Japanese Trading Company Suspected of Unlicensed Export to North Korea

The Japan Times has reported that police raided a Tokyo trading company last week for allegedly violating Japan's export control laws.

According to the story, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) advised the Toko Boeki trading house that an export license was required before the magnetic measurement device could be exported to North Korea. However, the trading company proceeded to export the item to North Korea without obtaining the export license from METI.

The product to be exported was apparently subject to Japan's "catch-all" controls, which requires exporters to obtain an export license from METI for products not specifically included on Japan's Control List, but could contribute to WMD proliferation programs.
