*As globalization proceeds, small and medium-sized enterprises, universities, and research institutions also need to be careful about exports and technology provision.
a license must be obtained from the Minister ofEconomy, Trade and Industry as stipulated in theForeign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (FEFTA).
Through international agreements and conventions,nations have agreed to prohibit the use of or tradein nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons,missiles, and conventional weapons. In addition,security export control is implemented mainly bydeveloped countries to regulate the export of civilian orother goods and transfer of technologies that can bediverted for use in such weapons.
