1, management through national legislation
The Japanese government attaches great importance to the role of the law on the promotion of socio-economic development, the successive promulgation of a series of laws and regulations, such as "Export Inspection Act," "Food Sanitation Act," "Industrial Standardization Act," "Design for Exports Act," "Product Liability Act and so on, through the establishment of legislation to strengthen the inspection of imported and exported goods. The basis for strengthening the management of import and export commodity inspection is established through legislation. These laws clearly stipulate the import and export production, processing, management, sales units and commodity inspection, customs and other law enforcement departments of the legal obligations and responsibilities, and legal sanctions against violators.
2, the key import and export commodities to implement mandatory inspection
According to the Export Inspection Law and other relevant laws, the Japanese government departments as needed, the provisions of a number of government or government-designated private inspection agency must be tested by the types of commodities, also known as the statutory inspection of commodities. Where the scope of the goods are classified as statutory inspection, the production and management of enterprises must be to the government or government-designated inspection agency to declare the inspection, the inspection by these inspection agencies, issued by the certificate of conformity inspection, and the goods are attached to the BESST mark by the Customs examination and verification to be cleared and released. If found in violation of the inspection law, the Customs and Excise Department will notify the relevant government departments, the government inspection agency responsible for re-inspection, investigation and verification, submitted to the local courts, the court, as appropriate, the violation of the law of the parties to be punished.
3, the private inspection agency supervision and management
In order to make the relevant import and export commodity inspection laws are implemented smoothly, the Japanese government attaches great importance to the organization and use of social inspection forces. Japan's domestic private inspection agency by the government authorities in accordance with the provisions of the "Export Inspection Law" approved the business, on behalf of the government to export commodities inspection, to undertake the task of "statutory inspection". In order to ensure the fairness and accuracy of the inspection work, these private institutions in the Government's strict control of the work, the Japanese Government of the relevant private inspection agency's technical level of inspection, inspection equipment and means, the scope and capacity of inspection and organizational structure of the assessment and certification. Qualified to authorize the implementation of the government on behalf of the import and export of goods related to statutory inspection. Government departments of the designated private inspection agency inspection business and inspection results of supervision and management, from time to time to carry out random checks, if problems are found can be withdrawn from the authorization. The relevant government departments also implement the appointment of the leaders of the designated inspection agency, such as appointing the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry or the Director of Food, who has just withdrawn from his current position, to serve as president and chairman of the Japan Grain Inspection Association; the Minister of Transportation confirms the directors and above of the cadres of the Japan Marine Inspection Association and sends them a confirmation letter, etc.; and there are strict regulations on the hiring, dismissal and punishment of its general officers and employees, and all staff members are required to be registered. .
The Japanese government entrusts official and private inspection organizations to inspect designated export commodities. The so-called "designated goods" refers to Japan's "Export Commodity Inspection and Design Promotion Committee" proposed by the designated export goods catalog, the Cabinet issued an order to designate. Japan's Export Inspection Law stipulates that each designated export commodity is subject to inspection standards established by administrative regulations, and that if the quality of exported commodities fails to meet these standards, they will not be allowed to be exported, regardless of whether they are guaranteed or not by the exporter or importer. In the event that designated commodities are exported without statutory inspection, a stop order will be issued against the exporter and a fine will be imposed. Falsification or alteration of inspection agency certificates will be considered a particularly serious "forgery of official documents", which is subject to much heavier penalties than the general crime of forgery of official documents.
