19. EXPORTING

• 3-phase induction motors are not regarded as strategic equipment and therefore it is not necessary
to apply to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for export permission. However, there is a
possibility of being asked to explain this when clearing the product through customs, and therefore
it will be necessary to request a document from Mitsubishi explaining its non-strategic status.
• Depending on the country to which the product is being exported, limitations will apply based on
local laws and certifications systems, and therefore it is necessary to ensure that the motor is
appropriate for that country.
