According to various news papers as of May 19, a trader in Kyoto is arrested in violation of Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law ("FEFTL"), attempt to export Truck with tank to North Korea. This is considered as violation of Catch-all control provision, which imposes export license to a trader when the items are possibly to be used for WMD (Weapon of Massive Destruction) purpose.
This trader exported the Truck via Korea, where is the exemption of Catch-all control regulation as white country.
He then tried to transfer the truck to North without importing into Korea by arranging with shipping company there, but the cargo was captured by Korean customs authority. The end-user in North Korea is reported as "Korea Paekho 7 Trading". This company is listed as WMD related company in End-User list provided by METI.
The export to the listed company require export license by METI. (But only if the item is apparently NOT used to WMD activity, the license is not required.)
The truck (and its tank) is essential equipment for launching the missile by carrying the missile and its fuel.
