Something exclusive

If something is exclusive in a geographical location,
can I say it's "...(noun)-exclusive"?(Like "japan-exclusive)
Or must it mostly certainly be ___(adj)(no hyphen here)?

THANKS IN ADVANCE:)

The construction "noun-exclusive" as modifier is possible, but it seems more successful with some nouns than with others. "company-exclusive" is an example that works quite well for me. "Japan-exclusive" doesn't sound so great

GPY Or must it mostly certainly be ___(adj)(no hyphen here)?I don't understand what this means.
For example, "It's Japanese exclusive."

By "adj." it means adjective, it's a very common abbreviation used in almost all dictionaries.

I understand very well what "adj" means. It is "___(adj)" that I don't understand, even now.
