Inquire

This document is necessary to determine whether a product involved in export falls under the regulations of security trade control (Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act). A document stating whether the export/provision target falls under "Appendix 1 of the Export Trade Control Order" or "Appendix of the Foreign Exchange Order" is called a "Non-Applicable Certificate."

Why is it necessary? — Background of Export Control
