This study examines the juridical aspects of harmonizing product standards between Indonesia and Japan in marketing Banyumas MSME products to the Japanese market. The main focus of the study is to analyze the legal framework governing product standardization in both countries and identify the challenges and opportunities for Banyumas MSMEs to comply with these regulations. The research method used is normative juridical with a comparative law approach. The results show significant differences in product standard regulations between Indonesia and Japan, especially regarding food safety, labeling, and certification. The study reveals that harmonization of product standards requires a comprehensive strategy involving regulatory adjustments at the national level and bilateral cooperation. The findings also illustrate the important role of Banyumas' local government in helping MSMEs understand and conform to international standards. The research conclusion emphasizes the urgency of regulatory harmonization to improve the competitiveness of Banyumas MSME products in the Japanese market. Recommendations include the establishment of a special agency for regulatory compliance assistance, integrated training programs, and economic diplomacy initiatives to bridge the regulatory gap between the two countries.
