Response to the Clarification of "Deemed Export" Controls (from May 1, 2022)

Until Apr 30, 2022, only "Non-Residents" are the subject to Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act Law (FEFTA). However, from May 1, 2022, "Resident" under the significant influence of "Non-Resident" (a person falling under the "Specific Categories") will also be the subject to FEFTA. (ref: qualification page) Even Japanese persons with Japanese nationality is not free from this issue. In response to this change, RCCS needs to take some actions. Please see below for details.
