Licensing Criteria



 After a license application is filed, METI processes it and judges whether to “grant” or “deny,” based on four elements;



(1)Whether the items will actually reach the stated end-user

(2)Whether the stated end-user will really use the item

(3)Whether the use will not be really used for concerned use

(4)Whether the stated end-user will strictly control the items


In cases of arms exports, METI processes the application carefully in accordance with Japan’s Policies on the Control of Arms Exports.
