COMPLIANCE CASE DOSSIER
ProductPartySaleA PSE mark alone does not complete the preparation for sale.
We review the regulated product, import and sales structure, technical evidence, inspections and labelling as one case, leaving records that remain explainable after filing.
Who bears responsibility for import and sale
Clarify the contracting party, filing party and operator name shown on labels for each trade and sales structure.
Whether technical evidence and inspection records are complete
Review technical-standard evidence, any required conformity assessment, finished-product inspections and their records.
Confirm pre-sale labels and retained records
Finalise the PSE indication, filed operator name, required warnings, instructions and records to be retained.
IMPORT STRUCTURE
First, determine the import and sales structure.
Import through a Japan-based importer
The Japan-based importer confirms filing, technical-standard conformity, inspection, labelling and related obligations.
Direct sale by an overseas business to Japanese consumers
An eligible overseas business must confirm filing as a specified importer and appoint a domestic administrator who meets the requirements.

PSE and METI: what to clarify before selling.
