Japan: Japan Translates Amended Japanese Agricultural Standards Act

Government of Japan published the official English translation of the revised Act on Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), amended on June 16, 2017. Historically, the JAS system focused on overall product quality. However, with the amended system, Japan aims to establish new specialized certification systems to target emerging niche consumer preferences. Compliance with JAS requirements is mandatory for imported construction materials, such as U.S. softwood. The revised JAS Act may also be of interest to U.S. suppliers of Japan’s food manufacturing facilities, which typically are JAS-certified.
