Japan METI filing

Cross-border e-commerce companies who want to sell live products on Amazon in Japan must hold a PSE certificate + METI for the record. The PSE certificate is a certificate that needs to be sent to the laboratory for testing. After the test is passed, the certificate can be processed in the domestic laboratory. The METI filing is to get the PSE certification to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (ie METI) for filing. For products under the PSE category to be listed on Amazon Japan, a PSE certificate + METI must be submitted before they can be listed on Amazon Japan, otherwise they will face the risk of being delisted.
