	Comments:	yes, and this can also be plural so it definitely makes sense to extend it to companies of people that do such work. i don't think a change is needed

	Comments:	Hmmm. 輸入者/importer probably began as a person, but the term has broadened. I don't think it changes the suffix. Terms like realtor/grocer/etc. were once used for people but they've been broadened to companies.
4.	A* 2019-04-03 08:40:12
	Comments:	This also refers to companies, e.g. in 輸入者

	Comments:	Not in modern Japanese, at least. The kokugos do have a noun 者 (しゃ) entry but I don't think we need to worry about that.

	Comments:	I don't think 者/しゃ is ever a stand-alone noun in this context. None of my JEs have it, and Daijirin only has it as an abbreviation of 其れ者
