification review
- Quotation and sample definition

Target-market review
Evidence belongs to the final product.
We do not describe an unconfirmed product as approved for Japan or JIS certified. The buyer or importer should identify applicable product definitions, voluntary or mandatory standards, labeling, representation and documentation obligations. If third-party testing or a buyer-appointed inspection is required, the test scope, laboratory, samples, timing, acceptance criteria, responsibility and cost are agreed separately. A report applies only to the model and configuration within its stated scope. Requirements may change, so the final programme should be reviewed by the responsible market professionals before production and placement on the market.

Market FAQ
Direct answers before you enquire.
Can you work from a physical reference frame?+
Yes. A physical reference, buyer-owned drawings and clear measurements can support feasibility review. Final specifications and the buyer’s right to use supplied designs must still be confirmed.
Can you follow a buyer inspection checklist?+
Buyer-defined inspection requirements can be discussed. The checklist, sampling method, acceptance criteria, responsibility and cost should be agreed before production.
Are products automatically approved for Japan?+
No. Applicable Japanese product, labeling, importer, testing and documentation requirements must be confirmed for the final specification and sales channel.
Can 300 pairs be divided among several colors?+
Potentially. Typical MOQ starts from 300 pairs per style in total, with colors combined, subject to material, lens, component and production minimums.
