Bulk License


Bulk license is valid for 3 years for multiple transactions.  Product should be the same one as permitted the bulk license.  Once METI permitted with deeply investigate and judged, therefore the case of same product to the same country or the same consignee should be the same condition of the export.  This means individual license every time with the same condition is in vain for time and judgement effort for METI.  Then METI grant the bulk license at the first license, and it can be used for three years repeatedly.  Once you get bulk license, you should bring the license sheet to the customs and write the license number on the invoice at the time of exporting.
