... The Soviet Far East and Eastern Siberia are close to Japan, so there should be many opportunities for trade. For this reason, the Soviet side established the All-Soviet Import and Export Office in 1964 and started "coastal trade" (trade between the Soviet Far East and Japanese cities along the Sea of ​​Japan), trading a variety of consumer goods. However, the scale was small, with round-trip trade of $10 million in 1966 and around $60 million even at the end of the 1970s (Japan-Soviet trade in 1979 was around $4.4 billion round-trip).

*Some of the terminology used in relation to "coastal trade (between Japan and the Soviet Union)" is listed below.
