What is “deemed export”? What are the Specific Categories?　

When a foreign national is employed by a Japanese institution or has been in Japan for more than 6 months, he/she is treated as a “resident” and the provision of technology to a resident has not been subject to regulation.

As of May 1, 2022, prior permission from METI is required for the provision of technology to a person who is strongly influenced by a foreign government, even if the person is a “resident”. Persons who are strongly influenced by foreign government are those who fall under the following three categories.

• (Category 1) Those who are under the control of a foreign government,　university, etc. based on a contract.
  (ex. those who are employed by a foreign university)
• (Category 2) Those who are under substantial control of a foreign government based on economic interests.
  (ex. foreign students receiving funds for study abroad from a foreign government)
• (Category 3) In addition to the above, persons acting under the direction of a foreign government in Japan.
