# Japan PSE Marking for E-Commerce Electronics Sellers

The complete guide to Japan's PSE marking system for e-commerce electronics sellers — from the DENAN law and diamond versus circle marks through METI registration, the domestic representative requirement, and a full practical compliance program for the Japanese market.

A product listed on Amazon Japan or Rakuten without a valid PSE mark isn't just a compliance problem — it's a listing that gets pulled, an account that gets flagged, and a shipment that doesn't move. Since December 25th, 2025, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry extended its Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act to cover cross-border e-commerce sellers directly, making PSE certification, METI registration, and the appointment of a Japan-based domestic representative mandatory for any overseas business selling regulated electrical products into Japan. This course teaches you exactly what that means, in the order a real compliance team has to work through it. The course starts from first principles: what the DENAN law actually says, who it covers, and why the diamond and circle PSE marks exist as separate paths. From there it walks the full compliance sequence — product scope classification, the third-party testing and factory inspection requirements for diamond-marked specified appliances, the self-declaration path for circle-marked non-specified appliances, the technical standards behind both, and the special lithium battery layer that catches more sellers than almost any other requirement. Then it goes deep on the 2025 e-commerce rules: METI registration per product model, the GBiz-ID process, appointing and managing a domestic representative, labeling and documentation, and how platform enforcement on Amazon Japan and Rakuten actually works in practice. Every module closes with a knowledge check, and the course includes nine downloadable worksheets covering product classification, compliance checklists, METI document tracking, domestic representative agreements, labeling requirements, and a complete project planner. Practical walkthrough beats show what a real compliance sequence looks like from first sample to live listing, and what the version of that story that goes wrong looks like too. Built on METI's current regulations, effective December 25th, 2025, and Krono's regulatory database current as of 2026. This course contains the use of artificial intelligence for asthetic purposes.
