Japan will update export controlled items list

(Turboprop engine model)



Japanese METI announced the pre-evaluation notice of export controlled items list update on its web site on May 27. Japan have joined major International Regimes such as NSG, AG, MTCR and Wassenaar Arrangement. The agreements in these International Regimes are to be reflected into Japanese export control regulation, usually it is updated once a year.

METI announced updated controlled list (draft) in Ministerial Ordinance and start to accept public comment from today until June 25. The updated point this time is reflecting the agreements in November and December 2007 of International Regimes.
(Please be noted the list of Wassenaar Dec 2008 is already available, but the latest 2008 list is NOT included in it.)

Some of the examples of newly added into controlled items list are such as a turboprop engine and its manufacturing equipments, advanced raw material for Semiconductor Integrated Circuit board, and an equipment for invalidating IED (Improvised Explosive Device) etc.

After accepting the public comment, METI will then officially announce the new controlled list and implement with affordable period for making known public. Most likely, the implementation will be around January 2010, based on the past practice.
