The Government of Japan controls
military sensitive goods and technologies, including relevant dual-use goods and
technologies, in order to maintain both national and international peace and
security. Based on the Foreign
Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (1949) and its relevant legislations, we request
exporters in Japan to apply for the export license in case:
-
Items or technologies are listed in
the control list; or
-
The export is under the provision of
end-use control such as ‘catch-all
control.’
