The Order was issued in 1991 by the previous Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) (renamed as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2001) based on the provisions of the Export Trade Control Order[2] and the Foreign Exchange Order[3], which are the subordinate regulations of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act[4] (hereinafter referred to as the Act). The last revision was made on December 10, 2020.
The purpose of this Act is to ensure the peace and security in international society by restricting the circulation of technologies and goods including nuclear, biochemical, missile, and conventional weapons in the international market. It reflects the latest resolution of various international Multilateral Export Control Regimes (MECR) implemented in Japan, including NSG (Nuclear Suppliers Group), AG (Australia Group), MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime), WA (Wassenaar Arrangement), etc.
