Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry METI filing explanation

METI filing is a regulation of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. It can be understood that products exported to Japan need a guarantee from a local Japanese trading company to record your product production information.

How to get METI filing?

METI filing requires PSE certification. PSE is a mandatory safety certification for electrical equipment in Japan. It is divided into two types: round and diamond.

At present, 498 kinds of products have been listed to enter the Japanese market and must pass the PSE safety certification. Among them, 165 kinds of A-type products should obtain the diamond-shaped PSE mark, and 333 kinds of B-type products should obtain the circular PSE mark.

Products must pass the PSE certification before METI filing, and there must be a certificate report to support the Japanese agent to file your product with confidence.

The regulations require that Japanese buyers must register and declare with Japan METI within one month after purchasing the goods, and must mark the buyer's name or ID on the product for supervision and management in the future product sales process.

At present, there is no mandatory METI requirement for customs clearance. Only Amazon Japan Station requires merchants to provide METI filing and PSE certification, and all products in the PSE certification catalog need METI filing.
